New Department

By Editor

NEW DEPARTMENT. We open this week a new department in the paper—the Historical Department. We have some very interesting sketches of history, throwing light on the prophecies, which we wish to lay before the readers of the Review. But as the paper is too small to carry on the Historical and Commentary departments together, we have concluded to alternate these two departments, giving gems of an expository nature one week, and historical sketches the next. If the Review contained 16 pages, we could do better; but we will do the best we can with the facilities we have.

The reader will be interested in what appears under this department in this number from the pen of Bro. Goodrick. In a very pleasing style he throws his reasoning around the false statements of Mosheim, like the huge folds of an anaconda, drawing them closer and closer, ’till the Doctor’s “traditionary” history for Sunday-keeping is at last crushed to death in their inexorable embrace.
