  5. BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.—“Whatever we can do of good in this world, with our affections or our faculties, rises to the eternal world above us, as a song of praise from Humanity to God. Amid the thousand, thousand tones ever joining to swell the holy music of that song, are those which sound loudest and grandest here, the tones which travel sweetest and purest up to the Imperishable Throne, which mingle in the perfectest harmony with the anthem of the angel choir? A solemn and awful question!—Let your own heart answer it: and then say, may not the obscurest life be dignified by a lasting aspiration, and dedicated to a noble aim?”1 paragraphs

  32. “Out of some eight hundred thousand various readings of the Bible, that have been collated, about seven hundred and ninety-five thousand are of just about as much importance to the sense of the Greek and Hebrew Scriptures, as the question in English orthography is whether the word honour shall be spelled with a u or without it. Of the remainder, some change the sense of particular passages or expressions, or omit particular words or phrases; but not one doctrine of religion is changed, not one precept is taken away, not one important fact is altered, by the whole of the various readings collectively taken.”1 paragraphs

  35. SISTER L. M. BARTLETT writes: BRO. ALDRICH: I have been an Adventist ever since 1848. I opposed it at first, but soon became convinced that the alarm was of God, to rouse a sinful world from sleep to wake and prepare for judgment. Only lately have I kept God's Sabbath, though taught to keep Sunday from my youth up. We have a small Advent meeting here once in four weeks, but the brethren I think hold to some error. I sometimes combat their opinions of “no Devil, no Sabbath,” except as civil law, and silence them; but do not know as they are convinced of the truth; it is so hard to give up errors and own we are wrong. The Lord help his people to do so, and to reform in every thing, through Christ strengthening us. They receive the Review gladly, and it goes the rounds in this vicinity when I have read it, doing good I hope. I do not know of another Sabbath-keeper here, but I think I find a blessing in doing duty. I was almost to the grave when I commenced to keep the fourth commandment, and humbled myself, and sought the Lord for health and healing that I might labor longer for him. I trust he heard and answered me; and blessed be his name.Sister L. M. Bartlett2 paragraphs

  38. From Sister Addison.Mariam A. Addison3 paragraphs
  39. SISTER C. R. RICE writes from Lee Summit: I have long felt it a duty to speak through the Review of the merciful kindness of God to me. I feel to thank his holy name for light on the third angel’s message, and am determined to so live that I may gain strength daily, and with God helping me, overcome all trials, that I may be ready when Jesus comes. I feel that the time is short, and that we cannot be too diligent in a preparation for so great an event.C. R. Rice2 paragraphs
  40. BRO. J. HEATH writes: There is everything that we could ask for to encourage us to go forward. A crown of eternal life will soon be given to all that are faithful. “Well done!” Oh! how good to hear these words from the lips of the Life-giver! Thou hast been faithful over a few things. But how will the sound, “Thou wicked and slothful servant,” fall with crushing weight upon the ear. May this be far from any that are doing the commandments of God. We will try to have a perfect right to the tree of life, entering through the pearly gates. Sixty-one years of my life are in the past. I hope to live till the coming of Christ. I love the word of God more than ever before. The Review is of great worth to me. I love to read all of it, and I would say to the brethren, Write more for it; for I like to hear from all of you. Let us come up on all points of the present truth. The Health Reform has done much for me. We cannot be too faithful in serving God. We want stars in our crown, an abundant entrance into the heavenly kingdom. Oh! to be there with the saved of all ages of every clime, and with Adam partake of the tree of life, and live forever, with nothing to hurt or destroy, beyond the power of sin, safe forevermore! Shall I be there?1 paragraphs
  41. BRO. A. RUST writes from Gratiot Co., Mich.: Myself and companion are striving for eternal life. We love the precious truths of the third angel's message, and are trying to live out the same as we should. We believe that we should make a double effort now to rise above the cares of this life and prepare for the great change that the people of God will so soon experience, believing that the daily walk and conversation, the fruits, determine the moral worth of all. A profession of godliness without works to accord, is religion only in name, a name to live while being dead. Pray for us that our course may ever be that of consistent Christians waiting for their coming Lord.A. Rust1 paragraphs
  42. THIS world is not made for a tomb, but a garden. You are to be a seed, not a death. Plant yourself, and you will sprout. Bury yourself and you can only decay. For a dead opportunity there is no resurrection.1 paragraphs
  43. The best and sweetest flowers of Paradise God gives to his people when they are upon their knees. Prayer is the gate of Heaven, a key to let us into Paradise.1 paragraphs
  44. DANGERS OF THE AGE.2 paragraphs
  45. SISTER S. R. SUTHERLAND writes from Vernon Co., Wis.: I am still trying to live out all the truth as circumstances will permit. I love God's people and hope to meet them all in the kingdom of God. It is quite lonely here; there is no Advent church, and only one other Sabbath-keeper here; and all the preaching we have is the Review. I believe that time is short and that Jesus soon will come; and I want to be fully prepared to meet him in peace and not with grief.S. R. Sutherland1 paragraphs
  46. SISTER M. E. ARMSTRONG writes from Vanburen Co., Mich.: I am still striving to overcome every evil, and in the strength of the Lord, am determined to conquer. It is good to call upon the Lord in sickness and in health. What great love the Father hath for us. Will it not lead us to serve him and love him? I will love him; for he first loved me. I will try to keep his commandments, that I may glorify him here, and at last have a right to the tree of life. This hope is worth living for.4 paragraphs

  51. In the Historical Department this week, we present an interesting sketch from the graphic pen of Dr. H. Bonar, on the treading down of Jerusalem. As the utter humiliation of the poor Jew is pictured before us, we can scarce restrain our pity for him; but his self-imposed fate is inexorable. His blood be upon us and our children, said the crucifiers of the Prince of Life; and they were taken at their word; and Jerusalem under the dominion of the Gentiles, and the Jews wandering in every nation under heaven, a distinct people though so thoroughly scattered and dispersed, have stood forth since then, a striking monument of the truthfulness of the words of Him who predicted that such should be their fate because they knew not the time of their visitation.Editor1 paragraphs
  52. SUSPENDED. The Herald of the Bridegroom, Newark, N. J., which has for the past two years advocated the coming of the Lord in the year 1867, has now suspended publication, the point to which it looked, having passed by. We would that Adventists might learn wisdom by these repeated failures, and be led to see the folly of continually attempting to readjust the prophetic periods when they have once been scripturally and harmoniously fulfilled. In its issue of Nov. 13, the Herald said:Editor3 paragraphs
  53. We have frequently had our attention called to the reckless oddity and drollery in which many preachers among the first-day Adventists seem inclined to indulge for the purpose of appearing eccentric, or for some other reason, but which is very unbecoming, to say the least, in a minister of the gospel, in his sacred calling of warning the world of the impending Judgment. A notable instance occurred at the late Advent Camp meeting at Alton Bay, N. H., as reported by a Congregationalist minister who was present. As his report has been endorsed by the leading Advent papers as a fair and candid representation of the matter, we presume his statements are correct. Speaking of one of the prayers offered on the occasion, he says:3 paragraphs

  69. THE BATTLE CREEK JOURNAL. This paper has recently changed hands, Hon. Geo. Willard being now Editor and Proprietor. In its new hands the paper presents a new face, and exhibits new life. With its departments of Choice Miscellany, Educational, Agricultural, able Editorials on the leading topics of the day, comprehensive digest of news, and full notice of local matters, it cannot fail to meet the wants of the community, and be a good exponent of the industry and progress of this flourishing city. Mr. W. in his connection with the legislature of this State has rendered us valuable service in the organization of the Publishing Association and the Health Reform Institute, which we shall long have reason to remember. We wish him abundant success in his new enterprise.1 paragraphs
