Errors Correoted.

Remssklamr, March 5,1677. Dear Union; —ln looking over yonr report of memorial sermon in the Baptist church 25th uIL, I find inaccuracies which I should regret to have pass. Speaking of Elder Kerr’s labors there evidently was a sentence left out. It should read “During the first year and a half there were fifteen additions, ten Dy baptism and five by letter. From February 26th, 1853, to January 1856 there was but one addition by letter,” etc. In reference lo the work ot Elder McCreary there is some discrepancy. Perhaps it is sufficient to say that the sum total of members received during Elder McCreary’s pastorate was sixty-eight. I do not wish to burthen you with details as I gave them in the sermon. With reference to the committee to revise, etc.: I cannot think that I said the number was cut down to ten, but I may have said it was cut down ten, for there were ten erasures. This with others excluded or otherwise dismissed approximated the number stated in your report “only twentyfive t<» thirty could be found,” etc. There were other slight errors, but I have decided to let them pa-*, as I cannot see that injustice is done to anyone thereby.

Yours, truly,

D. J. HUSTON.
