“Pretty Good.”

By Editor

Such was the uniform exclamation of some half-dozen persons whose eyes fell upon the following paragraph as we were clipping it from the Detroit Evening News, of Feb. 2. We think all our readers will concur in the sentiment:—

“The editor of the ADVENT REVIEW AND HERALD does not resent the wholesale abuse heaped upon that peculiar people, the Adventists. He argues that it advertises their faith and brings their doctrines the more conspicuously before the public. It can be truthfully said that the Adventists of Michigan are, as a class, a devout, industrious, progressive, law-abiding, honest folk—living exemplars of Christianity in all their walks in life. Those who abuse them show little taste and less brains.”

Of which two last-named valuable commodities, we are happy to say that the News seems to possess its full share—as evinced by the foregoing remarks.
