Brother B returned to this coast in great darkness; he had lost his love for the truth and his love for God. His natural feelings controlled him, and he was proud. He loved himself, and he loved money better than he loved the truth and his Redeemer. I was shown that his course after he returned to the coast was a dishonor to the Christian name. I saw him joining hands with the gay lovers of pleasure. He grieved his brethren and wounded his Saviour and put Him to open shame before unbelievers. I saw that from this time he did not take pleasure in the service of God or in the advancement of the truth. He seemed to possess a zeal to search the Scriptures and different authors, not that he might become established upon important points of present truth which the providence of God had furnished him through men of His choice, but to find a new position and to advance new views in opposition to the established faith of the body. His researches were not made for the glory of God, but to promote self. {3T 438.2}

Bror B vendte tilbage til denne kyst i stort mørke; han havde mistet sin kærlighed for sandheden og sin kærlighed for Gud. Hans naturlige følelser styrede ham og han var stolt. Han elskede sig selv og han elskede penge højere end sandheden og hans Forløser. Jeg fik vist at hans opførsel, efter at han var vendt tilbage til kysten, var en vanære for kristennavnet. Jeg så ham tage lystige fornøjelseselskere ved hånden. Han sårede sine brødre og skadede sin Frelser og satte sig til åben skam for ikke-troende. Jeg så at fra det tidspunkt fandt han ikke behag i Guds tjeneste eller i sandhedens fremmarch. Han ser ud til at have nidkærhed for at søge skrifterne og forskellige forfattere, ikke for at blive grundfæstet i den nærværende sandheds vigtige punkter, som Gud i sit forsyn havde givet ham gennem sine udvalgte mennesker, men han synes at have nidkærhed for at finde et nyt sted til at give nye synspunkter i modsætning til organisationens anerkendte tro. Han udforsker hvor det ikke er til Guds ære, men til støtte for sig selv.
