The Living Temple Revision
By Editor
It is being reported quite generally throughout the denomination that the revision of “The Living Temple” has been undertaken by the General Conference Committee, and that this book, after being thus officially revised, will at once be put out for general circulation. We are now receiving letters from various parts of the field asking if this report is correct. For the benefit of those who are asking, and of the many who are not asking, and whom we can reach in no other way, we will say that the General Conference Committee has not undertaken to revise this book, and it has not commissioned any member of the Committee to do it, and so far as we know, the task of revising it has not been undertaken by any member of the Committee. It is certain that if this is being done by any member of the Committee, it is done on his own personal responsibility, and not by appointment or suggestion of the Committee. It should be distinctly understood that if a revised edition of “The Living Temple” is put upon the market, the General Conference Committee will not be in any way responsible for its being done, or for the character of the matter contained in the book. And this is equally true of our denominational books in general. The General Conference Committee is not the official book committee of the denomination. We hope that this plain statement of the case will be sufficient, and that it will not be necessary to make any further reference to the matter.
