THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

By Editor

This is the pioneer sheet of eight pages (the size of the REVIEW page), circulated everywhere by our Tract and Missionary workers, at the low price of one dollar a year to the T. and M. societies only.

The conductors of the Signs have laid their plans to make this pioneer sheet for 1880 a power in the land. Live writers are engaged for the work. Elder Smith will give a series of articles under the significant heading, Synopsis of Present Truth. Elder White will occupy several pages of each number with sermons on Redemption through Christ, and other subjects of like importance. And besides her regular articles on Old Testament history, Mrs. White will furnish other matter in her usual forcible style.

There will be a special edition of the Signs of twelve pages, for old subscribers, who are generally members of our church on the Pacific coast. This will contain the eight pages of the pioneer sheet, with four pages of church matters, reports and appointments inserted, making twelve pages, which will contain nearly three hundred square inches more than the old size of eight pages. Price, invariably, $2.00 a year.

CONNECTING RAILROAD LINES,

By S. N. Haskell

EAST AND WEST.

Within the past few years, railroad facilities have greatly multiplied in all directions, and competing through lines of travel now present their various claims to the public. Each has its advantages to the tourist, and the rates of fare do not materially differ; but when the smoothness of the roads, and the courtesy of conductors and other officials are considered, the experienced traveler soon forms preferences. Having traveled many times during the past ten years over all the through lines, east and west, I can cordially recommend the New York, Lake Erie and Western, Canada Southern, Michigan Central, Chicago and Northwestern, and Union Pacific Railroads, as forming an excellent through line of travel between the East and the West, which for reliability, safety, and attentiveness to their patrons, are not excelled.

The Fall River Line of steamers, between New York and Boston, makes good connection with the N. Y. and Lake Erie, and through tickets by the above route may be purchased at the company's office, Cor. Washington and State streets, Boston, for Battle Creek, or other western points.

OAKLAND CHURCH.

By James White

We wish to say to the friends of our general cause that in response to a call from Mrs. W. and the writer for donations to help pay the debt on the house of worship at Oakland, Cal., about $4,000 was pledged. Of this sum less than $3,000 has been paid. We were more willing to make that appeal from the fact that we had already put $1,500 into that house, and at the time of the call pledged $200 more, which we have since paid.

We advanced $1,000 of loaned money to meet a payment then due, and held a $1,000 note against that church due last June, and have received in donations less than $1,500, as about the same amount was sent direct to Oakland. Those who have not paid their pledges, and five hundred brethren who have done nothing to help that poor church at Oakland that has great burdens to bear, will please forward their payment of pledges, and free-will offerings to Elder James White, Battle Creek, Michigan, and we will see that the sums are properly applied. Let wealthy brethren ask themselves this question, Why should we let Elder White give $1,700 to that church, and we give little or nothing?

T. AND M. INSTITUTE IN BATTLE CREEK.

By Committee

By the counsel of the General Conference Committee, there will be a Tract and Missionary Institute at Battle Creek, Mich., commencing Feb. 20, and continuing three full weeks to March 15. This will be under the efficient management of Elds. B. L. Whitney and C. W. Stone. Plenty of time is given for a thorough course of instruction, and there will be no business meetings to interfere with the daily sessions. The object of holding an Institute here at this time is to accommodate a number of preachers who are here from different States, and other students at the College, and to furnish an opportunity to preachers in this and adjoining States to attend such an Institute before the coming season’s labor. Let there be a general rally and full attendance. Let no one think of leaving before the close. Entertainment free.

MEETINGS IN MISSOURI.

By George I. Butler

THE friends of the cause will notice the appointments for this State in the present issue of the Review. I intend to visit all the principal churches in the State during this trip, to encourage them in the work, labor for the salvation of souls, help forward the T. and M. work, and do all the good I can. I want to meet with all the Sabbath-keepers I can at these meetings; and I trust that as the appointments appear at different places, there will be a general turnout of all the brethren. I may not have another chance to see them for a long time. There are many things I desire to say to the brethren and sisters. I shall labor especially for the advancement of pure religion, those principles which Christ and the apostles taught, and to seek for a general revival of interest in the work of God. Let there be a general rally of all the friends of the cause.

DIPHTHERIA

By W. C. G.

Reports from all parts of the country indicate an alarming prevalence of this terrible scourge, in some cases almost entire families being swept away by its awful ravages. This fatality may in a great measure be obviated by the spread of information on the prevention and proper treatment of this disease. In no way can this be better done than by the wide circulation of Dr. Kellogg’s new work on Diphtheria, which is at present having an extensive sale. The second edition was entirely exhausted a few days since, and a third was rapidly put through the press to meet the call. Here is a field for missionary work, and an excellent and timely opportunity for the introduction of our health literature, which should not be neglected.

The writer speaks advisedly, having saved the life of one of his children by the use of the treatment indicated in this work, and would strongly plead for a wide circulation of the book. Sent by mail, post-paid, for twenty-five cents. Address REVIEW AND HERALD, Battle Creek, Mich. W. C. G.

NOT OF US.

By George I. Butler

At our recent meeting at State Center, Iowa, R. S. Buck, of New Hampton, Chickasaw Co., Iowa, was present, and tried to make himself quite prominent. He claims to have wonderful powers to heal the sick, and according to his own story is constantly led by the Spirit of God, through visions, revelations, and impressions. He has much to say about the persecutions he has received, and says he is called of God to preach, etc. Were it not for the fact that he passes himself off as a Seventh-day Adventist preacher, and as such goes from place to place among our scattered brethren, pleading for sympathy and obtaining means, we would not give him this public notice.

We have known him for years, and consider him a fanatic of the first water. We have not a particle of confidence that God has anything to do with his pretended powers or revelations. He never was a member of our church, and admits that he never was, but says he was ordained years ago by Eld. Deyo, first-day Adventist. We want our people to understand that this person has no connection with us, and we hope they will not be imposed upon by him. GEO. I. BUTLER.
