MILLENNIAL HARBINGER.

By Editor

"SABBATARIANISM.—Fifty Unanswerable arguments against Seventh-day Sabbath Keeping, is the title of a tract of 16 pages, by Bro. A. N. Seymour. Price 3 cents, single; postage 1 cent; or, for gratuitous circulation among those seduced by this law-keeping, vision-loving, and truth-hating delusion, $1 per 100 copies, postage, 16 cents. Will be ready for sale in a few days.
"This tract sets forth some strong and powerful arguments against keeping the Mosaic law in this age, and is just the tract to put into the hands of those in danger of being entrapped by this Sabbath-keeping delusion. Paul declares if men will keep the Mosaic law, then Christ shall profit them nothing! Who then will give up Christ for a dead law? None, unless they are deceived by the fables and visions of this illusion!! May God deliver all his people from this imposition!
"For sale at this office. Send for them by hundreds."
We clip the above from the Millennial Harbinger, as a rare specimen of that dragonic bitterness [Rev. xii, 17] which some men feel toward the Lord's Sabbath and those who observe it. It seems indeed wonderful that so much venom could be spit out in the advertisement of a three cent tract! And our first impression was that it must be the well-known strain of the author of the tract, or the sullen mutterings of the former editor of the Harbinger against the Sabbath, and visions, and the law of God, rather than from the pen of Thomas G. Newman. When Bro. Newman was at the Review Office a few months since, the printers were favorably impressed with the new editor of the Harbinger.
When that paper first appeared in our Office with its improved dress and new editor, we remarked that it was well for that sheet that it had a New-man to conduct it, and we took pleasure in looking over the paper, which under a former administration treated us so contemptibly. But if the above advertisement came from the pen of Bro. Newman, we must conclude that he became poisoned on his Western tour by A. N. Seymour, or some other no-law, no-Sabbath spirit of the West, or that the mantle of Joseph Marsh has fallen upon him.
