MANY of us, after all the light we have, but partially (if at all) have entered its practice. It is true we have left some things, but who among us does not eat too much of even plain food? It is a delicate subject, and difficult to be corrected. If reproof is needed, those who do not eat enough (if there are any) will apply it to themselves, and will eat less; while those who do, will think it is applicable, but not to them, surely. If gluttony is indulged in, it must be at the expense of intellect and spirituality. Large eaters are rarely close thinkers.
God's people are prone to backsliding. How easy to relapse into the same error we supposed to have been corrected. We cease to watch the gap, and the enemy again enters. The sacrifice that was smoking on the altar, ceases, and we again find ourselves on the enemy's ground. So weak is human nature, and slow to learn from the things we have suffered; especially is this true of the appetite. I have sometimes thought it is one of the most potent means of the enemy to destroy God's people. Our judgment, from past experience, should be our guide. If Paul died daily, so must we. There is no time now for looking back to Egypt, and sighing for the flesh-pots. Eternal life is worth the sacrifice. May the Lord help us to pay the price. A. P. LAWTON.

“Every Day Holy.”
By W. C. G.
AMONG the multifarious excuses which people urge for not keeping the Lord’s Sabbath, we often hear the plea, especially from no-Sabbath Adventists, that they “Keep every day holy.” The same kind of argument is used by Sunday-keepers to defend their practice. They say that Sunday is the Sabbath because they “keep it holy,” which they claim is all that constitutes any day the Sabbath.
The fallacy of such reasoning will be apparent from a moment’s consideration. Man cannot keep a day holy unless it is first made holy. The commandment does not say, “Remember the Sabbath day to make it holy;” but, “keep it holy;” implying that we are simply to keep it in a condition in which it has been placed by an authority higher than that of man.
The same reasoning applies to all other secular days. We cannot keep every day holy unless God has made every day holy; and this we know he has not done, for the record tells us that he blessed and hallowed the seventh day; and concerning no other of the seven is this distinction made.
There is a manifest difference between keeping a day holy and keeping one’s self holy. A godly man may with perfect propriety, declare his purpose of keeping himself holy every day, but to keep every day holy is quite another thing.
We often hear it stated in argument that man cannot make a Sabbath; and that were all the world to keep Sunday holy it would not make it the Sabbath. But we propose to go further than this, and assert that all the world cannot keep Sunday holy, because God has never made it holy.
The only way to keep the Sabbath holy is by holy rest. And although a man may lead a holy life every day, and commit no act which is sinful in itself, yet he can never “keep every day holy.”
W. C. G.
The Power of a Smile
NOTHING on earth can smile like human beings. Gems may flash reflected light, but what is a diamond flash and mirth flash? A face that cannot smile is like a bud that cannot blossom, and dies upon the stalk. Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; and a smile is the twilight that hovers between them both, and more bewitching than either.
The Duty to Serve Others
WHILE there is much misery and sin in the world, a man has no right to lull himself to sleep in a paradise of self-improvement and self-enjoyment, in which there is but one supreme Adam, one perfect specimen of humanity, namely, himself. He ought to go out and work—fight, if it must be, wherever duty calls him.
What God Do you Worship?
By WM. PEPPER.
Says the word of God, “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Mankind, from the earliest ages to the present time, has been more or less imbued with an idolatrous spirit. As it was with the Israelites when Moses delayed to come down from the mount, it was not long before they conceived the idea of making to themselves a god, one after their own depraved ideas. But how many there are, even in our own generation, who blame the Israelites for their wickedness and folly, yet like them, they will worship the golden calf. “Covetousness is idolatry. The love of money is the root of all evil.”
The worship of graven images is not alone the breaking of the first commandment. We may not be so degraded as to worship heathen images or popish crucifixes; but let us remember that “there may be idols in the heart, when there are none in the sanctuary.”
One may idolize a child, a brother, a sister, a father, or a mother; but says the Lord Jesus, “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” If we would be true followers of the Lord, we must surrender to him our whole and undivided affections.
But there is one idol of which I would now speak, it is that of appetite. Says the apostle Paul, “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.” Those persons of whom Paul speaks, in all probability, were professors of Christianity; yet, we see the God that they worshiped and cherished in their hearts was their own sensual appetites.
Especially in these days of human depravity is this failing most prominent. Instead of inquiring of the Lord what it is he would have us to do, the great cry is, What shall we eat, and what shall we drink? &c., &c.
The fall of man was brought about by an appeal to the appetite. Shall we not fear and take warning lest we ourselves be overcome in the vain effort to satisfy a craving appetite? In the beginning, God expressly stated what man should use for food; but alas! how far man has departed from that rule.
There are many who are willing to believe and accept the claims of the Sabbath and many other kindred doctrines; but let the health reform be presented and they recoil as if struck in a vital spot. For instance, let such an one be told of the hurtfulness of eating swine’s flesh, and he is ever ready with an excuse, to justify himself.
Oh! then, let us who profess to be watching and waiting for the Lord’s speedy return cut loose from every idol, and from the sin which doth so easily beset; that we may present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, June 2, 1872, in O’Brien Co., Iowa, of dropsy and heart disease, Joanna Luce, aged 14 years and 8 months. We have every reason to believe that she sleeps in Jesus. She was a member of the Sabbath-school at Sandyville, Iowa, and we would express our sincere thanks to the Sandyville church and Sabbath-school teachers especially, for their very kind and constant attention and abundant religious instruction during her long and painful sickness. A great blessing is promised to those who visit the sick and afflicted. We believe the Sandyville church are worthy of this blessing. A. LUCE.

Vermont Camp-Meeting.
By Lewis Bean; H. N. Austin; H. W. Barrows
AFTER a careful examination of all the openings worthy of attention, the Camp-meeting Committee decide that the best place for our meeting this year is at Richmond, Va., near the village, about one mile from Richmond station, on the same ground that we occupied a year ago. The urgent request to have the meeting there by the new friends of the cause where tent labors were bestowed last year, was especially what led to this decision.
We earnestly desire the labors of Bro. and sister White, and Bro. Geo. I. Butler, and we trust not to be disappointed. We invite our brethren from all parts of our Conference, and those from other Conferences, who can do so, to attend this meeting.
An effort will be made to have passengers coming by rail-way returned free, as in the past. Bring tents. We should have not less than thirty tents besides the large tent. Every family that is able, should have one to accommodate themselves and as many of their friends as they can induce to come to the meeting. Yet none should stay away because they cannot bring a tent, for such can have a place in the large tent. Come with your bedding, prepared to take care of yourselves. There will be a provision stand on the ground.
Brethren, come to this “feast of tabernacles” prepared to work for the Lord. Let us begin now to prepare our hearts to seek God. Our meeting will be held Aug. 14-19, according to appointment of General Conference Committee.

Vermont State Conference.
The Vermont State Conference will hold its next annual session at Richmond, Vt., in connection with the Vermont Camp-meeting, Aug. 14-19. We hope all will try to be on the ground at the commencement of the meeting and stay till it is closed. All the churches and unorganized companies within the limits of this Conference are invited to send delegates, and to report their standing as required by the constitution of the Conference. Systematic Benevolence should be paid up to July 1, 1872. Brethren and sisters, let us not do the work of the Lord negligently.

The above is the best arrangement that the committee could make, as a whole. It is quite likely some may be disappointed in not having their camp-meeting when they would most desire it. Should there be any special circumstances standing in the way of holding any one of these meetings at the given time, those interested can correspond with the committee immediately. But unless of much importance, it is best that they stand as they are.
Let all the camp-meeting committees give the place at once through the Review.

Bro. Haskell writes that the time given last week for the N. E. Camp-meeting, Aug. 21-26, is the time when another camp-meeting is to be held only four miles from So. Lancaster, Mass., the place of the N. E. Camp-meeting. And having written to Maine and learned that they would just as soon commence their meeting Aug. 21 as Aug. 28, he has taken the liberty to transpose the dates, putting the Maine camp-meeting Aug. 21-26, and the New England meeting, at So. Lancaster, Aug. 28 to Sept. 2.
Brother Adhemar Vuilleumier Arrives
Bro. Adhemar Vuilleumier, from Switzerland, arrived safe in Battle Creek, June 25, having been fourteen days on the ocean. His brother, who was intending to accompany him, was prevented by sickness from so doing. With the appearance and spirit of this brother, we are well pleased. He takes hold with interest in the school, giving good promise of making rapid advancement in learning our language, preparatory to other studies. The brethren everywhere will remember him in their prayers, that the object for which he has come among us, to learn our language and become more fully acquainted with the truth, may be successfully accomplished.
A Japanese Sermon
The reader will be interested in the Japanese sermon in this number, at least as a matter of curiosity to see what kind of instruction is given by the teachers among that ancient people. And he will see that human nature is the same the world over, and that the same evils exist to be declaimed against among the most ancient, as among the more modern nations.

News and Miscellany.
“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.—Mrs. Loomis, from the East, lectured last night in Platt’s Hall, against woman suffrage, and was interrupted, hissed and jeered, by the leading female suffragists present. The Hon. David Meeker demanded that the disgraceful conduct cease, or the women would be compelled to leave the hall, for which Mrs. Emily Pitts Stevens, editress of the Pioneer, the suffragist organ, drew a pistol on him, demanding an apology, but was compelled to put it in her pocket by the bystanders.
LABOR STRIKE IN LONDON.—New York, June 25.—A London dispatch states that the lock-out of builders, carpenters, and joiners, is the result of the refusal of the men to accept the compromise offered by the employers. Twenty thousand are out of work, and they have been joined by the masons and bricklayers. The men demand 51 hours instead of 56½ hours per week, and also 1s per day pay additional. The employers state that the demand does not justify the advance. The men state that the reason of the present strike is the increased expense of living, and do not fear any interference from workmen outside of London. The latter obtain better pay than those in the city. They say their unions are financially strong, and feel confident of success.
The London Times says the strike will result in England losing her present advantages in industrial productions.
TERRIBLE HURRICANE AND WATERSPOUT.—The London papers of the 15th, report a terrible hurricane and waterspout at Rustehuk, which destroyed 500 houses and sank two gun-boats, killing and injuring several persons.
THE RECENT FLOODS AT PRAGUE.—700 LIVES LOST.London, June 13. Details of the floods near Prague, caused by the heavy rains, show that the destruction of life and property was far greater than was at first supposed. The water poured over the country, sweeping everything before it. The fertile districts were devastated, and a number of villages were swept away. The loss of life is appalling, the number of persons who perished being estimated at 700.
THE WASHINGTON TREATY.—The Christian Union thus refers to the matter: “Our readers will like to have a clear view of the Treaty. In brief, it is here: 1. A satisfactory treaty was made, ratified, and glorified; externally excluding consequential damages and including them internally. 2. The glory departed, the external elements revolt at the internal, and a real Mexican row results. England hot and grim. America cold and grim. 3. The Treaty at an end. 4. The Treaty revived. 5. The Treaty abandoned. 6. Treaty not abandoned. 7. An understanding on the point of being reached. 8. A misunderstanding is reached instead. 9. Innumerable telegrams. 10. Hopes. 11. Hopes clouded. 12. More telegrams, hopes, clouds, settlements, unsettlements, and happy solutions. 13. Modern diplomacy—the cure of war—for it ties knots which not even the sword can ever cut!”
THE overflow of the River Po is traceable directly to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. All Italy seems to have been violently agitated since then, with sudden changes in temperature. Snow and sleet fell in Piedmont, the thermometer in some localities falling as low as in midwinter. Violent rain storms drenched the country, destroying the crops, killing the silk worms and doing other damage, until the accumulating floods overleaped the banks of the Po, and spread destruction on every side. The most singular electric phenomena were witnessed. Splendid meteors illuminated the heavens, and brilliant auroral lights spread terror among the people.
There are in the United States a hundred and twenty-eight monasteries and three hundred nunneries.
Michigan Camp-Meeting Committee.
The committee appointed at our last Camp-meeting having become scattered (two of them being out of the State), we take the liberty, consulting with a member of the General Conference committee, to appoint a new committee, consisting of the following brethren from the Battle Creek church, they having power to add to their number from other churches, as they may deem necessary.
Myron J. Cornell, H. S. Woolsey, Wm. K. Loughborough, T. B. Lewis, and H. S. Winslow.
This committee will take steps immediately to arrange for the place and make necessary provision for the meeting.
Who Directed the Tent Meetings?
In the Advent Christian Times, of June 4, 1872, we find the following statement. Speaking of a town in Eastern Michigan the editor, in his “Journal,” says:—
Soon after the church was organized, and while they were building the chapel, the Seventh-day Sabbath keepers pitched their tent in town, and with three preachers kept up a meeting for six weeks by the direction of Mrs. White, their prophetess.”
We venture to say that when our brethren went to Broadway with the tent, sister White knew nothing of it (unless she might have incidentally learned it from the paper), nor who was laboring with that tent, nor when they commenced, nor how long they intended to stay. Labor in the different States, is performed under the direction of their respective Conference committees. Sister W.’s attention is occupied with other matters.
From the numerous statements of this kind made in the Times, one would judge that it was edited by Ananias and Sapphira.
The Sabbath Recorder’s New Home
By Editor
The Sabbath Recorder comes to us this week from its new home in Alfred Center, N. Y. It has heretofore been edited and published by Geo. B. Utter, Westerly, R. I. It is now issued by The (S. D. Baptist) American Sabbath Tract Society, Alfred Center, N. Y., and edited by N. V. Hull. The Recorder, as now published, preserves its former size, heading, and general make-up, so that it presents the same familiar face as before. It starts off with freshness, variety, vigor, and ability, under the new arrangement. We trust it will still be, as it has been, an earnest advocate of the true Sabbath, as taught in the word, and enforced by the law, of Jehovah; that abundant success may attend it in the mission on which it is sent; and that spiritual and financial prosperity may crown all the operations of the Society by which it is published.
To the Brethren in Indiana.
By Wm. R. Carpenter
You see by the report of Bro. Waggoner in Review No. 1, June 18, that we are without tent or laborers. The question arises, What shall be done? Shall we let the cause of truth die out, when there are so many calls for help from all parts of the field? The salvation of souls is at stake. Time is too short in which we have to work, to let any known, opportunity pass by without being improved.
Now brethren we want a State Camp-meeting and in order to have one, we must have a tent. The subject was brought before the brethren of North Liberty, and the following sums, set opposite their names, were pledged to be paid within thirty days:
James Harvey, $50.00
Jacob Styles, 25.00
Wm. R. Carpenter, 25.00
Anson Worster, 10.00
Now I will ask, Will not Bro. Randolph of Owen County take this matter in hand and see the friends of the cause there in that part of the State; also Bro. Seaward or Covert in the central part of the State.
Let us be prompt. The cause demands it. Will the General Conf. Committee inform us of the price of a sixty feet tent at Chicago, with or without the ropes and poles.
Wm. R. Carpenter.
Geo. F. Foster, 12 South Market St., Chicago, will furnish a large tent at the following figures:
60 ft. diameter, 12 oz. top, 10 oz. wall, $336.57
Sacks to put tent in, 3.80
Poles &c. 50.00
Total, $390.37
Camp-Meeting Tents.
