The Paper.

By Editor

The lengthy review of the article of M. in this number, prevents us from giving a desirable variety of matter. We could not well divide it, as it seemed connected. We also had a desire to give it connected, that our readers might give the whole subject a careful investigation at once.

Some of our readers, those who received the "Present Truth" in 1850, know that we wrote a brief review of M.'s article, and published it in that paper, also in pamphlet form. But as M. has published his article the fourth time, and as many of the readers of the "Review and Herald" have never seen our review, we thought it our duty to give his article a more lengthy notice. We invite all into whose hands this sheet may fall, to give it a careful reading. This is a subject of no small importance. Study it well, and decide this question in reference to Eternity.

Beside the regular number of copies, we shall have 2000 struck off for distribution. The extra copies will contain the entire review of M. That portion left out of this number will appear in the next. We did think of publishing the review in pamphlet form, but in paper form more than one half the expense is saved.

Will the brethren assist us in the circulation of the 2000 extra copies? Their expense will not exceed $1,25 a hundred. If sent by mail we shall be obliged to pre-pay the postage. Large quantities should be sent by express. Let the extras be circulated, brethren, and judiciously circulated, and let them do what good they can.
