At this place Mr. Kessler also encountered the heresies of Millerism and Materialism, which proved to be sources of considerable an- noyance, as they created uneasiness among the members of his own church, there always being some who are ever ready to run after some strange ism, declaring, *'We have found the Christ. " At first he determined to take no notice of the new heresies. But these strange doctrines made progress, and the mem- bers of his own church, especially the less stable ones, wer...e becoming more or less con- taminated. Observing this, Mr, Kessler deter- mined to openly declare against them, believing that to continue silent any longer would be to incur guilt. So he gave the agitated questions some thought; and one Sabbath morning, the EEV, J. S. KESSLER. 129 house being well filled, he opened fire npon the enemy by delivering a very clear and for- cible discourse against these modern heresies. Considerable excitement was produced. Some of the more fickle-minded of his own members took offense at his sermon, declaring that it was aimed at their neighbors, members of these new persuasions, whom they believed to be good men; failing to see that the discourse was aimed at the doctrine, and not at any par- ticular man.
