No Paper Next Week.
By Uriah Smith
THIS number closes volume forty-six of the REVIEW. As we wish to commence the new volume with the opening of the new year, we omit the paper for one week. Number one of volume forty-seven will be dated Jan. 6, 1876, and mailed so as to reach our subscribers as early in the week as usual. U. S.
One Day Late.

On account of laying over the paper one week, we delay this number one day in order to give appointments up to as late an hour as possible. U. S.
The Fast.
By Uriah Smith
As this is the last number of the REVIEW which will go to our readers before the day of fasting appointed by the General Conference Committee, we again call the attention of all to that important announcement. Let it be kept, not as a form, but as a sincere effort to draw near to the Lord. Bro. Canright has an important appointment for that day to which we trust all the churches in that section of the field will heartily respond. U. S.
Turkey: The Approaching Doom of the Ottoman Empire
Turkey.
THERE seems to be a settled conviction in all quarters that the doom of Turkey is now rapidly approaching beyond the possibility of aversion. The following is what The Christian at Work says upon the subject:—
“England has done a sensible thing in securing the contract of the Suez Canal, thus keeping her way open through Egypt to India. And now the Ottoman Empire is going to pieces; in fact, that Turkish barque ought to have foundered a long while ago. That empire will not be enlightened and cannot be preserved, and no human agency can avert its doom. As the London Times has it, ‘She is perishing partly of the corruptions inseparable from her creed and her form of government, and partly from contact with a higher civilization than her own.’ If Turkey could only be embalmed and buried in one of the pyramids, or in one of the numerous tombs at Thebes or Memphis, it would be well. But as this cannot be, the sum in division had better be done as soon as possible, Russia getting the Dardanelles and the Sea of Marmora, Austria getting a slice, and Germany its share. The Ottoman Empire is only a mass of effete Oriental corruption, and the sooner the sick man is quietly chloroformed to death the better for the surviving relatives and friends.”
Especial Notice.
By S. N. Haskell; B. L. Whitney
CHANGE OF APPOINTMENT.
In view of the fast appointed for Sabbath, Jan. 1, the meeting at Adam’s Center is postponed one week, to Jan. 1, 1876.
We believe this move to be in the order of God, and that it should be regarded by all of our people wherever the notice may reach them. We are in an important crisis in the history of this cause. Advance steps should be taken, and it is certain defeat to go forward unless God goes with us, and gives success to our efforts. A spirit of lethargy and stupor is gradually coming over many, which will prove their eternal ruin unless they are aroused. We all need to seek God. The words of the prophet are especially applicable: “Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness; it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger.” Zeph. 2:3.
We speak for a general attendance at the Adam’s Center meeting, as it will be the only general meeting which will be held in this part of the State this winter. Come prepared to remain until Tuesday morning.

A Card.
By E. G. Doud
I SEE a very favorable report of the Vassar church in the REVIEW from Bro. Canright. I think the church worthy of said report, but so far from admitting that the elder has been largely the means of bringing about this state of things, I wish to say, The credit belongs to the church. From the first, the members have tried to care for one another; have had a regard for one another’s feelings; have exercised a spirit of forgiveness; have been prompt in correcting the faults of the erring in a spirit of meekness, and the blessing of the Lord has been with us. I should be glad if this would lead other churches to do likewise. I find much stubbornness in churches where there is trouble. My brethren, this ought not to be.
