The Bible Examiner

By Editor

THE BIBLE EXAMINER.—This paper, published monthly by GEORGE STORRS 140 Fulton street, New York, is principally devoted to the immortality subject. We were acquainted with the clear and powerful writings of GEORGE STORRS on this subject, also the Sonship of Christ, in 1843 and 1844. He then had access to thousands of minds, which would not have been the case had it not been for the Advent movement. That movement aroused the people, and enabled many to shake off the power of sectarian creeds, and prepared the way for the bible doctrine of Life and Immortality alone through Christ. Bro. Storrs should highly regard that movement, if for nothing else than this. We can say nothing in favor of his position relative to the Advent movement, or the Jew question. We think he was nearer right ten years since than now. But it is just to say, that the immortality question, as ably defended by the Examiner, has brought many to a position where they are ready to receive the bible doctrines connected with the message of the third angel of Rev. xiv, 9-12.

Our readers will remember that we not long since replied to the charge of "Dishonesty" made by the Examiner. We thought it a very rash course to take to reclaim the REVIEW. We also stated our regret that the date of George Storrs' sermon on the return of the Jews, published in the REVIEW, which was written in 1843, was not given, and that we did not state that he had changed his views on that question, as we had no desire to conceal the fact.

We are glad to see that the Examiner is satisfied with our explanation, and thinks it was "a little too severe" on us. We are fully satisfied.
