Suppose that Brother D leads the people to question and reject the testimonies that God has been giving to His people during the past thirty-eight years; suppose he makes them believe that the leaders in this work are designing, dishonest men, engaged in deceiving the people; what great and good work has he done? It is a work exactly similar to that of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and with all whom he has influenced the result will be disastrous. He has thought that he could not be in error; but does this work bear the signet of heaven? No; Brother D has indulged a self-righteous spirit, which has almost ruined him. Let him come upon an equality with his brethren; if he has difficulties with them in regard to their course of action, let him show wherein their sin lies. {5T 290.3}

Hvis bror D leder folk i tvivl og forkaster de vidnesbyrd som Gud har givet sit folk i løbet af de sidste otteogtredive år; hvis han får dem til at tro at lederne i dette arbejde er listige, uærlige mænd, der arbejder på at bedrage folket; hvilket stort og godt arbejde har han da gjort? Det er et arbejde der nøjagtig ligesom Koras, Datans og Abirams; og, sammen med alle dem han har påvirket, vil resultatet blive katastrofalt. Han har troet at han ikke kunne gå fejl; men bærer dette arbejdet himlens segl? Nej; bror D har givet efter for en selvretfærdighed, som næsten har ruineret ham. Lad ham komme på lige fod med hans brødre; hvis han har vanskeligheder med dem, om deres handlemåde, så lad ham vise, hvori deres synd ligger.
