A Caution.

Bro. WHITE: I wish to give notice through the Review of a man calling his name Collins. He claims to be a Sabbath-keeper; but we consider him the worst kind of an impostor. I have learned that his real name is Peck. When here, he was selling recipes for curing corns and bunions. We advise Sabbath-keepers to beware of him. E. D. PLACE.

Chicago, Ill.

NOTE. This is an age of impostors. Men will profess to be anything and everything for the sake of a little advantage. We know of no way for Sabbath-keepers to prevent being imposed upon by cases of this kind, except by requiring of every itinerant professed Sabbath-keeper, a letter of recommendation from some church. Let all our scattered brethren find their place in some church, which, in most cases, can doubtless be done, and when they travel, take a letter showing their standing with the church. We hope the time will soon come, when a letter will invariably be required of strangers.—ED.
