What Shall We Do?

By Editor

WE have been censured by some because we pay so much attention to the writings of those who oppose the truth, and take so much space to review their pretended arguments. On the other hand we have received several letters requesting us to review an article which appeared in the Restitution on the subject of the Sabbath and the first day of the week. The article was sent to us in the form of a tract, some time ago. After a careful reading we then decided not to fill our columns with a notice of it, as it contained only high-sounding assertions with scarcely the shadow of an argument. The article is taking only with those who prefer sound to good, sensible argument. But we have reviewed at length much better articles, and do not see the propriety of reviewing that. However, if any reader finds a statement in it which appears to involve our views in any difficulty, we will answer any question in regard to it.

Requests often perplex us. We recently received an urgent request from Washington Territory to give our opinion of the final destiny of the wicked. We very often publish on this subject. Our belief may be found in Rom. 6:23; Phil. 3:19; 2 Thess. 1:7-10; 2 Peter 2:12, etc. Besides our paper we have excellent publications, carefully written, on these subjects, for sale at the SIGNS office.
