  4. CARVING CHARACTER.—Did you ever watch a sculptor slowly fashioning a human countenance? It is not moulded at once. It is not struck out at a single blow. It is painfully and laboriously wrought. A thousand blows rough-cast it. Ten thousand chisel-points polish and perfect it, put in the fine touches, and bring out the features and expression. It is a work of time; but at last the full likeness comes out, and stands fixed and unchanging in the solid marble. So does a man carve out his own moral likeness. Every day he adds something to the work. A thousand acts of thought and will, and efforts, shape the features and expressions of the soul. Habits of love, piety, and truth, of falsehood, passion, or goodness, silently mould and fashion it, till at length it wears the likeness of God, or the image of a demon.1 paragraphs

  11. EFFECTS OF THE REBELLION IN CHINA.—2 paragraphs
  12. Childhood is like a mirror, catching and reflecting images from all around. Remember that an impious or profane thought uttered by a parent's lips, may operate upon the young heart like a careless spray of water, thrown upon polished steel, staining it with rust which no scouring can efface.1 paragraphs
  13. WE cannot remember a night so dark as to have hindered the approach of coming day, nor a storm so furious or dreadful as to prevent the return of warm sunshine and a cloudless sky.1 paragraphs

  15. Historical Department.Dudley Marvin Canright42 paragraphs
  16. BRETHREN TAKE CARE.H. C. Miller7 paragraphs
  17. HEART WORK.—We are not sent into the world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts. We have certain work to do for our bread, and that is to be done strenuously; other work to do for our delight, and that is to be done heartily. Neither is it to be done by halves and shifts, but with a will; and what is not worth the effort is not to be done at all.1 paragraphs

  26. RITUALISM IN ENGLAND.—Evidence brought out before a recent Commission of Inquiry shows that many Established churches are fast becoming almost indistinguishable from Romish churches. The vestments copy exactly the papal forms, these being regarded as the highest authority as to the usage of antiquity. In many parishes, confessionals are established and penances imposed. Thus a young lady of eighteen in Brighton, for sins of temper, was made to kneel on a marble slab for four hours at night, on bare knees, repeating penitential psalms and prayers. These confessionals are in some respects more objectionable than the Romish, being located in less public places—in vestries and quiet chapels, secluded from observation.1 paragraphs

  30. THE FLOOD OF CRIME.M. W. HOWARD.6 paragraphs
  31. NOTE. Paul shows in Rom. iii, 19, that all mankind, whatever may be their nationality or religion, are amenable to the law of God, the ten commandments. So that the fourth commandment is a text by which all individually and collectively are, and ever have been, commanded to keep the Sabbath.—ED.Editor1 paragraphs

  33. From Bro. Cottrell.Wm. Cottrell6 paragraphs
  34. SISTER E. EATON writes from Watertown: When reading your testimonies through the paper, I have often felt as though I would like to add mine, and say a few words of the goodness of our Lord, and what he has done for me. Is there not room for all to write who can? and is it not our privilege and also our duty to speak often to each other? How should we lone ones hear from those of like precious faith if they did not write for the paper? I lived in Fond du Lac a year. When I first went there, I thought I was all alone. I sat down and wrote a letter for the Review, and by so doing found out another family living there who were Sabbath-keepers. I found them firm in all they understood of the truth. I lent them the book, How to Live, some Health Reformers, and gave them some other books. May the Lord bless them and lead them into all truth, is my prayer. I also found one French woman who was a Sabbath-keeper. Others, also, had been, but gave up the Sabbath on account of pay for their labor. But one man said he must keep the Sabbath, and should get some land, that he might keep the Sabbath of the Lord our God. May the Lord help him to do so. I believe there will yet be a people in Fond du Lac keeping the commandments of God, and waiting for the Lord’s coming.Sister E. Eaton1 paragraphs
  35. BE MASTER.—It is not by regretting what is irreparable that true work is to be done, but by making the best of what we are. It is not by complaining that we have not the right tools, but by using well the tools we have. Where we are, and what we are, is God's providential arrangement; and the wise and manly way is to look our disadvantages in the face, and see what can be made of them. Life, like war, is a series of mistakes, and he is not the best Christian nor the best general who makes the fewest of false steps. Poor mediocrity may do that; but he is the best who wins the most splendid victories by the retrieval of mistakes. Forget mistakes; organize victory out of mistakes.1 paragraphs

  44. “WE do a thing—which of us has not?—not because “everybody does it,” but because we like it, and our acquiescence, alas! proves not that everybody is right, but that we and the rest of the world are poor creatures alike. —Thackeray.1 paragraphs

  51. We are happy to give this week the article from Bro. R. F. Cottrell, entitled, Convalescent. The office and the brethren everywhere have sadly missed his communications during his protracted illness. May he speedily regain more than his usual degree of health, and thus be in a position to resume his former activity with voice and pen.Editor1 paragraphs
  52. BEAUTIFUL!—One of the claims of the “Harmonial Philosophy,” or modern Spiritualism, is that it has a refining, elevating influence upon humanity, and that its utterances are of a lofty and soul-inspiring character. This is said especially of the communications purporting to come from the spirit world.W. C. G.4 paragraphs
  53. BEAUTIFUL AND USEFUL.—The Association has just printed, and now offers for sale, some very nice "Second Advent Cards." There are fourteen different kinds, printed in two colors, on extra nice, white enameled cards, 2½x4 inches in size, with an ornamental border containing four scripture mottoes. In the center is a verse of poetry from some sweet refrain on the advent, and a text of scripture about the end. Also one neat card illustrating the third angel's message. Good for presentation cards, or for the Sabbath School. They are neatly done up in a printed wrapper, and will be mailed to any address for 20 cents.J. M. A.2 paragraphs

  55. A poor toper, as a last resort for more drink, took his Bible to pawn for liquor, but the landlady refused to take it. “Well,” said he, “if she won’t take my word or God’s Word, it’s time to give up.” And he went and signed the pledge, and kept it faithfully.1 paragraphs

  57. Meetings in New Portland, Me.Dudley Marvin Canright5 paragraphs
  58. Notice.Joseph G. Wood9 paragraphs
  59. “God has set up his Sabbath on earth as a signal of his royal presence, and there is no truer test of loyalty than the kind of regard that is paid to this sacred emblem. The law of the Sabbath, more than any other, puts men to the proof whether they will keep God’s commandments or no.”1 paragraphs
