第十五辑 一八六八年
前言
弟兄姐妹不大会料到本辑证言这么快就问世。但我手头有许多给个人的证言,其中有一些发表在下面。要表达我对于一般危险和错误的看法,和爱上帝并守衪诫命之人的责任,最好的办法就是发表这些证言。这也许是传达上帝对我指示的最直接有力的方法。【2T.9.1】
第十四辑证言似乎很需要在总会召开之前数天送到你手中。因此我还没来得及为它补充重要的材料,它就赶紧付印了,所以无法把这些材料安插到第十四辑证言中去。现在我手头既然已经有了充足的材料可编为第十五辑证言,就把它交给你。求上帝的福气伴随着它,使衪所爱的子民从中获益。【2T.9.2】
My brethren and sisters will hardly expect this number of my Testimonies so soon. But I had many personal testimonies on hand, some of which are given in the following pages. And I know of no better way to present my views of general dangers and errors, and the duty of all who love God and keep His commandments, than by giving these testimonies. Perhaps there is no more direct and forcible way of presenting what the Lord has shown me. {2T 9.1}
It seemed important that No. 14 should reach you several days before the General Conference. Therefore that number was hastened through the press before I could find time to prepare important matter designed for it. In fact, there was not room for this matter in No. 14. Therefore, having on hand matter sufficient for No. 15, I present it to you with the prayer that the blessing of God will attend it for the good of His dear people. {2T 9.2}
