A Correction.

BRO. WHITE: I have received a letter from a brother in Vermont, in which he takes exception to a statement made in the tract entitled "The Mark of the Beast and Seal of the Living God." On page 12 it is stated that "whenever the sacred writers would point out the true God in distinction from false gods of every description, an appeal is made to the fourth commandment." Then follows a list of texts in proof of the statement.

Our correspondent complains that the fourth commandment is not once mentioned in the texts. The difficulty arises from a carelessness of expression on the part of the writer, and would instantly vanish by a slight modification of the sentence, making the last clause read thus: "an appeal is made to the facts upon which the fourth commandment is based." This would be strictly true, and would leave no room for cavil or doubt.
