THE following report of matters in the moral market has been made. We hope it is not entirely correct:
Honor—Scarce. Old stock exhausted, and the new will be a complete failure.
Virtue—Old growth nearly consumed. Young growth—prospects very unpromising.
Honesty—None in the market.
Patriotism—First quality scarce; none to be disposed of. Second quality easily bought on speculation at a 100 per cent. discount.
Prudence—All in the hands of old stockholders.
Modesty—Stock badly damaged. None for sale.
Vice—Market overstocked.
Pride—Market glutted.
Politeness—Cheap. Holders unwilling to dispose of stock at present rates.
Scandal—None at wholesale. Dealt in chiefly by hawkers and peddlers at retail.
Religion—None genuine on hand. Stock generally adulterated. Very few investments.
Love—None offered—except for greenbacks.
Talent—Scarce article. Sold exclusively for cash.
Consistency—Out of fashion.—Ex.
Appointments.
By Joseph G. Wood
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
The next Quarterly Meeting of the S. D. Adventists of Monroe, Wis., will be held at Monroe, March 21, 1868. We invite our sister churches to meet with us prepared to work for the Lord. Cannot our Conference committee send us a preacher.
JOSEPH G. WOOD.
BUSINESS AND PERSONAL.
A limited space will be given under this head for Business Notices from the brethren, at 20 cents per line for each insertion. Parties must give good reference as to their standing and responsibility.
WANTED.—Several good, substantial Sabbath-keepers to work in a brick yard the ensuing season to whom good wages will be paid.

Kindness the Best Weapon
“Why do you show favor to your enemies instead of destroying them?” said a chieftain to the Emperor Sigismund. “Do I not destroy my enemies by making them my friends?” was the Emperor’s noble reply. Kindness is the best weapon with which to beat an adversary.
