Charles f. Freeman, Second Adventist, had
been attending revival meetings Some days ago

revelation He says the Lord directed him to
sacrifice his little daughter, and declares she
will rise again in three days. He sent word to
the neighbors he would make revelation known,
and offer orthodox sacrifice. A number of Sec
ond Adventists assembled at his house, but the
child had then been killed. The little one was
transixed with a knife, and her blood poured
out upon table, improvised as an altar"

ventist, and his wife have been committed to
jail for the murder of their 5-year old child

claimed that the death of the child was in obe-
dlence to the divine mandate A number of
