OUR PRESENT POSITION, In the Waiting, Tarrying TimePage 1
Earlier text: THE MICHIGAN STATE CONFERENCEThe Publishing Association.
The Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association was incorporated in Battle Creek, Mich., May 3, 1861. Its object is to issue “periodicals, books, tracts, documents, and other publications, calculated to impart instruction on Bible truth, especially the fulfillment of prophecy, the commandments of God, and the teachings of Jesus Christ.” Its capital stock is raised by shares at $10 each; and every shareholder is entitled to one vote in all the deliberations of the Association, for every share that he or she may hold. All lovers of truth, who “keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus,” are still invited to take shares in the Association, and have a voice in all its deliberations. The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald
Is a twelve-page religious family paper, issued weekly by the S. D. A. Publishing Association, and devoted to an earnest investigation of all Bible questions. It is designed to be an exponent of momentous and solemn truths pertaining to the present time, some of which are set forth by no other periodical in the land. The fulfillment of prophecy, the second personal advent of the Saviour as an event now near at hand, immortality through Christ alone, a change of heart through the operation of the Holy Spirit, the observance of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, the divinity and mediatorial work of Christ, and the development of a holy character by obedience to the perfect and holy law of God, as embodied in the decalogue, are among its special themes. And while it will endeavor to present impartially both sides of all important questions, it has a definite theory to teach, and hence will not devote its space to an indiscriminate and aimless mass of conflicting sentiments and views. Regular price, $2.50 per year, or $1.25 for a volume of 26 numbers. On trial for six months $1.00. No subscriptions taken for less than six months. To the worthy poor, free, by their reporting themselves and requesting its continuance, once in six months. The friends of the Review are invited to earnest and unceasing efforts to extend its circulation. Is a monthly sheet, published as above, and designed to be to the youth and children what the Review and Herald is to those of riper years. You who wish to see your children instructed in the great truths which so interest you, will here find a sheet in which these things are set forth in a plain and interesting manner, free from the popular fables and errors of the age. It should not only visit regularly every youth and child who professes to be a follower of Jesus, but should be taken and read in every Sabbath-keeping family. Don’t forget the children. See that they have the Instructor. Terms, 25 cts. per year in advance. This is the title of a monthly health journal, “devoted to an exposition of the laws of our being, and the application of those laws in the preservation of health and the treatment of disease.” It is an earnest advocate of the true philosophy of life, the only rational method of treating disease, and the best means of preserving health. Practical instructions will be given from month to month relative to water, air, light, food, sleep, rest, recreation, &c. Health, its recovery and preservation, is a subject of world-wide interest, whatever may be a person’s tenets in other respects; and to this the Reformer will be exclusively devoted. Edited by H. S. Lay, M. D., Managing Physician of the Western Health Reform Institute. Terms $1.00 in advance for a volume of twelve numbers. Address Dr. H. S. Lay, Battle Creek, Mich. Is becoming a theme of wide-spread and absorbing interest. To those who wish to give the subject a thorough investigation, we recommend the History of the Sabbath. As a work setting forth a connected Bible view of the Sabbath question, its history since the Christian era, and the different steps by which the human institution of the first day of the week has usurped the place of the Bible institution of the seventh day, it is unsurpassed by any publication extant. Between two and three hundred quotations from history are given, to each of which is appended a full reference to the authority from which it is taken. It is replete with facts and arguments which challenge denial or refutation. Other works on this subject, from the penny tract to the largest size pamphlet, will be found noticed in our book list. There is no other Bible subject upon which a more extensive misunderstanding exists, than upon the Sabbath question. Circulate the books, and spread abroad the light on this subject. The works upon this important subject to which we would call especial attention, are, The Prophecy of Daniel, The Sanctuary and 2300 Days, and The Three Messages of Rev. xiv. The first gives an exposition of the plain and thrilling prophecies of Daniel ii, vii, and viii, showing from the course of empire that the God of Heaven is about to set up his kingdom. The Sanctuary question is the great central subject of the plan of salvation, and yet there are but few, comparatively, who have any acquaintance with it. It gives a new interest to a great part of the Bible, leads to an intelligent view of the position and work of Christ as our great High Priest in Heaven, completely explains the past Advent movement, and shows clearly our position in prophecy and the world’s history. The three messages bring to view present duty, and future peril. All should read these books, and ponder well their teaching. 1.

Business Department Thanks Faithful Friends of the Cause
By Editor
The Business Department this week shows that the cause has many true-hearted friends. What they do to advance the good work, we believe they do heartily as unto the Lord, and he will reward them accordingly. News: Release of Jefferson Davis
Conference week, from its press of business, gave us an opportunity to look forth upon the outside world to mark the occurrence of transpiring events. Glancing over the past two weeks we find the most prominent event to be the release of Jeff. Davis, to which we devote most of the News Department. The Health Reform Institute.
Some items of the report of the proceedings of this body, given in another column, may need a word of explanation. It is stated in the Articles of Association that the capital stock is one hundred thousand dollars. This is so stated, because the law obliges the signers of such articles to state a sum which shall be the full limit of their capital stock to be raised by shares. The law allows such corporations to have one hundred thousand dollars; hence it is put at that sum. Again it is said, “The amount of capital stock paid in is seventeen hundred and fifty dollars.” This is the amount paid in by those who signed the Articles of Association, which is all that could there be mentioned, as the law does not recognize any others as stockholders till they are furnished with their certificate of stock from those who first enter into the organization. Certificates will now be issued to all who have paid for shares as fast as the Secretary can find time to issue them. Again it is said, “The term of the existence of said corporation shall be thirty years.” The law under which this organization is formed compels us to specify the term of its continuance. It allows thirty years; hence this period is stated as the term of its continuance, though we hope, ere a third of that period has elapsed, to be forever beyond the necessity of caring for the sick, or promulgating the principles of the Health Reform.
