News and Obituary Notices
By Editor
WE learn by the last Review that Bro. Andrews was very feeble, not able to prepare matter for the French paper, of which he is editor. His life has been prolonged, we trust, in answer to many prayers in his behalf. But we are yet mortal, and he too may sleep, for one by one the old laborers in this cause are falling. But not long will they sleep. Soon shall “mortality be swallowed up of life.” WE copy from the Review the obituary of our highly-esteemed brother, Elder Stephen Pierce. Brother Pierce was a man of excellent qualities; he had a good education, and a sound judgment; but he was of a retiring disposition, and well satisfied to do good without making himself prominent in the work. He will be missed especially by those who looked to him as a counselor. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth.” JUST before our paper went to press we received the Review and Herald and find that the editor has also noticed the article in the Crisis on “Miller’s Mistake Explained.” We said in closing our article we would be pleased to notice some other things in the comments of Mr. S., and we are now pleased to find that Bro. Smith has noticed some of them. It is very seldom that the editorials of the two papers happen to be on the same subject. But as the method and matter of the two differ so largely the readers will probably not regret it this time.
