Elder Butler's Statement and Steadfast Integrity
By Editor
Our brethren will all be interested and gratified to see the statement from Brother Butler, which appears in the Editorial department this week. The statement reveals the sterling integrity and the adherence to principle which characterize the man. After reading what he says, no one will be disposed to question his love of the truth and his adherence to its principles. Our acquaintance and associations with Elder Butler, which have been long and intimate, assure us that the cause has no stancher and truer friend than he. In the trouble that has come upon him through affliction in his family, we feel that he is entitled to, and no doubt has, the sympathy and prayers of all his brethren. We trust it may please the Lord to send speedy relief to his family, for their sake as well as his, and give grace to hold on in the good way till the crown of life shall be given to all who love His appearing.
