MR No. 1424—Wrong Use of Writings Protested

(Written October 10, 1911, from Sanitarium, California, to “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. 20MR 16.1

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.—Letter 108, 1911. 20MR 16.2
