BEWARE OF IMPOSTERS.

Unfortunately, even the faith professed by S. D. Adventists, involving many articles of belief which are very unpopular, and a practice in reference to the Sabbath which is oftentimes inconvenient and the occasion of pecuniary loss, is not sufficient to keep unworthy persons altogether from our ranks. Hence our people should use great caution in their dealings with strangers, though they may profess ever so loudly to be worthy Sabbath-keepers.

Two warnings have been received within a few weeks at this office, designed to guard our brethren against imposition. One is concerning a person by the name of I. S. Sherwin, who is traveling in the State of New York, peddling a poisonous book, making his pretense of religion a passport to gain access to our people. Beware of him. Particulars will be given to all who wish, by Austin P. Ackerman, Gouverneur, N. Y.

The other is concerning A. N. Fisher, of Tuscola, Mich., who is reported to be utterly unworthy of confidence or sympathy. We learn that he also intends to visit the State of New York. Particulars may be had by addressing R. B. Delap, Chesaning, Mich.
