AN APPROPRIATE ANSWER.

By G. W. A.

Eld. J. Byington has recently been sending papers and tracts in the missionary work to an old-time acquaintance of his, Myron Breckenridge, of Norwalk, Ohio. Mr. B. is a Methodist minister, now nearly ninety, hale and inflexible. In the lively correspondence that ensued he remarked that he had “supposed that Eld. B. and wife were too thoroughly rooted and grounded, in the doctrines of Methodism to be scared by the small artillery of Seventh-day Adventists.” In the reply that followed, Father Byington remarked that “it was not the small artillery of Adventists that changed his views, but the heavy artillery of Mount Sinai that convinced him that the seventh day was the Sabbath of the Lord.” G.
