A Request to Those Who Write for the Advent Review.
By George W. Amadon
The undersigned, a printer at the Office of the Review and Herald, would most respectfully request of all who write for this paper, to be more careful in one particular, viz.: In their quotations of the Holy Scriptures. As often as every week we have more or less trouble in correcting garbled quotations from the Word of God. Sometimes this is quite an expense, and always more or less perplexing. And it might be avoided, if those who have occasion to cite the Scriptures would always turn right to the place and see that they use them correctly. The proper way would be, never to quote any portion of God's word in an article, letter, appointment, or obituary, without knowing that it reads just as it does in the Bible. If our friends who write for the press will take the trouble of doing this, they will save editor and printers much inconvenience, and more than that, will be innocent of the charge of publishing any part of God's word in a garbled condition. Certainly it is more pleasing to Him to have his word printed just as the Holy Spirit inspired it, than in some other way. Then why should not writers be particular? Hoping these few suggestions will be productive of some little good, we patiently wait the result. G. W. AMADON.
