Remarks

The editor of the Millennial Star makes the following remarks, upon the proceedings of the English Conference, the minutes of which appear in this number of our paper:

"We have been under the necessity this month of adding a supplement, but we trust that the importance of the matter which fills our pages will be an apology for that, as well as the late period of getting it out of press.

We trust that the hearts of the saints generally will be encouraged by the contemplation of the great principle of progression in the kingdom of God,-a principle that should never be absent from their minds, and we think that the contents of our present number will make it manifest, that this principle is not extinct in the hearts of the people of the Lord.

We would earnestly direct the attention of all to the important business that has been brought before the General Conference, and to the measures there decided upon. It has been a source of grief to many, to witness the energies of the saints completely thrown away, and frequently to support those who are our oppressors, but we anticipate that such a union as that contemplated and carried into effect by faithful men, under the blessing of the Lord, will be a source from which many advantages will be derived-Let but the people of God be united, and the Lord will pour out his blessings upon them; let them learn the grand secret of oneness in the cause of truth, and they will stand amazed at the success that will crown all their efforts.

Let the watchword of the church be onward, there is no retreat; they that adhere to the principles of truth must advance, there can be no retrograde [retrograde] movement amongst the saints but to fall away from the kingdom of God.

Let the hearts of the saints then be enlarged, let their minds expand, and let them be prepared for the great things that await them in the future.
