E. J. Waggoner’s Eastern Trip
By Editor
MAY 17 the senior editor of this paper, Elder E. J. Waggoner, left for the East, to be absent probably until about the first of September. After visiting his mother, who has just returned to Michigan from Basel, Switzerland, Brother Waggoner will attend the Pennsylvania and New York camp-meetings, subsequently spending some time with Prof. Wm. R. Harper, at Philadelphia and Chautauqua, for the purpose of completing a course of study in Hebrew which he has been pursuing for several years. May 22 to June 10 Brother Waggoner will be at Williamsport, Penn.; June 10 to 17 at Rome, New York; June 18 to July 3 at Protestant Episcopal Divinity School, Fiftieth Street and Woodland Avenue, Philadelphia, Penn., and from July 5 to August 15 at Chautauqua, New York. Those wishing to write to him personally will govern themselves accordingly. Matter intended for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES or American Sentinel should be sent to the office of publication as formerly. A BAPTIST minister in Eureka, this State, recently preached a sermon in which he took strong ground against all religious legislation, including the Blair bills recently before Congress. He declared that such measures were opposed to Baptist principles. His church, however, seem to have taken quite another view of the case, for we understand that they were so displeased with the sermon that they requested the resignation of their pastor, and will employ some man who will suit them better. Times change, and it seems that Baptists change with them.
