CHAPTER 26 FINAL STEPS IN SEPARATION

ON THE afternoon of March 4, 1899, the president of the General Conference read to the delegates assembled in a General Conference session a number of timely messages written from Australia by Mrs. White especially for the conference. These contained most solemn warnings that there was danger that subtle, deceptive teachings would be introduced into the doctrines of the church. “Satan will get up every kind of theory to pervert the truth,” it was asserted. “There are many beliefs which the mind has no right to entertain.” “Satan is still doing the same work begun in the garden of Eden. He is working vigilantly, that men may accept his assertions as proof against God. ... By every species of deception, he is endeavoring to induce man to eat of the forbidden tree.”—The General Conference Daily Bulletin, March 6, 1899. SHM 312.1
