Rite about 1908 with Sister McEnterfer, brother
D. 3. dobirsen present, If Flder Fobineon waa present, the pur-
“se"nould be to make @ stenographic report of vhat wa? said,
> avel: report in our Filer,
on one or two cocestons before, bet T met
| that T do not belteve we can place dependence on
“orth from memory of one vho tatkec with Sister
ally when it stands so mich alone. We do not have
t's pen, published cr unpyhlished,that: vhich
statement, ‘The nictrre set forth
e with the picture which we find set
in seasion 4n 1913, Tou
Life Sketches, and! in its entirety in Selected Yessaves, Book 2,
find this reported quite filly in
‘end tng,
It ia mite st vartance with what Sister White has set forth in
meeting certain offshoot teachings through the years, and in con-
ction with this, has expressed her confidence in the triumph of
the message. See such statements as you may find then in Selected
Negsages, 3ook 2 in such chapters 28 "Divine Credentials," pp. “3-71,
HET gone of the chapters which follow,
Yy counsel would be that this statement should not be used, in the
first place because human memory is so wea that absolute derendence
cannot be placed on it; and second, because the statement ts at
variance with the over-all picture which is ziven to us by Fllen
White, T am glad you have uritten to us =bout this matter,~ Please
discourage its use.
Sincerely your brother,
