Reviews of Sabbath and Human Nature Debates
By Editor
THIS WEEK'S REVIEW.—Again Bro. Smith treats the readers of the Review with a slice of his review of Eld. Preble. As he proceeds, the interest of the discussion increases. It is now about half through. Both sides will make a splendid book on the question of the Sabbath and law of about two hundred and twenty-five pages, which will be ready in a few weeks. We commence this week the publication of the discussion of the Nature and Destiny of Man, between Eld. N. V. Hull, Seventh-day Baptist, and Eld. R. F. Cottrell, Seventh-day Adventist. It is first given in the Sabbath Recorder, the organ of the Seventh-day Baptist denomination, published at Westerly, R. I. The arrangement to publish the discussion in both the Sabbath Recorder and the Review and Herald, will doubtless meet the approbation of the friends of both writers. This discussion should accomplish much good. The reports from messengers this week are good and cheering. But we suggest an improvement. That each preacher report as often as once in two weeks. The items of importance will then be fresh to the writer, and will possess interest to the reader, far beyond those quarterly, statistical reports.—These reports can be from two lines to as many columns of the Review, according as the writers have facts of interest to report. The Secretary's report of new subscribers for the month of April shows what can be done. At this rate only, our yearly increase would be 2484. But the increase for May should be 1000. We recommend to all our preachers to see what Bro. Cornell is doing in the line of obtaining new subscribers. He is at work for God and his cause. Who will outstrip him in this work for May? All new subscribers obtained during the month of May will have their subscription commence with the next volume. We now offer to send them those copies of the present volume which contain Bro. Smith's review of Eld. Preble, and the discussion of the Nature and Destiny of man, free, as long as they can be furnished. Brethren, after you have read this good paper, you will think of friends who should have the Review one year at least. Well, just write out a list of such persons, with their post-office addresses, and enclose one dollar for each one, and the Review shall be sent them one year. We feel stirred to the work of improving the paper. It is all the paper hundreds of our worthy brethren have. We ask our brethren to help us extend its circulation, and increase its usefulness. With the helping hand of all the friends of present truth, the prayers of a living church, and the blessing of God, our steam press may be a mighty engine to forward the glorious cause of truth.
