SECESSION.

I WISH to say through the Review that I did not write the notice of the secession movement in Gilboa, Ohio, neither did I ever know its contents until I saw it in the Review, nor did I authorize any one to endorse my name to such sentiments as therein contained. I do not however wish to be understood as intimating that there is dishonesty in this, but rather a misunderstanding. We expect it to be corrected by the writer. I would say, my sympathy is with the Review; that I heartily receive Testimony No. 6, and I expect by the assisting grace of God to pray on, to hope on, daily strive to overcome my besetting sins, and finally stand with the remnant on Mt. Zion.
