Dear Brother:

Some days ago I read the booklet called The Searchlight. Last night I was instructed to say to the brother who has used my name and my writings so freely in that document, that he has no right to interpret my writings as he has done, and that it is wrong to place me and my teachings before the public in the light that his booklet represents them. I forbid the use of my writings in any such way. 25LtMs, Lt 108, 1911, par. 1

Furthermore, I protest against the teachings of the Searchlight as to the method of our Saviour in healing the sick. In the name of the Lord I would rebuke all such representations of our Saviour’s work. 25LtMs, Lt 108, 1911, par. 2
