Birth of a Reformation; Or, The Life and Labors of Daniel S. Warner
Byers, A. L. (Andrew L.)
Church of God (Anderson, Ind.) -- History; Warner, D. S. (Daniel Sidney), 1842-1895
And because God has given us an honest heart to confess the sins
of the professed Christendom and show the people that Christ is
not the author of this mass of spiritual whoredom and abominable
wickedness, which has filled hell with lost souls and covered the
earth with blackness and infidelity, the devil howls and rages
in his sectish priests, who are ready to murder us as the Jews
did Christ, Stephen, and thousands of other martyrs who testified
against them and their evil deeds.
As we shall have to meet the people of Walkerton and surroundings
face to face in the day of judgment, God holds us responsible to
tell them that the greatest obstruction to the salvation of souls
is their shoddy, sectish holiness and their abominable, worldly
religion.
Up to the summer of 1887 the evangelistic efforts of Brother Warner
and his company were confined to the States of the Middle West. But
now came a more extensive tour, that should take them as far West
as Denver, Colo. On June 24 they left the Office and after a few
meetings in LaGrange and Jay Counties, Ind., departed for the West.
They stopped at Gilman and Onarga, Ill., and Hayesville, Iowa. From
Keokuk, Iowa, they traveled by steamboat to St. Louis, where the
following report was written:
"Oh, praise the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!"
We have just landed here from the steamboat Sidney, having had a
very delightful trip down the Mississippi from Keokuk. We made the
trip of two hundred miles in twenty hours. The river being very low
at this time, much caution was necessary to avoid running aground.
Doubtless one hundred miles were traveled in passing from one side
of the river to the other to keep the deepest channel.
