Saving u Life.

It is the practice of some writer's Of
serial stories to begin the publication Of
their romances before the end is written.
In the early stages of the story they do
not know any better than the public
who read it how they are coming out"
This is especially the case in France,
where nearly every newspaper has
feuilleton or department. in which
continued story is published.
1t is related by NJ Aureien Schon
that when Paul Duplessis was publish
ing serial romance in The Patrie news
paper he was visited one evening by
Millet, the artist.
''By the way" said Nlillet, after a
little conversation, 81 am seeking bit

Patrie this morning you left the count

EDITOR ADvANCE:-It is fact not
generally known, that Seventh-day
Adventists have an alleged inspired
prophecies in their church. Her
name is Ellen &. White. Seventh day
Adventists are great sticklers for the
Bible; they are governed wholly by
the Bible, so they claim. But some
how they forget to tell the public
that in addition to the Bible they
publish ten bound volumes of the
writings of Mrs. E. G. White, as
being revelations from God. 1t is
wholly impossible for anyone to be
consistent member of their church
and not accept Ellen G. White as
deyinely inspired. "A few quota
tons from works now lying before
me, will give an idea of the place
assigned Mrs. White in the church.
In tract headed "Canright VS..
Canright," now being distributed by
Seventh-day Adventists, I find the
following: Page IS. "From the
very start of this message Sister
White has been intimately connected
with it. Ever since 1916 she has
had her visions frequently, and they
have had and important bearing
upon the work."
"Not move of any Importance
has ever been made in any depart
ment of the work but she has spoken
IN the testimonies supporting it,"
Again on page Is: GAIL the leading
men among us those of the very
strongest minds and the best talents,
and who have had every facility for
more than quarter of a century, to
become thoroughly acquainted with
Sister White and her writings, have
the strongest faith in her testi-
monies"
The above named tract contains
matter from the pen of D. NJ. Can
right, originally published in 1877
in the Review and Heard. Mr.. Can
right has since repudiated Seventh
day Adventism, and has written ex.
tensively against it. They now
publish his former writings as a
reply to his present efforts against
them; thereby approving the posi-
tions taken in the tract just quoted.
Mrs. White herself says, "Testi-
mony for the church, No. 33, page
2os. eff God has given me mes
sage to bear to his people, those who
would hinder me in the work and
lessen the faith of the people in it's
truth, are not fighting against the
instrument, but against God. 1t is

Mrs. White says, "Testimony No.
SO, page 2o5:" "Let none enter
tain the thought I regret or take
back any plain testimony I have
borne to individuals or to the peo-
pie" This was published in the
year 1889. But it comes with poor
grace from one, who for 40 years has
suffered her own inspired testimony
to be suppressed, as is abundantly
shown in the statement.
In Testimony No. 81, page So,
Mrs. White says: "In these letters
which l write in the testimonies I
bear, am presenting to you that
which the Lord has presented to me.
l do not write one article in the pa
per expressing merely my own ideas.
They are what God has opened be.
fore me in vision-the precious
rays of light shining from the
throne"
Thus she claims the very highest
inspiration.
In Testimony No. 33, page ls9,
she says: ''In ancient times God
spoke to men by the mouths of
prophets and apostles. In these
days He speaks to them by the testi-
monies of His spirit"
Wonder if the prophets and apos-
ties revised and suppressed their in
spired writings so that we now have
only part of the original revelation?
Perhaps it was left for Mrs. White
and Seventh-day Adventists to teach
the world that peculiar art.
The suPperessions involve not
merely Mrs. Whites pretensions,
but also impeach the integrity Of
the foremost men of the body, for
without them as accessories the sup
pressions could hardly have been
made.
The powers of hell were never to
prevail against the true church, but
surely the powers Of hell have pre-
vailed against Seventh-day Advent
lists, for they are and always have
been led by an impostor. Had we
space we might easily show where
her testimonies not only contradict
the Bible, but also contradict them
selves. In the foregoing I have
merely given a taste of the strong
meat of Seventh-day Adventism.

tits hardly possible for men to offer
a greater insult to God than to dispise
and reject the instrumentalities that
he has appointed to lead Them
There you have it, simon pure -
those who fight the Testimonies"
are fighting God. 1t is hardly pos
sible to offer to God a greater insult
than to reject Mrs. Whites claim to
inspiration.
The claims of Mrs. White and the
peculiar doctrines of Seventh-day Adj
ventists, stand or fall together. Mrs.
White has been prominent in the
church ever since its organization.
She has been and is now its inspired
leader. I submit this proposition:
The true living God would not per-
nit an impostor to lead His people.
This is evident-it needs no argu-
ment to support it. Has there ever
been a time when an imposter has
been the chosen and actual leader of
Gods people for long period Of
years? Never. Is there any man
believer or infdel-that can be-
lieve that God would raise up
people to proclaim the last message
to a lost world and then permit or
allow that people to be led for As
years by a false-prophetess? l con-
tend that the whole system of Seven
day Adventism stands or falls with
the pretensions of Mrs. White. If
she is true prophecies, then they
are the true people of God-and
vice-versa.
The question of Mrs. Whites in
spiration is of tremendous Importance
to the world. Look at Seventh-day
Adventists. They preach the i'm
mediate coming of Christ-that we
are now in the last days-observance
of the Jewish Sabbath-feet wash
ing as church ordinance-the sleep
of the dead-and claim to be deliver
ing the last word of warning to
world sunk in ruin. Shall we give
heed to their peculiar doctrines? If
they are true and we reject them we
are forever lost. There can be no
better test than to examine the
claims Of their inspired leader. Is
she fraud? Then the whole thing
as system may be set down as be-
ing of like nature.
The proof that she is a false
prophecies, is found in the fact that
under her own eye, some of her
writings are suppressed. The state
ment made by thirty of the citizens
of Worthington, accompanying this
article, is incontrovertible evidence
that she has and does deal deceit
fully with her visions, and knowing
ly deceives the world. 1t may be
asked, why are the above mentioned
passages suppressed?
Undoubtedly because some of
them contain doctrines not now be-
lieved, either by Mrs. White or the
Seventh-day Adventist church. In
the Sixth suppression pointed out in
the statement accompanying this
article, it will be seen that Mrs.
White applies the number, 666
(Rev. ID: 18) to the the ''Image
Beast" This neither Mrs. White
nor the church now accept. They
now apply the number 6e6 to the
papacy. They explain the ''1mage
Beast" to be the United States. OF

SUCCESS.

One of the most common traits
of the human heart is that desire
which each man has of performing
himself the deeds that he admires
in others and securing for himself
something of their success. 1t is
this desire that impels men to
seek out the places where success
full men are, in order that, having
the same environment and the
same chances, they also may rise
to eminence. From this motive
the village boy, who reads of the
prosperous men of great cities.
goes to the city himself as soon as
he becomes man, and the young
European who reads of America
comes to this land in search of
fortune and honor. In fact there
is no better way to attract the am
bilious youth and enterprising

lutte. There is no better. way for a
city to accomplish this end than
through its local: papers. IF. the
paper: has a:neat appearance, is
re adabIe-, and is we'll filled with
attractive advertisements of bust
ness men, the stranger who reads
it at once forms the conclusion
that it is live and pushing place,
and good town to live in. If
the paper is filled with patent
medicine advertisements and has
a sickly look he will steer clear of
the place. Much good can also be
accomplished by sending extra
copies of your local paper to
friends in the east. The GAZETTE
could give the names of numerous
parties who came from the east |
and made their homes in Benton
county directly through this source
of information. Their friends |
either sent them the local papers
or they sent directly to the office
for sample copies.

IT is stated by a resident of
Roseburg that in a private CONVEX
sation with friends Hon. Binger
Hermann stated that he would
not be candidate for congress
again. It would be a hard matter
to find a man who will represent
Oregon and her interests in con-
gress with the ability, earnestness
and with the continued success
and good results that Hon. Binger
Hermann has in the past. That
the people of Oregon ap preciate
his labors is demonstrated by the
overwhelming vote cast for him at
the last election.

foreign countries from the United
States has turned and is beginning
to ebb this way again. Heidel-

OREGON WEATHER REPORT,

w EAI hEPORl.
FOR WESTERN OREGON, FOR WEEK ENDING
SATURDAY, AUGUST 20. 1891.
The temperature has been from
10 to Is degrees day above the
average, the maximum ranging
from 80 to 100 degrees on the
26th, 9th and 29th. To-day has
been warm but cooler. The seas
on of extreme heat is or should be
about over. No rain fell during
the week, the weather has been
cloudless, with fog on the coast in
mornings and smoke in the inter-
ior valleys.
CROPS.
Wheat is all cut and much of it
is threshed. In every section the
yield has been above the expecta-
tons of the most sanguine. The
wheat is plump, heavy and of ex-
cellent quality. Oats are heavy,
and as a rule are large in yields;
late oats have been injured slight
ly by rust In parts OF Marion coun-
ty. The threshers will be busy
for about two weeks vet. Hop
picking begins next Monday; in
some sections considerable dam
age has been done by the lice; in
other sections good average crop
will be picked. In Josephine
county hop lice are not observable
and no damage has been done.
Fruit is ripening rapidly and is
very plentiful. Tomatoes and can
teloupes are now general ripen-
ing. The hot dry weather has
been slightly injurious to root
crops, clover, corn and TO young
orchards. In Curry county the
second crop of red clover is head
ing and the fourth crop of alfalfa
has been cut, each crop averaged
in stalk, % inches in length.
EASTERN OREGON WEATHER.
Continued hot weather, with
maximum temperatures of from
80 to 105 degrees, have prevailed.
No rain fell, the sky has been
cloudless, with smoke appearing
in the atmosphere.
CROPS.
The weather has been slightly
injurious to the corn crop, but
favorable to fruit, melons and to
harvesting. Fruit and melons are
ripening rapidly and are very
plentiful. The wheat is nearly all
cut west of the Blue Mountains,
and considerable has been thresh
ed; all reports show that it is
turning out much better than was
expected. In Wasco and parts OF
Sherman county spring and fall
wheat is somewhat shrunken. In
Gillian, Morrow and Umatilla
counties the wheat crop as whole
was never better. Harvesting is
in progress east and south of the
Blue Mountains. Union county
especially has fine crop of cere-
ais, but al! counties have crops
above the average. Smut is found
in the wheat in sections of Grant
county. Prices are about 20 per
nt..higher than last year with an
upward tendency. Farmers are
happy and prosperous times pre- |
vail throughout Oregon.
