There is a marked neglect of the cautions and warnings that have
been given from time to time. When there is a seeking of the Lord
and a confession of sin, when the needed reformation takes place,
united zeal and earnestness will be shown in restoring what has been
withheld. The Lord will manifest His pardoning love, and means
will come to cancel the debts on our institutions. [90]
Chapter 17—A SolemnWarning
[Read to the Review and Herald Board in November, 1901.]
To the Managers of the Review and Herald
Dear Brethren,
God’s design in the establishment of the publishing house at Battle
Creek was that from it light should shine forth as a lamp that
burneth. This has been kept before the managers. Again and again
they have been told of the sacredness of God’s office of publication
and of the importance of maintaining its purity. But they have lost
true understanding and have united with the force of the enemy by
consenting to print papers and books containing the most dangerous
errors that can be brought into existence. They have failed to see the
evil influences of such erroneous sentiments on typesetters, proofreaders,
and all others engaged in the printing of such matter. They
have been spiritually asleep.
By some of the outside work brought into this institution the
science of Satan has been presented to the minds of the workers.
The printing of such matter is a dishonor to God. It has done its
part in deteriorating the minds of the workers. The managers have
agreed to print it at a low figure. The gain would have been loss if
the very highest figure had been asked for the work.
I have received a letter from Elder Daniells regarding the addition
of another building to the Review and Herald office. The answer I
make to this is: No, no, no. Instead of making any additions to the
buildings already erected, cleanse the office of the trash of satanic
origin, and you will gain room in every way.

God is not pleased with the congested state of things in Battle
[91] Creek. If the workers were divided and plants made in other places,
God would be better pleased, and the standard of truth would be
planted in regions which have never heard the message. Before you
add another building to the office in Battle Creek, make thorough
