The Eastern Camp-Meetings.
By Gen. Conf. Com.
We give the time of these meetings, and their order, as follows:—
New York, August 7–11.
Vermont, “ 14–18.
Maine, “ 21–25.
New England, Aug. 28 to Sept. 1.
Michigan, “ Sept. 4–8.
Ohio, “ 11–15.
Indiana, “ 18–22.
This is just about the same order as last year. If there are any special reasons in any Conference why this should be changed, let those interested send in to the REVIEW AND HERALD a statement of them immediately, and if consistent, a change can be made.
These meetings commence Thursday, and continue through Monday; and all should be sure to be on the ground the first day, and continue till they close, early Tuesday morning. So far as the places are concerned, where they will be held, we are only prepared to give them for New England and Maine. The former, at South Lancaster, and the latter, at Pishon's Ferry, near Skowhegan, the same as last year. Others should send them in at once.
GEN. CONF. COM.
Errata.
BRO. LITTLEJOHN requests the following changes in the reading of his article in the last paper:—
Page 2, first column, 54th line from bottom, for “fully unsound,” read “found to be unsound.”
Page 2, second column, 3d line from top, for “time on which they took place,” read “day on which,” &c.
Page 2, fourth column, 44th line from top, for “which is generally honored as such,” read “but none at all for the one which is generally,” &c.
Correction
CORRECTION.—Eld. Haskell writes to make a correction in his report of the Iowa T. and M. Society meeting. Instead of their having a capital of “five hundred dollars, enough to settle indebtedness on delinquency,” it should be, “five hundred dollars more than enough to settle,” etc. They raised altogether nearly $1000.
The Sabbath in the Pennsylvania Legislature.
By James White
It is, perhaps, generally known that the State of Pennsylvania is very arbitrary in its Sunday laws, allowing of no exemption, as do most of the other States, in favor of Sabbath-keepers. In the last session of the Legislature, a very interesting debate was had on the presentation of a bill to exempt the observers of the seventh day from the effects of the Sunday law. Two members, Messrs. Reynolds and Brown, made a noble defense of the rights of Sabbath-keepers. The Constitution of that State, as read in the debate, seems to forbid the existing law. Art. 2, reads thus:—
“SEC. 3. That all men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences; that no man can of right be compelled to attend, erect, or support, any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry against his consent; no human authority can, in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience; and no preference shall ever be given by law to any religious establishment or modes of worship.”
According to this, the present law of Pennsylvania is clearly unconstitutional, and it can only be by prejudice and bigotry that it is retained. The bill of relief was rejected by a vote of 58 to 23.
J. H. W.
SHORT, BUT POINTED.
The Battle Creek Daily Journal contains the following:—
“A Convention of spiritualists at Charlotte, yesterday, indorsed, by the casting vote of its chairman, ‘all the doctrines of Mrs. Woodhull, on the social relations.’ Mrs. Woodhull’s distinguishing sentiment is that she has ‘a right to change her husband every day.’”
In the same convention, D. W. Hull gave a lecture, the subject being, “The Devil Vindicated.” It would be curiously interesting to gather all that the spiritualists have said in favor of the devil; it would be impossible to collate all that they have said against God.
Another Drouth.
Some parts of the country are suffering for want of rain. The crops in Michigan will be injured more than in past dry seasons, the drouth coming earlier. Already news of disaster begins to come in. The following are from the Detroit Post of June 21:
LANSING, June 20, 10 P. M.
Large fires are raging in the woods about Lansing, and large parties of men are out fighting the flames in the hope of saving the crops in the fields that are in imminent danger of destruction.
MILWAUKEE, June 20.
Michigamme, Mich., was entirely destroyed by fire yesterday. Over two hundred houses were burned. The loss on property is immense. Eight lives were lost.
Elohim—A Query.
By James White
“Will you oblige me by giving your views on the word, Elohim, the word so many times rendered Lord God? As a certain lecturer is at present making capital out of it, I would like to see it answered. Please read it at the close of a lecture printed on the first page of the paper which I send you.”
“OLIVE E. McCORD.”
“In the Hebrew, Elohim, the word here rendered ‘Lord God,’ is plural, and translated literally should be rendered ‘the gods.’ But had the translators given it an honest rendering, it would have sounded very much like heathen mythology. Hence, with an ingenuity worthy of a better cause, they make a show of honesty by using two words, ‘Lord God,’ which conveys an idea of plurality, yet so obscured as not to be detected by the general reader. The root of Elohim is El, and means the sun. The termination, im, forms the plural, as cherub, one; cherubim, more than one; seraph, one; seraphim, more than one. The sun, moon, and planets were the gods and goddesses of the ancients. Our ‘Lord God’ has its root in the name of the sun. What does this mean? Will our clergy explain?”
“Portland, Oregon, Sep. 1, 1871.”
The above is a good illustration of the majority of infidel objections against the Bible.
1. The word, Elohim, is used in the plural form for majesty, and some other words in the Hebrew are used in the same manner. That it is singular in signification is proved by such passages as Ex. 20:2, “I am the Lord thy God;” Deut. 6:4, “The Lord thy God is one Lord;” and all places where a singular pronoun is used. And the verb “created,” in Gen. 1:1, is singular—he, not they, created. And so also the other verbs in the history of creation and elsewhere used with Elohim. This use of the plural for the singular as indicative of majesty or power is illustrated by the use of the plural pronoun “we,” by kings and governors; but of late it is so extensively appropriated that we lose sight of the original idea of the usage. And, it could not properly be translated “the gods,” as above stated, there being no article, either expressed or implied.
2. It is not translated “Lord God.” In Gen. 1, Elohim (God) is used only. In Gen. 2:4, Jehovah Elohim (Lord God) is used. Sometimes one is used; sometimes the other; and sometimes both together. But whether separately or together, they are thus translated: Elohim, God; Jehovah, Lord; and Jehovah Elohim, Lord God.
3. The Hebrew word, “El,” (Al, nearly as a long,) signifies “strong, mighty,” and is sometimes used in this form for God, who is the Strong, the Mighty One.
4. The Hebrew for sun is “shem-esh.” There is no relation between the roots of the two words. The explanation which “our clergy” would offer would doubtless be this, that the author of the above paragraph is “willingly ignorant” of the essential facts in the matters whereof he speaks.

“The Sabbath.”
By ALBERT PICK
“To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune:
“SIR: I was called upon to serve as a juror in the Justice Court of Henry A. Kaufman, Esq., in a certain case entitled ‘The City of Chicago vs. Herman Schmoll,’ for the violation of the Sunday and Liquor laws.
“I was duly sworn, heard the evidence given by the witnesses against, and for, the accused, and was satisfied that the prisoner had sold beer on Sunday. But, when the ordinary charges were made by the Court, the Corporation Counsel instructed the jury to find the prisoner according to law, if found guilty. I sent for the law-book containing the said ordinance, and found that the ‘keeping open of a tippling-house on Sabbath’ was prohibited therein. By the teaching and education which I received, and by the sacred words of the Holy Bible, the term ‘Sabbath’ applies to the seventh day of the week, not to the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday. The latter being the day on which the accused sold beer, how could I do otherwise but to find the prisoner ‘not guilty’?”
“ALBERT PICK.”
Emperor William Visits Russia
EMPEROR WILLIAM, of Germany, has gone to St. Petersburg, to visit the Emperor of Russia. The Russian invasion of Khiva, which is now bothering the British so much, will not bother them any less on account of the visit of the Emperor of Germany to the court of his imperial cousin of Russia, whether the visit has any political significance or not.
