YES, LET THEM GIVE THE EVIDENCE
The following letter is sufficiently explanatory of itself, especially since it was sent twice, with stamped and addressed envelope, receiving no answer:— MIDLAND, MICH., Sept. 23, 1900. Rev. P. S. Henson, D. D., Editor of Baptist Teacher. DEAR BROTHER: In your notes on the Sunday-school lesson for last Sunday,—subject, “Watchfulness,”—you have these words: “They did not indeed withdraw themselves into conventicles, as some modern Adventists have done, there waiting in their ascension robes for the Lord to come and take them home.”—Baptist Teacher, page 548. The Adventists deny ever having used or made “ascension robes,” and have challenged the world to produce one clear case. You doubtless have this information, or you certainly would not have made such a statement in print. I am much interested in this matter, and will be grateful to you if you will send me the information you possess. Please tell me exactly when these robes were worn. Inclosed is a stamped and addressed envelope. Pastor First Baptist Church of Midland.
