Another Cause of Complaint.
By Editor
A PERSON who has seen the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, in a distant State, has sent to us the advertisement of a firm of dry goods merchants, doing business on Broadway, Oakland, which, by some means, had reached that place. And with this are expressions of surprise and regret, that the SIGNS resorts to such methods of building up the cause of God, with fears that there is an enemy in the church of Oakland. We plead for mercy. Do not, dear friends, hold us responsible for all the dry goods business done in this city. Of the firm in question we know nothing. We cannot say that any person in or about this Office has ever been guilty of buying a yard of calico there. We are willing, however, to have the matter thoroughly investigated, if there are any fears of our having done so. And we have no idea how the complainant became possessed of the advertisement. We notice this to show how it is that the people get tried with the Office and the church. "Let us have peace."
