LETTERS.

By F. Wheeler

“Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another.”

From Bro. Wheeler.

DEAR BRO. WHITE: I wish to say through the Review, a few words to the brethren generally in regard to my past and present position on the subject of organization.

I would here confess that in feeling and judgment I have been opposed to organization as my brethren have been laboring to carry it forward. I have in two or three instances in meeting, and more frequently in private conversation with brethren, spoken against it. In so doing I now see that my influence has been against those who have been laboring hard to advance the cause of present truth, thus increasing their burdens, and especially the burdens of Bro. and sister White. I now deeply regret the course I have taken. I design to profit by the correction I have recently received, and design in future to be found in unison with my brethren in the work of organization, as well as in all other portions of the work of present truth.

I would ask forgiveness of all that have been grieved by my course on this subject, and would say to any that I may have influenced against organization, that I wish to remove that influence, and to invite them to unite with the brethren in this work.

Yours in hope of immortality.

F. WHEELER.

Hubbardsville, N. Y.
