In the Battle Creek Daily Moon of September 16 we find this item:— “In a newspaper report of the proceedings of the Methodist Conference at Muskegon the following occurs: Dr. N. S. Gamble, of the True Sabbath, presented the needs of his work. He stated that the Methodist Church is annually losing from two thousand to twenty-five hundred members to the Seventh-day Adventists, and that the faith of fifty thousand more is unsettled by the literature which is scattered broadcast.” We were not aware that any such numbers from the Methodist Church were uniting with the Seventh-day Adventists annually. But the statement is too gratifying to be rejected on any technical ground. A REPORT is published that a private in Company H of the Fifteenth United States Cavalry, Devine by name, has been sentenced by court-martial to twenty years’ imprisonment for saying, “Served him right,” with reference to the shooting of President McKinley.
