A Voice from Knoxville, Iowa.
BRO. WHITE: As we profess to be lovers of the present truth, as advocated by the S. D. A. church, and are trying to magnify our faith by corresponding action, we are free to express ourselves in relation to the present rebellion of Elders Snook and Brinkerhoff. We cannot bid these men God speed in their present work. Neither shall we bear the responsibility of opening our house of prayer for the advocacy of their confusion. And furthermore, we have no ears to hear them whilst engaged in the work of tearing down the work they have once labored to build up. This is not the first time these ministers have been engaged in scattering seeds of discord among the churches in Iowa. But after their confessions in the Review, that they were blind, crazy, mad, and under the influence of Satan, and that such a course would result in anarchy and universal confusion, we were in hopes this would be the end of their opposition to the truth. We wish to have it understood, once for all, that we have no appetite for their heresy, and no disposition to sacrifice old tried friends for rebels against the work of God. Knoxville, Feb. 25th, 1866. The above comes to us, signed by thirty members of the Knoxville church, besides four who have not yet joined, with a request that it be published in the Review.
