MOUNTAIN VIEW.

By Editor

THIS number of our paper is printed in our new quarters at Mountain View; but the type was set and the curved plates made for our big rotary press in Oakland, with the exception of the last page.

This last page we are writing in the midst of "confusion worse confounded." Our editorial rooms are yet unfinished. Plastering is on, windows are in, part of the doors are hung, but facings and finishings are yet wanting. Floors are covered with lime and litter. But in one of them are sixty or more boxes of books piled in a promiscuous way, and in the corner, with a little table in front of him, sits the editor penning this note and this page.

If this issue be a little late, we hope our friends will more than pardon us; for if they but knew the strenuous work we had been through in the last three weeks, we are sure they would say we deserved it. Conscious of this we are not conscience-smitten, yet we are endeavoring to do our most and best under the circumstances.

Our news department has been utterly demoralized on account of getting out our paper before its date; but the vital, mighty Bible truth it contains is as potent as ever. But from now on we hope to be running as regular as ever, and in a few weeks better than ever.

Some of our presses here have been running for several weeks, and one whole edition of a book, "Heralds of the Morning," has been printed here.

A number of our employees are tenting on the ground, and a most creditable vegetarian restaurant is in operation. All are doing nobly, and in a few weeks, by the Lord's blessing, we shall be "out of the woods" in the clear highway of regular work.
