Notes on This Issue

By Editor

It will be noticed that two of the Sabbath school lessons are given in this issue. We do this as there will be no paper next week. In our next issue will be printed two Sunday school lessons.

This paper contains the last of the series of articles to parents on the training of children and the home life, by Mrs. E. G. White. If the instruction is followed, these articles are of infinite worth even in this life. We hope they may be read and cherished.

In accordance with our usual custom we omit a number of the Signs of the Times at the time of the annual camp meeting of this State and the yearly meeting of our publishing house. There will be no Signs of date of May 21. No. 29 will bear date of May 28.

The Encyclopedia Britannica is quoted as saying, "The ethics of socialism are identical with the ethics of Christianity." That depends on the kind of socialism. There is only one thing the ethics of which is identical with the ethics of Christianity, and that is the Decalogue. But Christianity is simply the Decalogue worked out.

We learn by the last Review that Elder Uriah Smith, editor of the Review and Herald, will accompany Elder S. N. Haskell to Europe. Together they will visit our various camp meetings and mission fields in the European countries. May the Lord go with them. Elder G. C. Tenney, formerly editor of the Bible Echo, Australia, is now one of the editors of the Review. In the absence of Elder Smith the paper will be managed by Brethren Tenney and M. E. Kellogg.

We have received a copy of "Protestantism, True and False," by A. F. Ballenger, the same as was printed in Signs No. 18, with a page additional of valuable testimony from the Roman Catholics. This tract considers the Protestantism of the Reformation, the principles of Christianity, the decline of Protestantism, with the position of Protestantism of to-day as set forth by the testimony of acknowledged authorities in the various Protestant churches. It is a strong document, and one that every Protestant should read. Price, 4 cents. Address Religious Liberty Library, 271 West Main Street, Battle Creek, Mich., or any of our State tract societies.
