Thank You, Gentlemen.

By Editor

OUR opponents are doing a vast amount of advertising for us gratis. In all parts of the land articles are making their appearance against the seventh-day Sabbath, and against Seventh-day Adventists. Our friends, naturally desiring to see them answered, forward them to this Office; but should we attempt to answer them all, we should simply use up all our time and all our space, in this work alone. We are assured that in the end these can do nothing against the truth, but for it. They may for a while succeed in deceiving the honest; but not long; for this work is not to be done in a corner; and the time is not far distant when every honest person will have the privilege of hearing for himself the real facts connected with our work and the evidences upon which our message rests.

Then let the opposers work. They are only increasing the agitation, advertising our cause, and preparing the way for the further spread of the light. Meanwhile, our mission is, to go steadily forward with our work, scattering the clear truth of the Bible, to the extent of our ability, through all the land.
