Tn the grain attacked by this-fly, says the Doctor, it will :be found that the head is mostly chaff; in place of the grains of wheat in the upper part of the head, one finds two or three orange colored eggs or maggots, about a sixteenth of an inch in length. ‘These develop into a little fiy; in size as large as a gnat, yet mos-‘quito-like in form.

- "KENDALLVILLE LOCALS. ~ The Beecher-Tilton verdict proves unsatisfactory to most all here.

'SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS.

'THEIR ORIGIN AND PROGRESS. ~ As stated ighour issue of last week, the Tent Elders holding forth here during the past five or six weeks, and at present located at LaGrange, succeeded in making forty-one converts to their doctrines. We understand that ‘no formal organization was effected, the, conyerts simply pledging themselves to ebserve the seventh day of the week as their Sabbath. Services will, however, be held regularly each Saturday in the Town Hall. - * ‘The establishment in our midst ofa ‘new denomination naturally excites more or less curiosity as to its *doc‘trines and peculiarities. Ever on the alert to furnish' the public trustworthy information on~elllery subject of popular interest, Tie BANNER herewith presents to its.readers a brief sketch of the origin, progress and, principles of the Seventh Day Adventists —the main. facts being derived from documents kindly furnished us.by Elder Lane. .. S Although the rise of the Seventh‘Day Adventists was incidental to the advent movements of 1840-4, they affect” to differ from the class of men who looked for the énd of the world in 1843 in important particulars.-— They reject the habit of “time-setting,” which has so much disgusted the world, and done so much to bring prophetical study into disrepute, 9believing that no word in" the Bible is designed to mark the day or year of Christ’s advent or-else that the prop‘netiq periods have terminated, so that we have no data from which'to argue respecting a definite time."— Another particular in which this order differs from other Adventists is in the observance of the Seventh Day Sabbath. i 0] b The introduction of the observance of the Seventh-Day Sabbath was largely through the agency of Mrs. Richard D. Preston, a Seventh-Day Baptist of New York, who visited Washington, N. . in 1844, where there was an Advent Chureh. From ‘that church she received the doctrine of the sooncoming,of Christ, while she, in turn, indoctrinated the church with her views of the Foarth Commandment. Nearly the whole church immediately commenced theobservance of the Seventh Day, by which it has hecomre distinguished as the first Seventh-Day Adventist church in America. The. agitation .of the Sabbath ' question among Adventists grqd"ually became general, by which many were soon won from their ranks .to the new chureh, and among -the most prominent of the early converts were Eld. Joseph Bates, Elder James White, the founder, and, to the present time, manager of the Seventh-Day Publishing Works, at Battle Creek, Mich., and President of the five leading organizations, and Elder J. N. Andrews, author of many of the leadihg doctrinal and practical .works published by the association. * 3 3

CHURCHES AND CHURCH ORGANIZA- ~ TIONS. S

The Advent Church organization is exceedingly simple. Any body of believers. fnay associate together, taking the name of ‘Seventh Day Adventists, attaching their names to a covenant simply to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, taking the Rible as their creed. A clerk is chosen to keep the records of thé church and an elder, elected by vote of the church, is ordained to look after its spiritual interests. The spiritual ovessecr need not be an ordained minister, but evangeélists, who travel from place to plaee to preach the gospel, and who are_the only ones competent to ordain local glders and deacons, must be ordained. )

The headquarters of this sect is. at Battle Creek; Mich., where it has an extensive publishing house, a college, and a health reform institute—all in a highly flourishing condition. The “head center” is doubtless Eld. James White, pastor of tlie church organization at Battle Creek. 'This congregation contains about 230 members. Its Sabbath School and Bible Class contain about 150. The meetings of the churcly are at the usunal hours of ser. vice .on every Seventh Day, including a genéral prayer meeting on Wednesday evening.

The other churches of this denomination are pretty much an outgrowth of the one in Battle Creek, —established through the missionary zeal; or spirit of propagandism" which has animated the ministers of the Battle Creek- society.; About 300 churches have; been organized, with an enrollment of 8,000 members, while. many are so scattered as to make it impossible to belong to any church organization. The wholé number is estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000. Their or. dained ministers number 60 and their licen'tiates 75. None of the churches have pastors stationed with them.— They maintain their worship without the aid of a preacher, except as. one occasionally visits them, which leaves the ministers .free to devote almost their whole time to the ' propagation of their views among those who have not heard them. In the summer they make use of large tents, from 40 to 60 feet in diameter. During the summer of 1874 no less than 34 of these were in use in the different States. In thirteen of the States Comferences have been organized, composed of -the churches of the State, to which all theministers of the State, by virtue of their office, belong. At the annual meeting of the Conference an Executive Committee of seven is chosen to “have supervision of all the ministerial “and religious work between the yearly meetings. The General Conference is composed of delegates from all the State Conferences, appointed at their annual meetings, whgse object is to unify the work in all localities, equalize labor and ‘supply destitute fields with help. . T

The Sabbath question has attracted wide-spead attention. It'is onewhich concerns not only the religious but also the secular world. Everybody is therefore interested therein. With a view to bringing the strong points of both sides before the public we will, next week, commence the publication of a plain and comprehensive re’v/ieiw of the whole question, in colloguial form. We feel confident that the points thus presenteéd will prove high1y acceptable to the reading public.
