The Liars’ and Fools’ Department

We have sometimes thought it would be necessary to open a “Liars’ Department” in the REVIEW, in which the wretched falsehoods of that class mentioned in Rev. 22:15, might find a fitting grave. But if we may judge from the following, we shall have to call it the “Fools’ Department,” as well as the liars’. This is what a person signing himself “Anti-Adventist” says in The Triumph, of June 2, 1876, published at Ottawa, Kansas:—

“He thinks there are others who are taking a great deal of trouble in regard to these Adventists. There is, the reason is because they are such an annoyance to the community; they do more work on Sunday than any other day of the week, and have caused some who used to regard Sunday, to now work on Sunday as on any other day, and also setting a bad example by breaking into a house that was locked and preaching that they were going to kill all the anti-adventists as soon as they got strong enough.”
