W. -Herndon, Columbia, Mo., editor,, comes to us enlarge« 1 and printed on a good quality of tinted and glazed book paper. On the whole, the Review presents a much better appearance than before, but we tlAnk there is too much mtrgi.. At this writing we have not had time to examine its contents. We congratulate Bro. Herndon on his success. .. about the second advent of vJhrist, and talks as though nobody except the Seventh Day Adventists be lieves that Christ is ever coming again to this earth. The Signe ought to know* that when it is try ing to prove the second advent of our Savior it is wasting its paper and ink. The truth is we are caring but little about the matter, for we simply accept the fact of his coming, and as to the t 'me, we are not in -the least concerned. Jesus 'says that no man knowreth, not even the Father, and this should be satisfactory. The main thing is/to l>e ready when he does come. We have the pleasure this week oF printing a letter from Bro. R. Graham, President of the college of the Bible, Lexington, Ky. As we had the privilege of sitting at the feet of this great teacher for a number of years in order to study the Scriptures, we know what it is to have such an encouraging letter from him. In fact it should be a source of great encouragement and an incentive to greater effort on the part of all of us to know that such men are so interested in our good work on this coast. We know many of his friends here will be pleased to hear from him. Let us all give heed to what he says in behalf of our common cause. * Through a mistake a church in Ky. a short time since celebrated the Lord’s supper with a jug of Old Bourbon whisky instead of wine The deacon made the mistake. We suppose he was much more accus tomed to handling the Old Bourbon than the wine, hence the mistake. The most shameful feature of the whole thing was that after the mis take was discovered the church went right on with its celebration to its close. But as many of these members had doubtless engaged all ,he week in the diabolical traffic it was but consistent that they should consummate their sinful folly by offering it pn the Lord’s -table. _ Once upon a time a Metholist preacher come into the office of an editor who belonged to the Church of Christ and wished to know if the editor thought there was any Methodist Church in heaven. The editor replied that he did not know, he had several important letters from there and they made We have just received a good no mention of it, It is needless to suppjyqf tracts from the. publi say that the editor was soon left all • .. __ »C— John.

As we have two letters calling for an explanation of the announce ment of the annual meeting at Sumner which appeared in the H erald of Jan. 5th, the following card will explain the matter. We will only say that we aimed to print the notice exactly as Bro. Bonney sent it in, and how the mistake was made, and whether by him or us, we do not know. We hope that all is now satisfactory; CORRECTION. S umner , W. T., Jan. 10,1882. Bro. J.
