It is remarkable, and instructive, to note how the spirit of opposition to this gift in the remnant church leads men to miss the plainest of facts. Here is a word from one who turned from the movement and began to attack the writings and work of the Spirit of prophecy, as manifested through Mrs. E. G. White.
