By Editor

Battle Creek, Mich., Fifth-Day, Feb. 21, 1878.
Number 7, Vol. 2, of Les Signes des Temps, for January, 1878, Bale, Suisse, has been received. It is filled with the usual variety of interesting and instructive reading on the great features of our faith and work. Bro. Andrews is fitting up an office in which all the work upon his books and papers, excepting the press work, will be done by our own people. Publications will soon be issued from his office in German and Italian, as well as in French. The February number of Les Signes will be set by S. D. Adventists.
How to make people honest seems to be the great problem of the present age. All else failing, resort is had to machinery. Various devices have long existed to make car conductors and stage drivers place all their change in the right channel; and now a machine is illustrated in the Scientific American of Feb. 16, which is designed to be applied to employees of every kind who have the handling of funds, to keep them from diverting a portion of them wrongfully to their own private uses. This is a striking commentary on the present condition of society.
“THE MOST UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL.”—The Toledo Blade addresses a letter to this Office subscribed as follows: “Advent Review and Sunday Herald.” Accuse us of most anything else, but do not charge us with heralding Sunday unless it is explained that we herald it only as a human institution, begotten by paganism, sprinkled with its un- “holy water” by the papacy, and set up in the Christian church, but according to prophecy to be rooted out of the true church in the last days, in preparation for the coming of the Lord. The above address simply shows how inseparably Sunday has become connected in the minds of the people, with any idea of a day of rest, through centuries of erroneous teachings on this subject. But we are happy to say that the efforts now being put forth to correct this impression, showing that Sunday is only Sunday and the Sabbath is the Sabbath still, are meeting with very gratifying success.
