The thoughtful observer will see by the foregoing table of contents that Elder W. has given to the public in the brief space of 192 pages a very thorough work on the subject of Baptism. The full value of his effort, however, can be realized by the Bible student after giving it a careful reading. It should have a wide circulation.

It will be noticed by this week’s paper that the date of some of the Annual Meetings has been changed in order to give more time for religious services; still all the important meetings come during the first week of the camp-meeting, and it is hoped that there will be a full attendance from the first.
