Anti-Advent Literature

By Editor

The Baptist Flag says:—

"Brother ———, of ———, has a large quantity of anti-advent literature. Let those who are annoyed with advents, write to him. 4-page pamphlets, closely printed, 1 cent each. You will be greatly helped by them; they will quietly do the work for you."

An "advent" means a "coming;" those who are "annoyed with advents," are probably those who are troubled by too frequent callers; and the good brother's "anti-advent literature" is simply, in plain language, a specific against bores. He doubtless gives one of his tracts to a caller, who, after reading it, never dares come again. Good idea. We have, however, certain books in our library which we think would answer the same purpose, so we will not invest.
