The New York Tribune remarks: "The

CANT way of living, has Infected every town
and farm neighborhood in the Northern

The sect of Seventh Day Adveulisis, which
has its headquarters at Battle Greek, Mich,
| has experienced a considerable shock, of
| which the conseq uences may be serious. The
| widow of the late acknowledged leader of
| the sect, Elder White, has hadsa vision in
which it was revealed TO her that the editor
and the manager of the ReoieW and Herald,
| thu organ of the sect, are guilty of worldli-
ness and hence unfit for the important posi-
| tions which they occupy. The situation is
an embarrassing one. To disregard the
| revelation would be tempting Providence,
but on the other hand, it might be extremely
| announcement if the widow White should be
directly encouraged 20 go on having visions.
The decision will be eagerly looked for.
