No doubt the S. D. Adventists on the one hand, and Eld. Miles Grant and some of his law-abolished friends on the other, are both acting a part in reference to the following emphatic declaration of Scripture:—“Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”
Here are two distinct classes. One are commandment-keepers, the other commandment-breakers. And it is a very natural inference that the latter make and love lies concerning the former. It also appears that while some are manufacturing, others are peddling. But the case of the editor of the Crisis seems to be of that incurable sort, or his love for some false and slanderous statement concerning Seventh-day Adventists is so intense, that he will not quit after being repeatedly corrected in a public manner during the period of many years.
