THE best selling book before the people. Agents in the East are handling this book with great profit. One says: "Nearly everybody seems to want it. I have only canvassed about seven or eight days, and have obtained forty-one subscribers. 'Thoughts on Daniel, and the Revelation' might be sold by the thousand in this State."
The book is one that everybody will want, as it treats of subjects that are now agitating the public mind, and its style and language are so plain that none can fail to understand it.

Doing Right in the Right Way
It is possible to do a proper thing in an improper way, so that an act which is praiseworthy in itself, may not only fail of commendation, but actually call forth censure. We should endeavor to act with such consistency and propriety that our good be not evil spoken of. Much more depends upon manner than many persons are disposed to think. There are men of fine talent and great moral worth, whose performances possess real merit, but who, because of their mannerism are depreciated, or even condemned. We should not only do what is right, but endeavor to do it in the right way.
