An Important Book.

By W. C. G.

THE Association has just issued a work, entitled “A Solemn Appeal relative to Solitary Vice, and the Abuses and Excesses of the Marriage Relation,” compiled and edited by Bro. White. The evils which this book so faithfully points out, are the crying sins of the age, and are fast bringing our race to a level with the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah. Medical men everywhere bear testimony to the fearful prevalence of licentiousness among all classes, old and young, high and low, while the sickening details of crimes of this character, are to be found in every issue of our public journals. The importance of a judicious and general circulation of works of this description cannot therefore be overestimated.

We have no hesitancy in pronouncing this work the best of its class we have ever seen. While it faithfully points out the awful results of licentiousness in all its forms, and gives the testimony of eminent physicians on the subject, there is breathed through its pages a spirit of Christian tenderness for the erring, and an earnest desire to render them timely aid ere it shall be forever too late. Its faithful and solemn exhortations, although couched in chaste language, are sufficient to stir the pools of iniquity to their very depths, and rouse the latent spark of manhood and womanhood into life and activity, until, by the help of God, the fetters of sin shall be shaken off, and the victims of indiscretion and ignorance become free men and women, and useful members of society.

A portion of the work is devoted to the hygienic treatment of the diseases and weaknesses which are rendered so prominent in its pages. If these directions are faithfully carried out, the greater portion of these difficulties may be partially or entirely remedied.

A large edition of the book has been published, and we bespeak for it a wide circulation. It should be in the hands of every young man and woman in the land. The married should read and heed its counsels, and the innocent and virtuous should be placed on their guard against the evils to which they are liable. In short, all classes, old or young, married or single, may find instruction and profit from a careful perusal of its pages. Let the philanthropic engage in its circulation and distribution among the afflicted everywhere. Let parents and guardians see that those under their charge are faithfully warned, lest their blood be found in their garments.

The book comprises 272 pages, and is issued in pamphlet form, at 30 cts., postage 4 cts.; in muslin, at 50 cts., postage 8 cts. W. C. G.

The Present Number

By Editor

THE PRESENT NUMBER.— We give our readers this week, a double number of the REVIEW. Our immediate object in doing it is, that we may publish several lengthy articles which we have not room for in the REVIEW when issued only its usual size. We are sure that this week's paper will be read with much interest. Bro. White furnishes an excellent sermon on Daniel 8:13, 14. Elds. Wardner and Cottrell speak ably for, and against, the immortality, or rather immateriality, of man. The article on ascension robes will be read with interest. The lengthy article copied from the Advent-Christian Times, the organ of the western first-day Adventists, published at Buchanan, Mich., will also be found of general interest as a reply to personal assaults. The article entitled “Remarkable Events” is one of extraordinary interest to all thoughtful persons. On the whole, we trust the present number will be very acceptable to the readers of the REVIEW.

A. O. Burrill’s New Address

The P. O. address of A. O. Burrill, till further notice, will be Yellow Springs, Green Co., Ohio.

Appointment Deferred to February 26
