My attention has been called to misstate- .
ment unintentionally made in a previous
letter. It appears the meetings at the
" Bethel" as ihe hall over the post-otfice is
now called, are not Adventist meetings, but
entirely unsectaran in character, and are
established with the view of giving people
whO cannot afford to attend our more fashion
able churches an opportunity to hear the Cos
pei preached. The men who have the meet
lngs IN charge are entirely free from any
sectsrian bias, and in fact are inclined to
question the propriety of putting up denomi-
national bars between Christians.
