After Brother B received from Battle Creek this special knowledge, which led him to take a course to belittle our work and mission, he felt at liberty to join with the unbelieving in the dissipation of pleasure, and by his levity of conduct he brought reproach upon the cause of Christ and great suffering upon his wife. Was he so blinded that he had no conviction that he was seeking to tear down what God was building up? Had he no thoughts that he might be fighting against God? The work which he has been doing angels have recorded in heaven, and he will have to answer for it when every work shall be brought into judgment to bear the inspection of the infinite God. In his blindness Brother B has been lifting his puny arm to fight against God while flattering his deceived soul that he was doing God service. Every man’s work is to be tried by the fire of the last day, and only gold, silver, and precious stones will stand the test. {3T 443.3}

Efter at bror B fik denne særlige kundskab fra Battle Creek, som førte ham til at forklejne vort arbejde og mission, følte han sig fri til at forene sig med ikke-troende i fornøjelsesudsvævelser og på grund af hans overfladiskhed bragte han skam over Kristi sag og store lidelser over sin hustru. Var han så forblændet at han ikke var overbevist at han forsøgte at rive det ned som Gud havde forsøgt at bygge op? Havde han ikke gjort sig tanker om at han faktisk kæmpede imod Gud? Det arbejde som han har gjort har engle skrevet ned i himlen og han vil komme til at svare for det når (444) enhver gerning, i dommen skal bære den uendelige Guds undersøgelse. I sin blindhed har bror B løftet sin svage arm til at kæmpe imod Gud, hvor han ellers bilder sin bedragne sjæl ind at han arbejdede i Guds tjeneste. Ethvert menneskes arbejde skal prøves med i ild på den sidste dag og kun guld, sølv og ædelstene vil stå prøven.
