William Miller.

By Phebe A. Miner

THE valuable and interesting extracts from the life of Mr. Miller, which have appeared from week to week in our excellent paper, have no doubt been much appreciated by all of our people who were witnesses of his work in 1844, and who were especially sharers with him in the bitter disappointment which he experienced when the time passed, leaving them, instead of meeting their coming Lord, to pass through a flood of slander and abuse such as none can so well understand as those who bore that load of contumely and reproach.

As for myself, I have been very grateful for the privilege of reading these extracts, as I have always wished to know more of this good man, whose name, from my childhood, has been as familiar to me as household words. My home, until now, has always been within three miles of Mr. Miller’s pleasant home and the little Advent chapel at Low Hampton. And often, in my childhood, did myself and brother attend the Sunday-school there, in preference to our own at the white church. Our own church members would try to persuade us not to go; but to us, it seemed better to sit in the humble church whose walls had echoed, in by-gone days, to the earnest tread and tones of Mr. Miller as he preached a coming Jesus. We listened eagerly to whatever was said concerning him, although it was but little.

I well remember the remarks of a sister on one occasion. It was apparent to all that death had laid his mark upon her, and was soon to lock her in his prison-house; but she was one of those who had their lamps trimmed and burning in ’44; and although her brethren and sisters had suffered their faith to lag, yet she had fully learned the meaning of that prophecy of Habakkuk 2:3, “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” She exhorted them, with tears, to prepare for Jesus’ coming. Although she might sleep in the grave, the time would not be long, even to the living. She pointed, with her finger, in the direction of father Miller’s grave, and said, with trembling voice, that “although the wrath of men and the rage of demons had been stirred against his work, yet his enemies should see him who ‘sowed in tears’ return with joy, ‘bringing his sheaves with him.’” Her remarks made an impression on my mind that can never be effaced, and laid the foundation for a better experience.

The little chapel has been remodeled so as to present a more pleasing appearance. Congregations flock there to hear the first-day Adventist preachers—Mr. Grant, occasionally, I believe, and others. Would that they might see the binding force of the fourth commandment, which shines so clearly from the word of God. Oh! if all who believe Jesus is soon coming could be convinced of the perpetuity of the great law of Jehovah, and make it a part of their faith and practice, what a bold front would then be presented to the world; and the name of Adventist would not have so many different rings and labels. But let us who profess to be looking for the Lord, and also to be keeping his Father’s down-trodden law, seek to be consistent with our faith.

HOLD ON, MY HEART.

Hold on, my heart, in thy believing; The steadfast only wears the crown. He who, when stormy waves are heaving, Parts with his anchor, shall go down; But he who Jesus holds, through all Shall stand, though heaven and earth shall fall.

Hold in thy murmurs, heaven arraigning, The patient, see God's loving face; Who bear their burdens uncomplaining, 'Tis they who win the Father's grace. He wounds himself, who braves the rod, And sets himself to fight with God.

Hold out! There comes an end to sorrow; Hope from the dust shall conquering rise; The storm proclaims a summer morrow; The cross points on to paradise. The Father reigneth; cease all doubt; Hold on, my heart, hold in, hold out!

A Forgery.

By M. E. Cornell

The following letter I copy from a printed handbill, 10x12 inches in size. This sheet was sold by an Episcopalian man for $1.00 per copy. The sheet claims to be copyrighted (?), and it is supposed that the man made thousands of dollars selling this paper to the ignorant and unsuspecting. The expressions, “Good Friday,” “Holy Sacraments,” “Five bloody wounds,” &c., show it to be a Catholic document, gotten up to supply the lack of Scriptural authority for Sunday-keeping. Many such forgeries have been circulated to awe the people into the regarding of human traditions as sacred requirements of the Lord. No divine institution ever needed any such nonsensical pretense to enforce its claims. The story of the engraved stone, turned over by a little child, &c., sounds much like the pretension of Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet, of finding plates in Palmyra hill, N. Y., engraved in an unknown language, and interpreted by a special revelation to him. The whole thing is undignified and absurd, when compared with the pure word of God. How strange that thousands have been more ready to believe a forgery than to credit the truth in its purity! The Bible warns us against such deception, and there is no excuse.

“What is the chaff, the word of man, When set against the wheat?”

Questions of Faith, Grace, and Longing for Christ

READER, do you in Jesus Christ believe? Do you into your heart his word receive? Are you renewed and sanctified by grace? And are you longing to behold his face?

Estimating the Value of Things Before God

RIGHTLY to estimate the value of anything, is to view it in connection with God, his glory, and eternity.

Appointments.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Division of the Decalogue.

By J. H. W.

Since writing the note recently published in the Review on the division of the commandments, I have seen the following reasons given by a correspondent for the order adopted by the Catholics and Lutherans:—

“There is a grammatical difficulty in dividing the commandment on idolatry into two. The latter part says, ‘Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.’ To what does this plural pronoun them refer? Surely not to ‘any graven image,’ for that is the singular number. It must refer to ‘other gods.’”

The difficulty would be real if “graven image” were the only antecedent of the pronoun them; but it is not. To half state a truth is to mis-state it. The antecedents of them are graven or carved image, and likeness. There is a distinction recognized here, for a likeness may be a picture, appearance, or any representation without being a graven image. Were a singular pronoun used it would be a query to which it referred, but as it now is, it refers to both. Again he says:—

“In the repetition of the commandments in Deuteronomy, two distinct words are used in specifying the sin of covetousness, the one signifying to desire with lust, the other, to covet with greed.”

The difference between the two words in Deut. 5, is not strong enough to justify the claim. In some of their definitions they are alike. Both are used in Gen. 3:6—the tree of knowledge was pleasant and to be desired. Here the lowest idea of lust is not admissible; nor is it in Micah 2:2, “they covet [lust after] fields;” Deut. 7:25, “thou shalt not desire [lust after] the silver;” and so in Josh. 7:21; Achan coveted (lusted) the wedge of gold.

But a still more decisive fact is this, that in the original copy of the decalogue, Ex. 20, the same word is twice used. “Thou shalt not covet [hamad] thy neighbor’s wife; thou shalt not covet [hamad] thy neighbor’s house.” The reasons urged by this correspondent are clearly insufficient.

The Statesman Articles in Tract.

The articles of Bro. Littlejohn, published in the Christian Statesman, have been printed in a tract of 80 pages, which is now ready for orders. Price, 10 cts.

The contents of this tract will form the first part of a larger work, containing also the replies of the editor of the Statesman and Bro. Littlejohn’s rejoinders, which will soon be issued.

District No. 8, Wisconsin: Tract Society Meeting Date Query

District No. 8, Wisconsin.

We published last week an appointment for a Tract and Missionary Society meeting, at Marquette, in the above district for June 12 and 13, which was the date sent in by the Director. But we think it must be a mistake. However, we have no means of determining, as the appointment may have been delayed and come to us out of season. We call attention to it, that those interested may understand it.

The Camp-Meetings.

By John Nevins Andrews

THESE are, to us, a most important means of grace. They are opportunities in which we may lay aside our ordinary business, and our worldly cares, and give ourselves wholly to the work of seeking God. We have at these meetings the help of those whose testimony in sacred things is most highly esteemed by us. We also meet many of like precious faith, with whom we may unite in earnest prayer for the blessing of Heaven. And here, also, we may be instructed in our duty toward God, and receive the gracious influence of his Spirit. Experience has shown that the camp-meetings afford most precious opportunities in which to seek God for ourselves, and in which, also, to lead our unconverted friends to Christ. We cannot afford to lose these precious privileges. Our worldly concerns are not of sufficient consequence to deprive us of such opportunities for good. The camp-meeting season is already considerably advanced. The reports show that the Lord is still gracious to his people. The Eastern Camp-meetings are all yet to come. In these meetings, we shall miss the services of those who bear the greatest responsibilities in this sacred work, but we shall not find it in vain to take much pains to attend them, if we do truly seek God.

But valuable as are these privileges, unless we are careful they will be wholly lost to us. Satan will find some plausible excuse for us to remain at home; or, he will render us careless, or light, or vain, or fault-finding, or something else, just adapted to our ruin, and so, in one way or another, he will defraud us of the precious blessing of Heaven.

But there are some things which we may do to guard against the snares of Satan. Let us make all our calculations with reference to attending. Let us go, to remain till the meeting closes, even though it be protracted beyond our expectation. And, especially, let us commence now to seek God. This is the main point. Now is the time to put away our worldly-mindedness. And the way to do this is to begin to sacrifice of our means for God. With his blessing, this will prove a sure remedy. Now is the time to put away, and that forever, the spirit of lightness and vanity. Let us, like the psalmist, enter into the sanctuary of God and see the end of the wicked. Let us consider those scriptures which set forth the day of Judgment, and that speak of the strictness of our account. This solemn lesson must be kept always in our minds. As to the spirit of murmuring and fault-finding, nothing but the most complete conversion can cure this. Let us realize how great a work this is, and how necessary it is that it should be wrought.

For once, let us come up to camp-meeting with the best possible preparation on the part of each one. If we have any difficulties, let us settle them now. This is easy when we have the heart to do it. And let us realize that this may be our last privilege of this kind. Let us take with us our unconverted, or partially converted, children and friends. And let us make the salvation of these persons a special object of our personal efforts. The meetings after first-day are the best of all for helping this class if we will only secure them. The whole influence of the previous meetings can then be specially brought to bear to help these persons. It is frequently the best time to gather in a harvest of souls. But many times it is thrown away by the breaking up of the meeting. Shall we not learn by experience? J. N. A.

Question Answered.

By James White

“I AM ASKED, How was the jailer and his family baptized? Please answer in the REVIEW.”

We see nothing in this case which calls for special examination. Whatever settles the question of baptism in general, answers this question. The word baptize means immerse; and therefore we should say without hesitation, they were immersed. There is nothing in the text to determine either way beyond the definition of the word. But we are not left to infer the manner, because it is indeterminate, as the indefinite texts are explained by the definite. Those texts which speak of baptism as a burial are decisive as to the form, and they harmonize with the definition of the term; this being the case, we see no room for doubt on this subject. J. H. W.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE

The new postal regulations in regard to newspapers, periodicals, etc., go into effect on the 1st of July. These regulations provide that all newspapers, periodicals, etc., sent by mail must be prepaid by stamps, unless “regularly issued and sent to regular subscribers” by publishers or news-dealers, when the following rates per quarter are charged, payable in advance, either at the mailing or delivery office:

Dailies................................................35 cents. Six times a week........................................30 cents. Tri weekly..............................................15 cents. Semi weekly.............................................10 cents. Weeklies.................................................5 cents. Semi-monthly, not over 4 ozs.............................6 cents. Monthlies, not over 4 ozs................................3 cents. Quarterlies, not over 4 ozs..............................1 cent.

Newspapers and circulars dropped into the office for local delivery must be prepaid at the rate of one cent for two ounces, and an additional rate for every additional two ounces or fraction thereof; and periodicals weighing more than two ounces are subject to two cents, prepaid at the letter-carrier offices. The postage on regular papers, etc., must be paid in advance, either at the place of delivery, to the carrier, or at the office, otherwise they will be chargeable at transient rates.

Dr. Cumming's Remark on the Papal Blessing

Dr. Cumming of London, says: If the Pope should offer him the papal blessing, he would ask his Holiness to invert it and give him the papal curse, hot and heavy, instead. This is a severe comment upon the remarkable blessing that has attended the pope’s curses for a long time past. He does not have the wisdom even of Balaam, but goes on hurling his anathemas, right and left, as if they could do any one any possible harm. The king of Italy appears to thrive under them, and so do many others.
