Volume Four
... the messages God has been giving His people (p. 1395).They have chosen contempt for both the messenger and the message, from the time Eld. Jones and Waggoner were given a special work to do for these last days (p. 1395).
... the messages God sends (p. 1395).
I am sure from the light given me of God, the men, some of them who are the main movers in Battle Creek in councils, first need to confess to God their rejection of the messengers and the message He hath sent (p. 1410).
The righteousness of Christ by faith has been ignored (p. 1436).
These men have hated the messenger and the messages God has given him to proclaim (p. 1473).
Some felt annoyed at this outpouring, and their own natural dispositions were manifested. They said, This is only excitement; it is not the Holy Spirit, not showers from heaven of the latter rain....Those who resisted the Spirit of God at Minneapolis were waiting for a chance to travel over the same ground again....
They pronounced in their heart and soul and words that this manifestation of the Holy Spirit was fanaticism and delusion. They stood like a rock, the waves of mercy flowing upon and around them, but beaten back by their hard and wicked hearts, which resisted the Holy Spirit's working.... disgraceful treatment of Jesus Christ, represented by the Holy Spirit. Had Christ been before them, they would have treated Him in a manner similar to that in which the Jews treated Christ (pp. 1478, 1479).
The Spirit of the Lord has been upon His messengers whom He hath sent with light, precious light (p. 1485).
Here is the secret of the movements made to oppose the men whom God sent with a message of blessing for His people. These men have been hated, the message was despised, as verily as Christ himself was hated and despised at His first advent. Men in responsible positions have manifested the very attributes that Satan has revealed (p. 1525).
Finite men have been warring against God and the truth and the Lord's chosen messengers, counterworking them by every means they dared to use (p. 1526).
... the very men whom God has used to present light and truth which His people needed (p. 1526).
Men have come to Battle Creek who have been accompanied by the Holy Spirit; but unless they fought every inch of ground over and over again, in seeking to maintain correct methods, they were at last overborne (p. 1535).
Some have treated the Spirit as an unwelcome guest, refusing to receive the rich gift, refusing to acknowledge it, turning from it, and condemning it as fanaticism.... The light that is to lighten the whole earth with its glory was resisted, and by the action of our own brethren has been in a great degree kept away from the world, (p. 1575)
They have ridiculed, mocked, and derided God's servants who have borne to them the message of mercy from heaven (p. 1642).
The work has been carried forward in Christ's lines (p. 1651).
Men professing godliness have despised Christ in the person of His messengers. Like the Jews, they reject God's message (p. 1651).
You hated the messages sent from heaven. You manifested against Christ a prejudice of the very same character and more offensive to God than that of the Jewish nation (p. 1656).
You refused to admit the truth of the heaven-sent message (p. 1656).
You have most powerful truth to present (p. 1756)
Your suppositions regarding the position and work of Elders A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner were incorrect (p. 1759).
