Reaction of a Fanatic—A few years since, a man named N, of Red Bluff, California, came to me to deliver his message.... He thought God had passed all the leading workers and given him the message. I attempted to show him that he was mistaken.... When we told him our reasons and set the matter before him, that he was in error, he had great power come upon him, and he certainly gave a loud cry.... We had much trouble with him; his mind became unbalanced, and he had to be placed in the insane asylum.— Letter 16, 1893. (Selected Messages 2:64.) {1MCP 41.2}

En fanatikers reaktion. - For nogle få år siden kom en mand ved navn N, fra Red Bluff i Californien til mig for bringe sit budskab. . . . Han mente at Gud havde givet de ledende medarbejdere og givet ham budskabet. Jeg forsøgte at vise ham, at han var gået fejl. . . . Da vi fortalte ham vore begrundelser og bragte sagen frem for ham, at han var faret vild, var en stor kraft kommet over ham, og han gav visselig et højt råb. . . . . Vi havde mange problemer med ham, hans sind kom ud af balance, og han skulle placeres på en sindssygeanstalt. - Brev 16, 1893. (2SM 64.)
