We have received No. 1 Vol. 1 of a
paper published in New York
“Many no doubt will inquire who are
these persons advancing these views’ and, because we are not among the noted
and well known, may feel disposed to carelessly cast aside this sheet, scarcely
reading what is therein contained. But ere you do so we ask your attention for
a short time. First, it is not for you to ask who we are, nor should you decide
either for or against the paper on account of those who are connected with it;
for in and of ourselves we are nothing; but a fair question, for each reader to
ask is, Are the views as here set forth true? Are they supported by God’s
word? If, on examination, you find them so, then they, no us, demand
your attention.

The truth of the scriptures is the
only rule of faith by which we will be examined. It is our aim to
teach the truth as free from the terms of the times; to teach it in its entirety.
We are not in bondage to any creed, party or sect, but we claim to be
the Lord’s fee men. We recognize one Head and Master – Jesus Christ; and
all true followers of him as brethren. Therefore, we wish our teachings
compared with “the law and the testimony,” and if any view presented is not in
accordance with the above “there is no light in them,” and we shall consider
you a friend. Acts 17 11. It will be our aim to make plain some of the “dark
sayings and parables” of the word, and we doubt not that the hearts of many will
be made to rejoice as they come to see the beauty and harmony of our
Father’s word.”
The subscription price is nominal
being only 50 cents per year. Whatever they claim as a creed, many of the
articles in the first issue are interesting and contain much truth.
