摘自1906年9月19日致G.W.阿玛登的一封信:
我要对你和教会领袖以及帐幕礼拜堂的受托人说,我得到非常明确的指示:A.T.琼斯长老的立场致使他无权使用帐幕礼拜堂。他不知道是什么精神在引导着他。有人正努力用不正当的手段占有帐幕礼拜堂。{PC 330.4}
弟兄们,要保持警惕。持续擦亮你们的战斗武器,就是上帝的道。要祷告、信靠并谦卑地与上帝而行,要让你们一切祷告都是不住的祷告,好让上帝得到荣耀。要以最真挚的努力召集巴特尔克里克最具才能的布道士,经历过早期信息的人,能吹出明确号角声的人。要坚守堡垒。不要让那些已采取立场坚决反对上帝赐给我们末日真理的人将它夺去。{PC 330.5}
我们的号召是:从他们中间出来,同他们分别,应该果断地将帐幕礼拜堂留给那些真实而忠诚的人使用。{PC 330.6}
那些否认了自己的信仰,现在要破坏过去年间他们致力于建设之事业的人,应当明白他们在把上帝的子民坚定地团结在一起的真道上是无份的。你不知道他们会如何热衷于为占有帐幕礼拜堂而行事。但这切不可得到允许。无论如何都不应允许在帐幕礼拜堂里宣扬明显对立的原理。{PC 330.7}
In a letter of September 19, 1906, to G. W. Amadon:
I wish to say to you and to the leading men in the church: and to the trustees of the Tabernacle, that light has been given to me very distinctly that Elder A. T. Jones has taken a position that divorces him from the privileges of the use of the Tabernacle. He does not know what spirit is leading him. Efforts are being made in an underhand way to get possession of the Tabernacle.?{PC 330.4}
Brethren, be on guard. Keep burnished for action the weapons of your warfare, which is the Word of God. Pray, believe, and walk humbly with God, and let all your prayers be without ceasing that God shall be glorified. Make a most earnest effort to call to Battle Creek the very best ministerial talent, men of experience in the early days of the message, men who will give the trumpet a certain sound. Hold the fort. Do not let it be taken by those who have placed themselves decidedly in a position of opposition to the truth which God has given us for these last days.?{PC 330.5}
Our call is, Come out from among them and be ye separate; and the Tabernacle should be set apart decidedly to those who are true and loyal.?{PC 330.6}
Those who have denied their faith, and who would now tear down that which is past years they have laboured to build up, should understand that they have no lot nor?part in the faith that has firmly held the people of God in unity. You do not know how earnestly they will work to get possession of the Tabernacle. But this must not be permitted. In no case should a decidedly opposing element be permitted in the Tabernacle.?{PC 330.7}
