restitution to the Southern field. This has not yet been done as it
should be done. Every step has been forced.
The five thousand dollars which would be used in adding to the
Review and Herald buildings should now be invested in the work in
other places where the gospel of truth has not yet been preached.
I feel a terror of soul as I see to what a pass our publishing house
has come. The presses in the Lord’s institution have been printing
the soul-destroying theories of Romanism and other mysteries of
iniquity. The office must be purged of this objectionable matter.
I have a testimony from the Lord for those who have placed such
matter in the hands of the workers. God holds you accountable for
presenting to young men and young women the fruit of the forbidden
tree of knowledge. Can it be possible that you have not a knowledge
of the warnings given to the Pacific Press on this subject? Can it
be possible that with a knowledge of these warnings you are going
over the same ground, only doing much worse? It has often been
repeated to you that angels of God are passing through every room
in the office. What impression has this made on your minds?
You have given matter containing Satan’s sentiments into the
hands of the workers, bringing his deceptive, polluting principles
before their minds. The Lord looks upon this action on your part as
helping Satan to prepare his snare to catch souls. God will not hold
guiltless those who have done this thing. He has a controversy with
the managers of the publishing house. I have been almost afraid to
open the Review, fearing to see that God has cleansed the publishing
house by fire. [92]
The Lord has instructed me that those who cannot see the wickedness
of co-operating with Satan by publishing his falsehoods might
better seek some work in which they will not ruin our youth, body
and soul. There is danger that the standard of truth and righteousness
will be so lowered that God will bring His judgments upon the
wrongdoers.
It is high time that we understood what spirit has for years been
controlling matters at the Review and Herald office. I am horrified
to think that the most subtle phase of spiritualism should be placed
before the workers, and that in a way calculated to confuse and
perplex the mind. Be assured that Satan will follow up the advantage
thus given him.
92 Testimonies for the Church Volume 8
The Review and Herald office has been defiled as the temple
was defiled, only the result has been tenfold more disastrous. Overturning
the tables of the money-changers, Christ drove the sheep
and cattle from the precincts of the temple, saying: “It is written,
My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a

den of thieves.” Matthew 21:13. Worse even than the defilement of
the temple has been the defilement of the publishing house by the
printing of matter which should never have been placed in the hands
of the workers in God’s institution.
God’s law has been transgressed, His cause betrayed, and His institution
