Books Changed Only by Those Regularly Appointed—In some
of our important books that have been in print for years, and which
have brought many to a knowledge of the truth, there may be found
matters of minor importance that call for careful study and correction.
Let such matters be considered by those regularly appointed to have
the oversight of our publications. Let not these brethren, nor our
[317]
canvassers, nor our ministers magnify these matters in such a way as to
lessen the influence of these good soul-saving books. Should we take
up the work of discrediting our literature, we would place weapons
in the hands of those who have departed from the faith and confuse
the minds of those who have newly embraced the message. The less
that is done unnecessarily to change our publications, the better it will
be.—
