Correction of an Adventist Time Rumor

By Editor

A correspondent states it to be currently reported that Eld. J. V. Himes made a statement in Lapeer the past summer that a mistake of fifty years had been discovered in his calculations of the time of the advent, and that the coming of Christ would be delayed for that length of time. We immediately addressed a note to his office to ascertain the truth of this, and have just received a response that there is no correctness in it whatever. We make this statement for the benefit of those to whom this report may have come, as none of us wish to be concerned, however unwittingly, in circulating that which is not correct.
