A CORRECTION.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.")

SIE,—While thanking you for your notice of "The Oracles in the New Testament" last week, will you let me say that I had there pointed out the fact that 'EprSueros The Coming One as The Christ is anarthrous as is XincrTós? "One is a title as much as the other." The latter is virtually a participle as the former. And if in 2 John 7 you require with most scholars the article before 'EpxOusvov, you inculpate "St. John," who there uses both the titles Christos and Erchomenos without the article. The scholars are wrong in not having seen that Erchomenos is a title and anarthrous. Thus you quite misrepresent me.—I am, Sir, Ice., Hindhead. E. C. Sztwyn.
