Converted to Man Rather Than Christ—Four years ago there was an effort made by Elder _____ in _____, and the people turned out in a wonderful manner to hear. If right plans had been made there might have been many souls brought to truth. Brother _____ was not working in the right lines, his main purpose was to get the largest kind of congregation by fanciful preaching, which differed vastly from the preaching of John, the forerunner of Christ. Many signed the covenant, but when he left it was demonstrated that they believed in _____, were attracted to the man and not to Jesus Christ. Many who signed the covenant were unconverted, and when left alone they withdrew their names.—Letter 79, 1893. {Ev 330.4}

Snarere omvendt til mennesker end til Kristus. - For fire år siden gjorde ældre ___ i ___ nogle bestræbelser for, og folk må vende sig om på en forunderlig måde for at høre. Hvis der var lagt de rigtige planer, ville der være mange sjæle som var bragt til sandheden. (331) Bror ___arbejdede ikke i de rigtige linier, hans hovedformål ved at få den største menighedsforsamling ved en fantasifuld forkyndelse, som adskilte sig langt fra Johannes' forkyndelse, Jesu forløber. Mange har underskrevet aftalen, men da han rejste blev det tilkendegivet at de troede på ___, var tiltrukket mennesket og ikke Jesus Kristus. Mange som underskrev aftalen var ikke omvendte, og da de var alene tilbage trak de deres navne tilbage. - Brev 79, 1893.
