LETTER FROM GREEN SPRING, OHIO.

Bro. Smith: We do not endorse the article of the Financial Committee, as set forth in Review, No. 21. We receive the name, Seventh-day Adventists, because it contains the two leading principles of our faith: first, the second coming of our Lord; and second, it sets forth the fourth commandment. On the other hand, the name, Church of God, is not appropriate, because there are several churches by that name, and so many by the same name would make confusion. Levi Huber, W. D. Sharpe, C. S. Burton, Jacob Huber, M. Hutchins, Wm. Herald, I. C. Parker.
