A sister connected with one of our missions had been reproved for her wrong influence over the young people with whom she was associated. She had encouraged a spirit of lightness, trifling, and frivolity, which grieved away the Spirit of God and which was demoralizing to the workers. When the report came by letter from Minneapolis concerning Sister White’s wrong course which called for a confession there, the relatives of Sister T at once remarked: “Well, if Sister White was wrong in regard to matters in the Conference at Minneapolis, and had to confess this, she may have made a mistake as to the message she gave my sister and may have to confess that also.” And they justified the wrongdoer in her course. Since that time, however, Sister T has acknowledged the wrong for which she was reproved. Those who originated and spread the report have exerted an influence to embolden wrongdoers in rejecting reproof, and souls have thus been imperiled. Let all who have engaged in this work beware lest the blood of these souls be found upon them in the great day of final judgment. {5T 694.1}

"Jeg forstod ikke, hvilken fare og synd der lå i en sådan handlemåde, før jeg i et syn blev ført frem for Jesu åsyn. Han så på mig med et misbilligende blik og vendte sig derpå bort fra mig. Det er umuligt at beskrive den rædsel og angst, jeg da følte. Jeg faldt på mit ansigt for ham, men formåede ikke at sige et ord. Oh, hvor jeg længtes efter at blive skærmet og skjult for dette forfærdelige blik! Da kunne jeg i nogen grad forstå, hvordan de fortabte vil føle, når de råber til »bjergene og klipperne: »Fald over os og skjul os for hans åsyn, som sidder på tronen og for Lammets vrede!"
