The New Press.

By Uriah Smith

The new cylinder press for this Office has been received, and is now in running order. The Advent Tidende and the Health Reformer have been worked off upon it. It does its work smoothly and well, and gives every promise of being an efficient and durable press. The weight is 14,675 pounds, or nearly 7½ tons; size of the bed, 33 by 46 inches. It was manufactured by Messrs. Cottrell and Babcock (Seventh-day Baptists), Westerly, R. I., and is one of their first-class presses, worth at their catalogue figures, $3,400. As, in the service of our Association, it is to be used for religious purposes, and perhaps because it is to be used to promulgate views upon the law of God, which S. D. Baptists and S. D. Adventists alone hold in common, they made a very generous discount on the price to this Office.
