The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald
By Editor
☞ "The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald.—The office of publication of this periodical has recently been removed from Rochester, N. Y., to this place, and the first number issued here has been received. It is published by a Committee for the Church, and devoted to an explanation and vindication of the religious opinions of the "Seventh-day Baptists," quite a number of whom reside in our midst. It is well edited, we should judge, by URIAH SMITH, assisted by several assistant Corresponding Editors, and to those who have a taste for religious controversy, the Herald will doubtless be a welcome weekly visitor. It is neatly printed, and furnished to subscribers at $2 per annum, or $1 for twenty-six numbers, which constitute a volume." The above impartial mention of the REVIEW AND HERALD we copy from the Battle Creek Journal, published in this place by WALTER W. WOOLNOUGH, Editor and Proprietor. Very many of the religious as well as secular papers of the day, are ready to denounce men or journals who stand forth in defense of what they regard as sacred truth, if their views happen to conflict with their own, or to be, in the eyes of the world, unpopular; and some of them do this with such a zeal as to give the lie to all their claims of being gentlemen. We are happy therefore to acknowledge anything like the above which evinces an honorable freedom from sectarian bigotry and prejudice. A word of explanation may be necessary as regards applying to us the term "Seventh-day Baptists." We are not those who are usually denominated, Seventh-day Baptists. True, we keep the seventh day, and are Baptists, and so far we may with propriety be called such; but our views differ from those of that denomination in some particulars: principally in the belief that we are now in the closing scenes of the present dispensation. The organ of the Seventh-day Baptists, is the Sabbath Recorder, published at 9, Spruce St., New York.
