In our editorial notes last week on the second advent of Christ, the word “Father” was put in through mistake. It should have been “Son.” Bro. S. Powell from near Albany called in one day this week and gave us quite a list of subscribers. He makes an encouraging report of the work in his vicinity. A brother editor writes us that he likes the “ make-up ” and the “ get-up ” of the H erald . We sup pose that our brother knows from actuaT experience^ that it requires considerable “ get up ” in order to “make-up,” and that the “make up ” is an essential element of the ‘ get up.” In fact we must have , “ get-up ” and “ make-up ” all around, and from first to last. Our worthy and energetic secre tary of the State Board is working hard to secure an evangelist, and will soon succeed. Let us all be in readiness to welcome him t^ our State. The Apostolic Times has fallen into the old rut, and calls the young preachers and evangelists from the College of the Bible, “pastors” of, the churches. Fall . in brethren^ for if the. blind lead .the blind, all shall fall into the ditch together. Let us crystalize into a regular denomination of the straitest sect, and then we will be gin to realize where we stand, NO. 4. MONMOUTH, OREGON ; FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1883. VOL.

To have the “God bless you,” and the “ success to you in your good work ” from these strong mon of Gcal who know what it is to spend thpir time, talent, and lives in giving thé people a paper, makes ils feel doubly strong for the work be fore us. One of these good editors in congratulating us, does so in view of his belief that we will ‘ hew to the line without regard as to where the chips may fly.” This, my brother, is exactly what we ex pect to do ; and when the chips cease to fly in somebody’s, face, you way set.it down as pretty good evidence that we have quit hewing. The Christian-Evangelist has commenced a series of articles on “ Baptists and Disciples.” The pro positions are laid down as follows : The plan of this series of articles will be to showy^_ 1. That the things in which we an<l the Baptists agree constitute a Scriptural basis of union. 2. That the things wherein we differ have been unduly magnified in many instances, and hoiv they may be lessened. 3. That these differences, re duced to their proper proportions, might well be, and ought to be, made matters of forbearance until such time as w-s could see eye to eye, and lie “ perfectly joined to- getliEr in t.he same mind and in the same judgment.” The brotherhood will now sing a song while “ Battle Flag Ray" and his followers and the Christian,- Evangelist and its staff consolidate. We would suggest as an appropri ate hymn' “Come humble sinners in whose breast a thousand thoughts revolve.” at De Land, Fla. As we love the Old Path Guide and the cause it advocates so dearly we will be re joiced to see the day when our dear good providence of God, to return to his office and editorial work in the full strength of his manhood. As an item of news, in speaking of the Florida Agriculturist the only paper published in the town, Bro A. says; “The fii*st issue of the paper, after our arrival, contained this very important item of infor mations ‘Dr.Frank Allcm a--Canu;L. .
