SOLID SHOT.

Excerpts From Elder Weisampel's " Torch
OF Truth
"This singular view, that infants will
develop and be on trial after they have
passed into the spirit state, is to us one
of the most unreasonable ones of all those
errors which independent tinkerers of
Gods word bring forth
" As We have probably lost our list Of
printer. Subscribers We are undecided
whether to continue the history Of our
Printers Varied Career or not. Shall
know by the next issue; but something of
it will likely be given"
"With the addition of a number Of
new subscribers and the promise of more
we start with the fourth volume Of the
Torch Of Truth. at the beginning of the
seventy-sixth year of our ago and promise,
if the Lord gives US life and health, to put
the volume through in the best style and
as interesting as we can"
"The poor One-mule college to be built
at Findlay, o., il already tagging. The
not near money enough to put up the
they appointed another set of money
beggers to bore the membership of the
church for more money. We have heard
that many who had subscribed have failed
to pay up, and probably never will"
"It was Elder Winebrenner's habit, who
was a slow declaimer, to often put his
index finger up across his nose. A brother
is said to have asked him one day why he
did so, when he answered %, it's n kind
of stopping place to get a new thought
Elder D.Maxwel!, who was fast declaim
er, had the habit of often repeating in a
sermon, My dear and my beloved friends
and splitting little fippeny bits of white
spirtle, to gain little time for a new
thought"
Thanks to all who have heretofore
favored US with their patronage. and We
respectfully solicit its continuance, and
expect to get it from many brethren and
sisters, Notwithstanding the fact that a
certain dignitary in The church is trying
to frighteu some of them out of their per-
sonal rights by forbidding them to sub
scribe for or having anything to do with
this paper. We congratulate tho brethren
that they are not all willing to be cOntroll-
ed by Vaticanic tyranny and animosity."
"a preacher in Dauphin county writes
to US, making an allusion to the Landis-
vile campmeeting of last summer, and
anticipates the pleasure of attending one
there tho coming season. We unite in his
hope, and hope to see falling back upon
the old style of holding campmeetings, SO
that the Lord will not be provoked to
send another rain storm to break up the
operatic concert on the Lords day, or
indeed on any day of the meeting. More
than few OF the brethren attributed the
failures il more good results to the vain
and artistic musical exhibitions indulged
m
"Sore peopl, have such degree of
self esteem, ;.nt will, it SO little discretion
and regard Ior the feelings of others, that
they are always ready to offer their object
ing but to nearly every measure that
is proposed in their presence and if their
simple but cannot upset the project,
then they butt. and try by butting, to
knock it to Ilscss. Il would be well for
such bundles Of irreverent self cOnciet in
human form to think that other people are
capable of thinking Alright and conceiving
correctly as we'll as they may be, and that
they make themselves not only ridiculous,
but also very unlovable by Gheir disposi.
ton to be contrary wherever they can."
