Correction.

By John Nevins Andrews

A LETTER from brother Lunt of Portland, Me., states that a person by the name of Langarl has caused trouble to the brethren in that vicinity. He writes that Mr. L. represents me as laboring in connection with himself, and as sympathizing with his peculiar views, especially in opposition to the visions of sister White. In reply I have only to say that this statement is entirely unfounded. Mr. L. came into our meeting at Somerville, Mass., and near its close made a few remarks. After meeting he informed us who he was, and expressed a wish to have an interview with me. He accordingly called a few days after and spent several hours in giving his views. I soon discovered the fact that it would be useless to attempt to change his mind. But as he was an elderly man and a stranger, I endeavored to treat him with courtesy. I did distinctly enter my protest against his views of the non-resurrection of the wicked, the spiritual second advent, &c. &c. At the close of this interview he expressed his disbelief of our views of the two-horned beast, and said that they were cherished simply because of the visions, or something to that effect. I replied, as nearly as I can now recollect, that I believed in the visions, but that I did not consider them the foundation of that view. J. N. A. Pompey, Onondaga Co., N. Y., July, 23, 1860.
