The Review and Herald.

By Editor

Battle Creek, Mich., Fifth-Day, Feb. 14, 1878.

We commence, this week, a very important article on the subject of Baptism, from the pen of Bro. Waggoner. It will treat the subject more fully than anything heretofore published in the columns of the REVIEW, and hence will supply a long-felt want. It will occupy several numbers of the paper. Begin with the beginning and carefully read them all as they appear.

The article from Bro. Ribton, of Italy, on our third page, will be read with interest by all. We are happy to hear Dr. R. express himself so decidedly in reference to the great doctrine of the near coming of Christ.

We have shipped, during the past week, by mail, express and freight, books to the amount of $1296.27, as per receipts in this number. The rays of light are being thus rapidly scattered over all the land.

The SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Oakland, Cal., our pioneer paper, reported in its last issue, a regular subscription list of nine thousand.

The same telegram last week brought important news from the two great centers of attraction in the East: namely, of the death of the pope, and the occupation of the fortifications of Constantinople by the Russian troops. This last movement, it is said, involves matters in new complications, and opens the Eastern Question in earnest. The end is not yet.
