MISREPRESENTATIONS.

By Joseph Bates

The following letter, and statement of facts are given by the writer, that honest seekers after truth, and Sabbath-keepers may not be deceived by Elder J. V. Himes' misrepresentations.
ELDER J. V. HIMES, SIR:—A few days since I was shown a letter from Elon Everts, of Newhaven, Vt., dated July 13th, 1853, to a friend of his in Rochester, N. Y., from which I send you the following extract; viz., "Yesterday I saw Mr. Himes. He says, that Bro. Bates was, firstly, the sealing angel ascending from the East. And went about sealing the brethren before he got the Sabbath. And enjoined caution on those brethren not to speak to any body but their own fraternity. And afterwards he got the Sabbath for a seal."
Will you please answer by return of mail, and state from what source, and when, you received the above information. My address, until about the seventh of August, will be at Milan, Ohio.
Respectfully yours, JOSEPH BATES.
