Brother Lunt of Portland, Maine, has suffered much in his feelings. He has felt that the spirit which often ruled in their meetings was not in harmony with the message of the third angel. He has had an experience in the fanaticism which has left desolation in the East, and this leads him to look with suspicion upon everything which appears like fanaticism. He has the past before him as a warning and has felt like keeping aloof from, and speaking plainly with, those who had any degree of fanaticism, for he felt that both they and the cause of God were in danger. He has looked upon things in about the right light. {1T 412.2}

Bror Lunt fra Portland, Maine, har lidt mange kvaler. Han har følt at den ånd, som ofte har været fremherskende ved deres møder, ikke var i harmoni med den tredje engels budskab. Han har oplevet en fanatisme som har efterladt trøstesløshed i øststaterne, som har fået ham til at se mistænksomt på alt som viser lidt fanatisme. Han har sin fortid som en advarsel og har følt en afstand fra og talt direkte med dem, som har den mindste (413) grad af fanatisme, for han har følt at de begge og Guds sag var i fare. Han har set på disse ting i det rette lys.
