DEAR BRN. OF THE PUBLISHING COMMITTEE:—

From Bro. Miles.

DEAR BRN. OF THE PUBLISHING COMMITTEE:—

We have received two numbers of the "Messenger of Truth." In them we find some statements and if they are true, we as a church would like to know it. You have stated in the Review, No. 13, that if any brother or sister wished an explanation of any of their statements, they could obtain it by addressing the Publishing Committee. One statement from the "Messenger" is, that quite a number of members in Michigan, have been disfellowshiped for not believing Sr. White's visions; also that the Sabbath-keepers are making the visions a test of fellowship. If these things are so, we would like to know it; for we have not so understood it. We have ever, and do yet, understand that the Bible alone should be our rule of faith and practice; for by it we are to be judged. If these reports are true, we fear the consequences; for there are quite a number of readers of the Review in this region, who might see the truth, had not these reports reached their earsbut how it will turn with them now, we know not, We feel that all we do, should be done to the glory of God, and in accordance to his Word.
Yours truly, from the church. A. MILES.
Plainfield, Will Co., Ill., Nov., 1854.
