[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."'

SIR,—" Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end,' He said to men who were shortly to see Him crucified" (Spectator, May 21st). Did He not rather say them to the men who were shortly to see Him ascend? The writer of this very interesting article further on observes that "after the Resurrection we read of few piercing words." The sayings of our blessed Lord after the Resurrection are so much of the same force and character as His sayings before His crucifixion as to form a valuable argument for the truth of this central fact of the Christian's faith. At any rate, the promise of His continual presence is such a saying, and ought not to be misplaced.

[We regret that this unfortunate error should not have been detected in the article before its publication.—ED. Spectator.]
