TEMPERANCE AND GOSPEL SONGS.
By J. H. W.
THIS is the title of a song book of 100 pages, of the usual size and style of Sunday-school publications, compiled by J. E. White, and published by the American Health and Temperance Association, Battle Creek, Mich. Price, 30 cents; $25 per hundred.
This book will bear praising. Its words as well as music are mostly new, and all such as will bear repeating. Almost all the composers in this country of any note are its contributors. D. S. Hakes, Dr. W. O. Perkins, H. S. Perkins, Wm. F. Sherwin, W. A. Ogden, T. C. O'Kane, J. A. Butterfield, Dr. J. B. Herbert, W. T. Giffe, Elisha A. Hoffman, Frank M. Davis, W. J. Bostwick, L. B. Jewell, and R. B. Mahaffey, have furnished original music. And some of them are certainly very superior pieces. A large number of writers have also furnished original words, prominent among them, F. E. Belden, who is so well known to those who have used the Song Anchor.
We are not alone in the opinion that a better collection of temperance songs has never been published. It is suited to the congregation or the parlor, with some stirring pieces suited to a select company of performers. We would like to specify some of the choice pieces, but are unable to determine which should have such a preference. Buy it, sing it, and you will never regret it.

IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS.
WE, whose names are given at the close of this article, have carefully and prayerfully considered the important matters pertaining to the cause on the Pacific coast and in Europe, to which reference is made in the following, and agree in offering these suggestions:—
1. That Eld. Andrews, in view of his worn and feeble condition, should come to America, accompanied by his son, in season to be present at the General Conference at Battle Creek, the first of October.
2. That he should remain in his native land until his health be confirmed, and that his son enjoy the advantages of the Battle Creek College.
3. That Eld. Matteson be invited to leave the work in Europe in the best hands available, and visit America in season to attend the General Conference.
4. That the next General Conference will be the largest and most important meeting ever held by our people. And as matters pertaining to the cause, as far as it extends, will be carefully considered, it is very important that these leading men who are laboring with those of different languages should be present.
5. That, in the present state of affairs, it seems indispensably necessary for the safe progress of the cause in Europe, that either these leading men should come to America, and meet the heads of the denomination in this country in Conference, or that brethren from this country should very soon visit Europe.
6. That the state of the cause in America, but especially on the Pacific coast, is such as to make it hazardous to spare efficient men to visit Europe at present.
7. That as the time is comparatively brief, and all our people have a lively interest in the cause everywhere, it is thought best to lay these suggestions before the readers of the SIGNS, praying that the hand of God may guide and help in these important matters.

CHRIST YET TO COME.
WE have received from the "American Millennial Association," publishers, Boston, Mass., a book with this title, written by Josiah Litch.
Dr. I. P. Warren, a Congregationalist by profession, but ignoring the faith of Congregationalists on this subject, wrote a book entitled, Parousia of Christ. His view is that Christ came in the days of the apostles, that probation of the human race on this earth will never end, that Christ will never return to this earth in person, and that the resurrection (as held by spiritualists), is at death—a release of the immortal from the mortal, instead of the mortal becoming immortal.
This reply of Mr. Litch is a masterly and complete argument. It would be too much to say that we coincide with every minútiá of his views of prophecy; but in the great and grand outlines of second advent truth, he has done an excellent work. Dr. A. J. Gordon, Pastor of the Clarendon Street Baptist church, Boston, has written an introduction which is well worth the reading in this age of declension from the Scriptural and apostolic faith.
We wish that every minister in the land would give this book a careful perusal. It could not fail to correct many loose views of "the hope and resurrection" which are now afloat. It is a book of 192 pages; price, $1.00.
