A Falsehood in the Literary Digest
By Editor
WE have esteemed the Literary Digest as a journal of truth. We had supposed that it meant to state facts. But in its issue of July 8, p. 22, it states, unintentionally, perhaps, an unequivocal falsehood. After saying, "The Seventh-day Adventists have been holding a great camp meeting in Minnesota," it makes the following statement:— "They have selected this year as the time when the world will come to an end." Seventh-day Adventists have never, through any of their publications, or by any of their accredited representatives, set the hour or day or year of Christ's coming, or the world to come to an end. Their very interpretations of the prophecies absolutely forbid the setting of times. They believe that the coming of Christ is near, even as Christ declared that it was the duty of his people to know (Matt. 24: 33), but further than this they do not pretend to know. Will the editor of the Literary Digest correct his statement?
