Correction Regarding School Board
CORRECTION. Bro. Jones informs us that the statement made in last week's Review, in reference to himself and the school board of this city, is not correct. His figures were lower than those of any others employed by the board to figure on the building.
The Second Angel’s Message and Rome
The World's Crisis will be obliged to modify its views of the second angel's message as applying at the present time to the city of Rome. In our issue of Jan. 29, we called attention to the fact that the Crisis found a fulfillment of the message, “Babylon is fallen, come out of her my people,” in the fact that foreigners were leaving Rome for fear of civil disorder. But W. W. Paton, D. D. writing to the Independent from that city, Jan. 14, 1867, states that no revolutionary attempt was made, owing probably to the pacific counsels of the Italian government; and that “now Rome overflows with tourists, among whom Americans predominate.” So the Crisis must look for some other “second angel” by whom the “Lord's people,” shall be called out of Rome.
The Christian’s Improved Format
The Christian, by H. L. Hastings, comes to us this week reduced in size, but improved in form. It now appears as a quarto of eight pages, about the size and shape in which the Advent Herald was formerly published. This is an improvement over the large folio form, which is not so neat in appearance, nor convenient to handle while reading, and is almost beyond reach of preservation by being bound.
Tea, Liquor, and Continued Illness
By Roswell F. Cottrell
It has been observed that those who use tea to cure the headache, always have a headache to cure. If they “occasionally” use it for their “often infirmities,” their infirmities will be no less often. A liquor drinker once said, he always liked to have a little liquor in the house, so as to take a little when he did not feel very well; and, “in fact” said he, “I never do feel very well as long as it lasts.” R. F. C.
We Like the Plan.
By J. M. A.
BRO. WM. LAWTON of West Winfield, N. Y., after saying that he was pleased to read the call for one thousand shares for the Health Institute, says further that he should be pleased to read a call for one thousand brethren and sisters to take an extra copy each, of the Review, and find persons to read the same. He thinks this would be a good work, and says if we like the plan, we may enter his name for an extra copy.
We are happy to inform Bro. Lawton that “we like the plan,” and accordingly place his name on our list for the extra copy.
And we say to our brethren, here is a good chance to do a good work. All who wish to join with Bro. Lawton in thus circulating the Review, can have extra copies for such purpose at $2.00 per year. J. M. A.
“Waiting for Strength.”
By R. F. COTTRELL
IN reading the communications in a recent Review, I was struck with these words: “Five have come out and embraced the Sabbath of the Lord. A number more say they are convinced that they ought to keep it but are waiting for more strength.” What a thought! Continue in disobedience, to gain strength! Is not this the way to lose strength? They that wait on the Lord renew their strength. When convinced of duty, to delay is to lose strength, and make obedience more difficult. Better follow the example of David. “I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.” Let all who wish to gain strength do likewise. R. F. COTTRELL.
Note from Bro. Cornell.
By M. E. Cornell
We can report a good prospect here in Lapeer. The new brick meeting-house is well filled with attentive listeners, and the interest is increasing every day. The church, generally, are encouraged and hopeful of better days for the cause here. As soon as I can leave this work, I expect to go to Midland County, where there are loud calls for lectures in several places. I cannot occupy half the openings before me this winter. May the Lord of the harvest grant wisdom in deciding which way to go first. Brethren pray for us.
M. E. CORNELL.
Lapeer, Mich., Feb. 14, 1867.
