...second number of the Advocate is perhaps one of the best which has appeared during the last few years. The editorials are clear, and to the point, the stories are all interesting and well told, the topics of the day and kindred articles touch subjects of an all-absorbing interest, and the poetry is up to the Advocate's usual standard...
