The Christian Advocate’s Slander

By Editor

OUR neighbor across the bay, the Christian Advocate, has once more demonstrated its right to the first portion of its name, by publishing as its leading article a slanderous tirade on Adventists. We have had occasion several times to point out some glaring errors in the Advocate, and we accept this as its reply. In our strictures we have used only the word of God; but as that is "quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword," it has doubtless made a severe wound. We have no disposition to find fault with the Advocate because it has retorted with slander instead of with argument. We can do no otherwise than be thankful when people give us the best they have.
