T rial S ubscribers .—With the
tiryt of January the time of a good
list of our trial subscribers expires.
Will all these let us know at once
whether or «not they wish their
papers continued ? Our rule is to
send’atF papers it44-*-eFdered—discon­
tinued, but we do not wish to con
tifiue any paper unless satisfactory
to the subscriber. Then please let
each one notify us that there may
be no dissatisfaction.
Just as we expected, some of the
denominational papers are making
good use of the opportunity afford­
ed them by the contentions in our
own ranks to injure us as a people
and thus retard our progress of
restoration. It is not enough to
remind these papers that they have
sufficient trouble at home to em­
ploy their time and attention with­
out-borrowing from their neigh­
bors. This is gbod so far as it goes,
but it does not remedy our trouble
We are thankful that these ex­
treme and contentious elements do
not give us much trouble on this
coast, and we write on this subject
by way of putting the brotherhood
here on its gard. Whatever others
may foolishly say or do, let us see
to it, that we give to the world a
practical example of Christian
union
for which we ‘ plead. A^u

«custom, we will issue no paper next

I ‘ President John Taylor, tbeofficiai
A . head of the Mormon Church, is
I preparing an elaborate statement
political ana
B of of the
and social attitude
the Latter-day Saints, for the I wore than over heed the
judge. In our press of business and
somewhat straitened circumstances
we have not been able to bring
the H erald up to that high stand­
ard of excellence we would like ;
but with the aid of the brethren we
hope to make such improvements
from time to time as our circum-
admit. With this additional feature
the H erald will be largely in the
future what it has been during the
past year. The H erald is set for
the advocacy and defense of Apos
tolic Christianity in all its purity
aiid simplicity. It has no com­
promise "to make with sin or sectar­
ianism in any form whether with­
out or within; but it shall be free
and independent in fearlessly con­
tending for the whole truth and in
firmly and kindly opposing what it
conscientiously believes • to be in
jurious to the cause of Christ. We
feel certain that these principles
will be readily accepted by our
readers; and now in order to sue
cessfully present them to the peo­
ple, we must have the continued
moral and financial aid of the
brethren. We expect the paper to
be just what the brethren make it.
Then let our friends at once set
themselves to work for the H erald
as they have never done heretofore
We need several thousand more
subscribers the coming year , but if
our friends will only add one thous­
and new paying subscribers to our
present list, they could set down
the H erald as a permanent and
financial success. Will you do this?
One word more. It is now time
for many of our subscribers to send

generally will be prompt in this

SHALL WE DIVIDE ?
In the Christian Standard of
Nov. 24 th, we were pained to see an
editorial under the heading, “Is
there a Combination to Create Di­
vision Among us ?” In this article
it is stated that the editor has re*
ceived letters from “ prominent
brethren inquiring whether he
thinks the leading editorial ” in the
A. C. Review of Nov. 1st, is a ' feeler
towards the consummation of divis­
ion in our ranks;” and thewriter.goes
on to say that there are “ rumors in
the air to the following effect :’t~---------
That there is already a conjunc­
tion of men engaged in an organize d
effort to capture as many of our-
preachers and churches as possible,
with a view to such a separation as
is implied in the,foregoing extracts f
that the movement—which has been
carefully concealed from public no­
tice, except as it gleams forth in ob­
scure intimations in that paper, and
is practically a secret combination
—is under the leadership of John
F. Rowe, assisted by such men as
D. L. Kincaid, J. C. Holloway, and

greatly improved and the cause of
