Maxims for Christian Living

By JOS. CLARKE

Items.

DUTY neglected becomes drudgery; duty promptly performed becomes pleasure.

Men in authority are often tried by the fickleness and unfaithfulness of those under their care. This often makes them tyrannical. Christ sets us a noble example of patience under such circumstances.

By noticing trifles, we become captious; by passing over injuries, we become noble.

All have trials, as well as ourselves. By thinking over our own trials, we become peevish; by sympathizing with others, we gather courage.

In most of the affairs of this life, there is a light and a dark side. By looking continually at the dark side, we become sad; by viewing the light side, we become cheerful, and sometimes joyful.

Fatigue clogs the mental powers; rest and nourishment set them free again.

He who is cautious in his words, his promises, his contracts, shuts Satan out at three doors, which when left unbarred, often ruin men, temporally and spiritually.

He who can bear reproof given at any time, in any manner, by any person, under any circumstances, deserved or undeserved, has evidence that he is renewed in heart.

Discernment, when possessed in any remarkable degree, will be attended with such a degree of humility as to preclude boasting of it.

It is objected to Christianity that hypocrites abound; as well might it be objected to courts of justice that perjurers abound in those institutions.

As it is only by grace that we discover the corruptions of our hearts, so it is only by grace that we overcome these corruptions.

The most profitable debates are those in which conscience wins the laurels of victory.

As nature smiles after the refreshing shower, so does the heart rejoice when visited by the Spirit of God.

Revelation alone, clears up the mysterious existence of evil with good, in this world; yet most men see no mystery in this union, and of course care not for the explanation.

The good man sees light beyond the cloud in the darkest dispensation; the wicked man sees no such light in any dispensation.

The shield of faith, if properly held, will quench all the fiery darts of men or devils.

Retirement is favorable for deep thought and continuous meditation, leisure is necessary for study, and rest for labor; but God's blessing must be in each, to make them fruitful.

To justify wrong in any one, or in one's own heart, causes a perversion of the judgment.

The good man holds daily court in his own heart; the wicked man adjourns court indefinitely.

The worldly man has no time for devotional and religious pursuits; the good man hardly has time to devote to his worldly affairs. The possession of great talents, does not always denote moral worth; yet such talents, when consecrated wholly to God are very precious and admirable.

Humility and purity of life must attend and accompany each talent; then be they few or many, great or small, they are acceptable to God and man. JOS. CLARKE.

The Seven Last Plagues of Rev. 16.

By JOS. CLARKE.

The first plague, the noisome and grievous sore, has this peculiarity: that it is inflicted upon those who have received the mark of the beast; while the last six seem to have a more general application. And all the plagues have another peculiarity, which is, that they are sent upon men after the vacating of the temple in Heaven, that is, the sanctuary; and that during this time of the plagues, the temple, or the sanctuary, is filled with smoke, and no man could enter the temple during this period of time.

These points are clearly laid down, and should be well understood and appreciated.

The mark of the beast is enforced by the two-horned beast (see Rev. 13: 11-17), and the subject of the warning of the third angel (see Rev. 14: 9-13) is the mark which the sufferers of the first plague have received previous to the infliction of this plague; and the temple in Heaven being shut and vacant, and filled with smoke, during the time of the plagues (Rev. 15: 8), plainly indicates that probation has ceased, previous to the plagues.

What the mark of the beast will be, has been so often proved that it seems unnecessary to advert to it, or prove it; yet we will briefly say, that it will be in some way connected with the false system of Sabbatizing, at present popular in moral and religious circles throughout Christendom. Indeed, it is a system held in doubt by many of its own advocates.

The seal of God, as Creator of heaven and earth, is contained in the fourth commandment; and the happy conclusion of the experience of such as assist in sealing the decalogue, by restoring this statute to its primitive meaning, and placing it in the list of Jehovah's laws, are all found in the 15th chapter of Revelation, while the unutterable agony and sorrow of the advocates of the false system of Sabbatizing are briefly alluded to in the 16th and 18th chapters of Revelation. JOS. CLARKE.

Return Thanks.

By C. P. Whitford

God himself has said, “In everything give thanks;” and he has taught his servants to say, “Yea, also, we glory in tribulations;” and most certain it is, that to true believers, afflictions, trials, and disappointments, will work out for them a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”

Afflictions to the true Christian are chastisements of love; and who will dare say that such love does not demand our warmest thanks, our highest praise, our ceaseless adoration. We should praise him; for in this way he is training us for a union with his own Son, and a home in glory. Thus he kills our corruptions, and is wisely contriving to bring us nearer to himself, and to ripen us for the honors of his heavenly kingdom. And thus shall tribulation work patience, and patience experience, and experience a more assured hope—even a hope which shall not make ashamed; while the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts.

Hypocrisy.

By M. D. Mathews

FOR they say and do not. Matt. 23: 3.

Hypocrisy is a sin which was especially manifested among the Scribes and Pharisees in our Saviour's time; hence we hear him denounce many woes upon them as related in this chapter. Most people have a great aversion to a hypocrite; yet this world is full of deceit, especially in these last days.

But what we hate in others we should not love in ourselves. Do we not often say and do not? Let us examine ourselves a little on this point. There are many ways in which we may be real hypocrites before God and not be conscious of it. “But do not ye after their works; for they say and do not.” How displeasing must this be to our heavenly Father! How contrary to his commandments! If hypocrisy was such a sin as to call forth such denunciations from our Saviour while among men, it is now just as great.

And are there not a very great multitude in these last days even among those professing godliness who say and do not? Yes it is a lamentable fact a great hindrance to the cause of Christ.

How many pure hearts bleed, how many faltering ones stumble, how many careless sinners when brought to see their lost condition, and are ready to start in a new life stop and say, I will not go with these. Oh! that the remnant people would separate themselves from all sin. His chosen ones will be clean.

Dear reader may you and I be one of that number. M. D. MATHEWS.

Beauty of Solitude.

Unthinking heads, who have not learned to be alone, are in prison to themselves, if they are not also with others; whereas, on the contrary, those whose thoughts are in a stir and hurry within, are sometimes fain to retire into company to be out of a crowd themselves. He who must needs have company, must sometimes have bad company. Be able to be alone; lose not the advantage of solitude and the society of thyself, nor be only content, but delight to be alone and single with Omnipotency. Unto him who is thus prepared, the day is not uneasy nor the night bleak. Darkness may bound his eyes, not his imagination. In his bed he may lie, like Pompey and his sons, in all quarters of the earth; may speculate the universe, and enjoy the whole world in the hermitage of himself.—Sel.

The Health Reformer.

By Editor

CASH PREMIUMS OFFERED.

ONE THOUSAND CANVASSERS WANTED.

The following liberal cash premiums are offered to responsible persons, who can give good references, and, from philanthropic feelings, for pay, or for both these considerations, will canvass for subscribers for the Health Reformer. The price of the Reformer is one dollar a year. Those who will send us, in plain hand-writing, the names of new subscribers, their post office, county, and state, accompanied with the cash, may retain their commission at the following rates:

From 4 to 10 new subscribers, 25 cents each. 15 " " 26 " " 20 " " 27 " " 25 " " 28 " " 30 " " 29 " " 35 " " 30 " " 40 " " 31 " " 45 " " 32 " " 50 " " 33 " " 60 " " 34 " " 70 " " 35 " " 80 " " 36 " " 90 " " 37 " " 100 " " 38 " " 200 " " 39 " " 300 " " 40 " " 400 " " 41 " " 500 " " 42 " " 600 " " 43 " " 700 " " 44 " " 800 " " 45 " " 1000 " " 46 " "

We will furnish canvassers with specimen copies of the Reformer at the rate of $5.00 a hundred.

We will furnish good letter envelopes with the advertisement of the Reformer printed on each envelope; and the full address of the Reformer printed on five or more envelopes of each pack, for the use of canvassers in forwarding names of subscribers, &c., to this Office, for 10 cents a package.

We have prepared an appeal to the candid public, setting forth the character and work of the Reformer, in a tract, envelop size, for the use of canvassers. Price, 25 cents a hundred.

Before entering upon the work of canvassing, all new agents must report themselves to this Office. This is necessary in order to prevent two or more canvassing the same territory.

The readers of the Review who do not take the Reformer, are urgently invited to send their subscriptions in immediately, direct to this Office. You need not hesitate, or wait for an agent. Enclose the sum of one dollar in a letter, properly enveloped and addressed, at our risk.

In order that the first number of volume seven of the Health Reformer may commence with January, where all monthlies should commence, the present volume will close with December, which is number six of volume six.

This change, however, will not in the least affect the terms of the Reformer with any subscriber. All will receive twelve numbers for the sum of one dollar. For example: Those who have paid for the current volume are credited on their poster, 7–1; that is, they have paid up to Vol. 7, No. 1. Now in cutting the present volume short six numbers, we shall credit the accounts of such just six numbers ahead in next volume; so their account will then stand, 7–7.

Canvassers have time to get a good ready, and a good start in canvassing for volume seven which will commence with January, 1872. Any, however, who wish back numbers, that they may read all we say upon Bible Hygiene, can have them, and date their subscription back to July, 1871, or they can receive them, post paid, for 8 cents a number.

News and Miscellany.

“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”

Mormonism.

From Utah we this week receive news of interest. Some time since we recorded the fact that suit had been brought into the Third District Court of the Territory by a lady—one of the wives of a Mormon—for divorce on the ground of adultery. It would appear that this is being made a test case for the trial of the institution of polygamy as existing in Utah. In impaneling the jury, all polygamists were excluded by the U. S. law officers. Chief Justice McKean, in his charge to the jury, said:

“You are summoned not to try criminal cases, but to say what criminal cases shall be presented for trial. In the discharge of this duty you will be governed by the same principles of law which govern grand juries in Maine and Montana, in Georgia and Arizona—principles of law everywhere applicable throughout the Republic. The crimes of murder, arson, larceny, bigamy, adultery, and riot in Utah are the same crimes elsewhere throughout Christendom. If there is anything peculiar in the situation in Utah, it is the peculiar conduct of some men here, and not any peculiar principles or policy that are to be enforced here. Utah belongs to the United States; and the people of Utah, like the people of the rest of the country, are amenable to the laws of the United States. Those who obey the laws must be—shall be—protected in their rights. Those who do not must answer at the bar of justice; and those men of influence who, in practice, defy the law, trample upon the laws themselves, and by precept teach others to do so, should be the first to feel the firm grip of the law, rather than the obscure men whom they have misled. Gentlemen, it is your duty and mine to enforce the laws. Let us do so without fear, favor, affection, prejudice, or the hope of reward.”

Subpoenas have been issued to bring before the grand jury Brigham Young and some fourteen of his wives, and also George A. Smith, who ranks next to Young in the Mormon Church. Brigham says he will obey the summons as witness, or submit even to a warrant of arrest, but will not yield to imprisonment. Judge Hawley, of the Supreme Court, has caused to be issued from the Second Judicial District Court a writ of prohibition against a Mormon bishop, John R. Murdock, Probate Judge of Beaver county, restraining him from taking or exercising either chancery or common law jurisdiction, and confining him to simple probate business. Disregarding the decision of the Supreme Court, Brigham Young had directed his bishops, who are the probate judges, to continue chancery and common jurisdiction. There is a good deal of excitement among both Mormons and Gentiles. At a recent sale of U. S. ordnance at Camp Douglas, Gen. Clawson, the Mormon adjutant general, purchased 1,000 stand of arms and 150,000 rounds of fixed ammunition, and it is reported that squads of Mormon militia are drilling at night at Salt Lake City. The Herald, the Mormon organ, speaking of the purchase of arms by Gen. Clawson, says: “In time of peace prepare for war.” It is generally thought throughout the Territory that a crisis is at hand.

The foregoing is from the N. Y. Independent of Sept. 28. In another column that paper speaks further of Mormonism, and touches upon another abomination nearer home, as follows:—

In another column we give the progress of the new fight just organized by the government against polygamy in Utah. That “relic of barbarism” must now be brought face to face with civilization, and its doom settled. Hitherto its distance from us, and the pressure of the business of destroying its “twin relic,” have united to keep it from commanding the attention it deserves. But our people must prepare to take a broader view, that will include other institutions kindred to Mormonism. The Oneida Community is a plague-spot just by our side, an abominable outrage, worse in essence than polygamy. That allows marriage; but this utterly ignores the marriage tie and reduces the relation of the sexes to a form which under the name of religion is little better than that which connects the brutes. We must not forget this bestial phase of Mormonism in our easy denunciations of that of Utah.

The Cause of European Alarm.—

The Universe publishes the following prayer, which the Pope is said to offer up daily for France; “Oh! Mary, conceived without sin, look down upon France; pray for France; oh! save France. The greater its guilt, the greater its need of thy intercession. A single word to Jesus, reclining in thine arms, and France is saved. Oh! Jesus, obey Mary, and save France.

The Cause of European Alarm.—

That there is still deep-seated uneasiness and anxiety in England and in other European States, on account of the discussions and rivalries of the emperors, is well known. The coldness between the rulers of Russia and Germany, and the growing friendship between the rulers of Austria and Germany, together with the rapid arming of Russia and the re-arming of Germany, has suggested strong probability of one of the greatest wars of the world. The rough reply of Bismarck to Roumania, informing her that she is not a sovereign state, and the seizing upon the repudiation by Roumania of a small and disputed debt, making this a pretext for bringing up the Eastern question again in all its former fury, shows some deep-seated plot to change the ownership of the mouths of the Danube. Russia has long coveted the Roumanian territory, and laid out all her plans and mighty military energies with reference to naval opportunities in more southern seas. Germany also may be looking ambitiously in the same direction, and is making alliance with Austria and Italy, well knowing that Russia will not yield her long cherished dream, and be perpetually imprisoned by the Black Sea and her frozen waters,—without a long and desperate struggle. If actual war shall be the issue, it must be terrible, and both Russia and England will bitterly regret their having allowed France to be so permanently crippled.—The Republic of Sept. 13.

That terrible scourge, the Asiatic cholera, has now effected a foothold in this country, having been brought from Hamburg to Perth Amboy N. J.

A Wonderful Invention.

By Uriah Smith

WE always admire an invention which is designed to supply a long-felt necessity, and which is exactly adapted to accomplish the object sought. Time-setting Adventists of course need charts to exhibit in illustration of their lectures. On these charts the prophetic periods must be illustrated. But as each new time passes these periods must be re-adjusted, and the old chart is rendered useless. Besides, almost every man has a time of his own, so that scarcely any two can unite in using the same chart. Now to publish a new chart whenever a time passes, or to publish enough to meet the views of all, would soon break the heaviest firm in the land.

Under these circumstances the Advent Times comes to the rescue. It is proposed to publish a chart in which the prophetic periods shall be disposed of in the following manner:—

“The prophetic periods will be illustrated, but not in a manner to confine them to any special dates. But they will be so arranged that any lecturer can adapt them to his own views of their rise and termination.”

Such is the announcement in the Times of Sept. 26, 1871. And this, it will be seen, just meets the case. From the same illustration a man can commence these periods wherever he pleases and end them where it happens. But just how they can be adjusted so as to begin nowhere, and end in equally indefinite regions, or rather, begin everywhere and end ditto, is still something of a mystery; and we wait with interest to see how it will be solved.

U. S.

Rather Mixed.

By Uriah Smith

From the N. Y. Independent of Sept. 21, 1871, we learn that in offices which we may suppose to be nearly as well regulated as our own, mistakes will sometimes be made. When such things occur, the reader should remember that the business is involved in continual liability to such blunders, and that these are prevented only by such constant care as no one would form an adequate idea of who had never had personal experience in the business, and so should exercise all the charity possible in such cases. The Independent tells us how things lately got mixed in that office as follows:—

“We wish to notify our readers that of our two contributors, Geo. B. Cheever, D. D., and Rev. Wm. Baker, neither one is so crazy as might be judged from the way in which the printer has mixed up their last communications to us. By a blunder, such as has never occurred in our office within the memory of its oldest inhabitant, the second “galley” of Dr. Cheever’s article was thrown into the form immediately after the first “galley” of Mr. Baker’s, and the two remaining “galleys” jumbled together the following week under the name of Dr. Cheever. As sent to us by Mr Baker, his “Remainder Biscuit” were all of a batch, and Dr. Cheever’s “Divine Revelation” did not include what a Quaker was “moved” to say. Our readers have the whole of both articles, and will please put them together properly.” U. S.

Found Halters at Charlotte Camp Meeting

By S. C. Perry

Notice.

SOME one left a pair of halters on the ground near where the teams stood at the Charlotte camp meeting. Supposing they were Bro. Howe’s, being near where his team had stood, I brought them away. They are not his, and I hold them subject to the order of the owner. S. C. PERRY. Portland, Mich.

The Prospect in England.

The Detroit Post, commenting on the English outlook, in view of the death of the queen which is soon expected, says:—

“To this event the people, as well as the politicians, are looking forward with intense interest, not to say anxiety. The lower classes are being ripened, by the sincere Communists and the “International” demagogues, for revolution. Gladstone, and the Liberals generally, are adapting their phraseology to republican necessities. Bradlaugh, a red revolutionist of much influence, confidently asserts that the republic will be established in less than five years; while all classes, aristocratic, commercial, and democratic, are anxiously preparing for the fateful day that calls the Prince of Wales to the throne. That he has the confidence of few, and the hatred of many; that the paupers, and the pinched and impoverished working-classes of England are discontented, and bitter, and sullen, in their disrespect for the monarchy; that the state of Ireland greatly troubles if it does not quite baffle the statesmanship of Mr. Gladstone, as he himself confessed in his speech of Tuesday, are facts as notorious as they are perplexing and disquieting. Queen Victoria’s approaching dissolution, whether it be of mind or body, or both, is bringing the English people face to face with most startling and serious events.”

Trouble Ahead in France.

The following review of the French situation, and of the dangers to which the republic is exposed, is furnished by the New York Evening Post:

“There is little doubt but that France is on the eve of another dangerous political crisis. The canvass for the elections of the departmental Councils-General, which takes place on the 8th of October, is daily becoming more animated and bitter, especially in the rural districts, and the politicians of all parties are more active than in the general and supplementary elections for the Assembly in January and July last.”

“President Thiers and the majority of the National Assembly are no longer on good terms. The Chamber did not, as was first reported, extend the powers of the President for the term of two years, but only for so long as it is itself in existence. If the October elections result in the success of the monarchical candidates in a majority of the departments, the Assembly, upon meeting again on the 4th of December, will probably proclaim the restoration of the monarchy, and then vote its own dissolution, which would end the existence of the Thiers administration. The defiant tone of the organs of the monarchists, even of the most liberal Orleanist journals, confirm the fears of the republicans that the fusion of the legitimists and Orleanists is an accomplished fact, and that a majority of the Chamber in December next, will vote for the overthrow of the republic.”

The Bible and Modern Science

By Uriah Smith

Bro. Pierce shows in his article on the first page what many may not be aware of, that the Bible long ages ago revealed the existence of the countless myriads of stars, which science has only recently discovered by means of modern telescopes; that it plainly indicated that these stars were inhabited, and that it clearly showed the spherical form of the earth. And how pitiful a sight does that man make, who, on the discovery of some of these facts by human means, swells up with vanity and pride well nigh to bursting, and spurns the holy volume from him, as though human discoveries had proved it false, and the world had progressed beyond the need of its life-giving light. Between true science and the Bible, no discrepancy ever yet has been found, and none ever will be found. U. S.

Sunday Laws.

A LETTER from Scotland in the Interior, of Sept. 28, 1871, has the following on Sunday Laws:

“From the speaking and plaudits together, you would have gathered the hearty conviction of all that the Sabbath was made for man, not by man, but by the wise and good Creator who knew what man needed, rest for the body, and a fitting of the mind for higher spheres—that seven days’ work did not bring seven days’ wages, or if so, it was only for a time, and followed by loss on all sides and to all concerned—that personal worth and domestic comfort required a Sabbath day, and that national character showed itself according to the regard or disregard paid to God’s appointed time for rest and worship. Some of your cities, when last heard from, were in the midst of a fight on this very subject. Heaven speed the right. But if the contrary has been allowed, don’t be discouraged. Many an apparent success has been but the beginning of total defeat.”
