Ed, toR BULLETIN:-


A 'ittle over four months ago ar
rived in Honolulu, and as my custom
is, visited the "Y. M. G. A. Mr..
Fuller, knowing me stranger, made
enquiries as to my past life. gave
him my testimonials, which, he said,
he showed to the pastor of the Union
Congregationalist Church, who kindly
called and invited me to preach to
his people. | was invited to deliver
q series of lectures in the 'I. M. &.
A." on "The Sabbath and the Law"
and told at the same time that |
would be likely to have opposition
from The Seventh Day Adventsts
who were represented by Elders
Bush and Burgess, and as the "'Y.
M. G. A." building was non-secta-
rian, they must have an opportunity
to defend their doctrines each even
ing. | assented to Mr.. Fuller's re-
quest, gave the lectures, at each of
which the Seventh Day Adventists
earnestly tried to bolster up their
"Sabbath and Law.
Next, came along Elder Haws, of
the Reorganized Church of the Latter
Day Saints. He called on the proper
officers of the "Y. Nj. G. A." and
asked for the use of the hall for a
course of Bible lectures. He was
refused, because in addition to the
Bible he held that the "Book of
Mormon was given by God to man.
Next, | was invited to organize a
Bible class in the "Y. M. C. A." The
class grew from about II up to 80,
but at that junc.ure, the subject of
baptism came up and because |
could not find sprinLling for baptism
in the Bible | was unceremoriously
stopped in my work by putting
another in the hall on that evening,
without even asking my consent or
notifying me thereof,
Next, Elder G. B. Starr, minister
in the Church of the Seventh Day
Adventists of the Latter Day Saints,
comes along. He is introduced to
the pulpit of the Union Congrega-
tionalist Church by the pastor, in a
clandestne way, for none were Lold
that he was Seventh Day Adventist
minister. He applies for the use of
the Y. M. c. A. building in which
TO give a series of Bible lessons. The
building is granted, the pastor of
the Union Congregationalist Church
and daughter, rendering him assist
ance, one at the piano and the other
in public prayer. Last night | chal-
lenged the truthfulness of the teach
ing and was prepared to show that it
was unscriptural, but Elder Beck
with arose and said | was out of or
der, that Elder Starr had the use of
the hall for his meetings. And | was
politely told by the lecturer that if |
did not like the doctrine taught, 81
could retire"
But what are the doctrines held
and taught by "The Seventh Day
Adventists?" ! give you few sam
pies of it copied from their own
works. They hold and teach that
"Elen G. White is a prophecies of
the Lord" "Her writings" like
the Bible, ''are revelations from
God'' and must be "accepted as
such Saturday is the Sabbath"
keeping Sunday is a mark of the
beast" "Satan has taken posses
son of the Church as body" ''The
churches are left as were the Jews
# 4 II their prayers and their ex-
hOrtatiOns are an ahomination in the
sight of God" at is the devil who
answers their prayers Goods
people have come out of her, she is
now the synagogue of Satan" The
above quotations refer to the whole
of the Protestant churches.
They further teach that "the
wicked and the devil will be annihil-
ated." That call churches but their
own are Babylon and rejected of
God" that "when Christ comes only
IA 900 will be saved and all these
will be Seventh Day Adventists.
Are these the doctrines that tie
pastor of the Union Congregational
Church desires taught from his pull
pit and in the "Y. M. C. Az? If
any doubt the truthfulness of my
quotations | will be glad to have
them come to my house when I will
give them the proof, for | am ex-
cluded from the use of the "Y. nj.
G. A" because | teach that the
Greek for Baptism is the word trans
lated from the Greek into English
Immersion" which can be seen, by
turning to any Greek and English
Lexicon. And all Protestants accept
immersion for baptism, while but
only few hold that sprinkling is
baptism.
l wonder if the Jealous managers
of the ''Y. M. G. A." will shut down
on the Seventh Day Adventists, when
Elder Starr comes to the 9th chapter
of Romans and teaches immersion!
Surely, it is no wonder that the
word "missionary'' is a stencil in the
nostrils of tens of thousands of the
inhabitants of these isles and that
there are so many sceptics, infdels
and atheists, when protested followers
and leaders in the cause of Christ
