An Open le,,.r to Rev. Hoy,.

Rev. Mr.. Hoyt, Dear Sir Your two
sermons on the Sabbath question and
your article in this INDEPENDENT have
caused me to feel anxiety for your people.
Your efforts to sustain Sunday as the
Sabbath are leading you away from the
bible and from Christ and even from your
own church standards.
Christ says Of the decalogue. Whose
ever shall break one OF these least COM
mandments and teach men 80 shall be
called the least in the kingdom of heav-
en-" Mat. 5: 1919. James says Whose
ever shall keep the whole law and yet
offend in one point is guilty Of all
James 2: 10-11. Thus when you teach
that the ten commandments are abrogat-
ed that Christians can break one Of them
you are opposing Chriet and the dis
ciplee. The Baptist church Manuel,
article II, Page So. says: I'VE believe
that the law Of God is the eternal and
unchangible rule Of his moral govern
ment."
He that turneth away his ear from
hearing the law even his prayer shall be
an abomination." Prov. $50. beg OF
not to lead your people to this condition.
Tract No. Ga. Of the American Baptist
publication society says: To prove that
the ten commandments are finding let
any person read them one by one aud ask
his own conscience as he reads whether
it would be sin to break them. Is this or
any part OF it the liberty Of the Gospel?
Every conscience that is not scared with
a hot iron must answer in the negative"
In harmony with this the apostle says
do we then make void the law through
faith. God forbid. yea we establish the
law Rom. 3: 81. Your church has stood
right. on this great principle and when
light comes to you on one OF the com
mandments and you find that your
practice must be changed in order to
meet the requirements Of that command
ment do not, plead with you risk your
souls salvation by turning away your ear
from hearing the law"
Inlove. j. D. PEGG.

EDITOR OF THE INDEPENDENT ::

EDITOR OF THE INDEPENDENT
In your last issue I notice in Rev.
Hoyt's article concerning Adventists the
following THE disappointment Of the
adventists time and again in setting the
date for the end of the world have clear
ly demonstrated their folly"
have been connected with this people
for nearly forty years and am positive
that nothing OF the kind ever occurred
among our people. The article was
quotation from D. NJ. Canright. I have
been personally acquainted with Mr..
Canright for thirty eight years and have
often heard him say that Seventh Day
Adventists have never set the time for
the end. have publications from his pen
declaring as much.
When Mr.. Canright came back to us
after one Of his spurts before. he wrote out
confession and it was published at his
request in the Review and Herald. In
this confession he declared that he was
sure that the Adventists were right in
all points of faith that to abandon the
faith was to be lost and he farther stated
that he fully believed Mrs. White to have
been guided by God, thus sanctioning
her testimony to him. His book is mis-
leading in every way and any one to read
the quotations given and then read the
books from which the extracts are taken
will see clearly that the book is the work
of man who is mad and who wilfully
misrepresents the Seventh Day Adven-
fists.
Mr. Hoyt may be honest enough in his
use of the book but we are sure no honest
man would so represent the Seventh
Day Adventists when the facts are be-
fore him.

Comparison.

There has been an attempt to prove
that the exorbitant charges OF Superin-
tendent Robson were less than McGinty
or Condit his predecessors. Let us see.
Salary Of McGinty. 1880 =. 81 ,129 co
Salary Of Condit, 1891 81 ,194 76
These were paid in county warrants
which were sold at 10 cents on the dollar.
while by new law Robson was paid in
cash. Thus we have the following com
parison, assuming that McGinty and
Condit realized 75 per cent. on their
warrants:
Cash Salary OF Robson, 1892. 1918 SO
Cash Salary OF McGinty, 1889. .sS46 10
Cash Salary OF Condit, 1891. >. $3.50 %
Again it has been made to appear that
the sum Of wages received by Mr.. Robi-
son go far in '93 would only bring his '93
salary up to s74240. Mr.. Robson has
been away 4 portion OF the year, and Mr..
Anderson has served in his stead. Let us
compare their bills presented to the com.
missioners October LIST:
@. o. ANDERSON ga days.. $40 90
+. W. ROBIS0N t54 days.. ... S241 so
AT this rate Mr.. Robson would bring
his bills something over 81 300 per year.
We know Mr.. Anderson well enough to
assure taxpayers that his bills will not
be over sTo0 per year. ard those who are
acquainted with the two men Of course
know their relative qualifications.
