  13. —A laundress who was employed in the family of a distinguished United States Senator, said to him with a sigh: “Only think, sir, how little money would make me happy.” “How little, madam?” said the old gentleman. “O! dear sir, $100 would make me perfectly happy.” “If that is all, you shall have it,” and he immediately gave it to her.

  36. SISTER P. A. CORNELL, Kent Co., Mich., writes: I have read “Thoughts on the Revelation.” I found in it my wish for a “Synopsis of Present Truth” gratified. It is truly worthy the careful perusal of every candid reader of the Bible; and were it possible, I would gladly put it into the hands of many of my friends. I would that every lover of truth possessed one.8 paragraphs

  38. SPEAK in commendation of every one who is true to truth, even though he be an adversary and hate thee.1 paragraphs
  39. Too many persons seem to use their religion as a diver does his bell, to venture down into the depths of worldliness with safety, and there grope for pearls with just so much of heaven's air as will keep them from suffocating and no more; and some, alas! as at times is the case with divers, are suffocated in the experiment.1 paragraphs
  40. FREQUENT and fierce is the Devil in his attacks on all sides besieging our salvation. We therefore must watch and be sober, and everywhere fortify ourselves against his assaults; for if he gain some slight advantage, he goes on to make for himself a broad passage, and by degrees introduces all his forces.—Chrysostom.1 paragraphs
  41. A good comment on the fact that in the closing up of the last message of mercy, the Lord will perform a speedy work and cut it short in righteousness, is found in the following which we clip from an exchange:2 paragraphs

  46. MISREPRESENTATION.—An old elder once said to a young preacher, “I am afraid you do not perform your whole duty, for everybody speaks well of you.” It startled the preacher; he was afraid the text, “Woe unto you when all men speak well of you,” would apply to him. Suffice it to say, it was only a few months until the dogs of Satan were barking at his heels.1 paragraphs

  59. MELANCTHON.—When Melancthon was entreated by his friends to lay aside the natural anxiety and timidity of his temper, he replied, “If I had no anxieties, I should lose a powerful incentive to prayer; but when the cares of life impel to devotion, the best means of consolation, a religious mind can not do without them. Thus trouble compels me to prayer, and prayer drives away trouble.”1 paragraphs

  61. Business Department.25 paragraphs
  62. The thoughtful reader of the Bible, as he has perused the account of the immense number of sacrifices offered in connection with the temple service in Jerusalem, has doubtless often queried respecting the manner in which the blood, ashes, and other accumulations from so many offerings, could be disposed of. This point is explained in the interesting article on Jerusalem concluded in this number in the Historical Department.1 paragraphs
  63. A. R. KELSEY. As to who are adopting the dress reform, see reports in Review. Judging from these, it would seem that its adoption is becoming quite general. There are some who will not admit that persons of standing in society and “refined sensibility” can be found in the ranks of Seventh-day Adventists at all. If your friends think otherwise, they may know that some such, at least, are adopting this improvement in dress.A. R. KELSEY1 paragraphs
  64. SPECIMEN REVIEWS. We are happy to say that we have seen good results from the specimen copies of the Review which we have lately mailed to persons whose names have been forwarded to us by our brethren. We have sold quite a large amount of books, and obtained a good number of subscribers through the agency of these specimen copies. We therefore now ask our brethren again to send us a liberal list of names and post office addresses of such persons as they would like to see benefited by the reading of our publications. Cannot our preaching brethren use some of these Reviews to good advantage? If so they will please order. Send along the names. J. M. A.Editor1 paragraphs
