Signs Supplement.

By Editor

The first number of the Supplement, which was mentioned in our last week's paper, was issued bearing even date with that paper, Sept. 7. It is important to our people, and to others. What is now taking place in California will soon transpire in Eastern States. Our brethren everywhere ought to know what is being done in this religio-political excitement on the Pacific Coast. The following is the list of articles:—

To the Public—showing our interest in the present Sunday movement. To our Brethren—explaining the reason why we made an effort to get the Republicans to favor our being exempted from Sunday penalties. Well Begun—on the Sabbath reform. Political State Conventions—a notice of the State Conventions of the two parties, with incidents of the Republican Convention, with our Address to that Convention. Who Will Circulate It?—giving the real object of our Address. Sunday Enthusiasm—a notice of the reception of the "Sunday plank" by the Republican delegates. A Word to Protestants—concerning the Protestant faith, and the Sabbath and Sunday; a good article by the editor of the Review and Herald. The Whole of It—containing sections 299, 300, and 301, of the Penal Code, or the "Sunday Law;" sections 7, 9, and 11, of the Civil Code, or the law concerning legal holidays; the Democrat and the Republican resolutions or "planks" on the Sunday question. This is an important article for reference. With several short articles, and advertisements of the books, "The United States in Prophecy," "Religious Amendment to the Constitution," and the "History of the Sabbath and the First day of the Week."

As we expect and intend to circulate a large number, the price has been reduced. One copy, ten weeks, 25 cents; six copies, to one address, $1.00; $10.00 per hundred. If any have sent according to the terms first published, we will increase the number to correspond to the amount.
