Bro. White: As I have not time to address all my inquiring brethren individually, I will, with your permission, give a few reasons of my change of position, through the Review. Perhaps I cannot do better than to introduce an extract of a letter I have prepared in answer to inquiries of a brother. "Dear Bro. D——. You expressed a desire to know the result of the investigation. Well so far as I am concerned, I am nearly converted to faith in the visions. Most of the Brn. in Portland and North Berwick are confirmed believers, or strongly inclined that way. I do not claim that every thing in them is clear to my mind. If I reject them because they are not all clear, then I must reject the Bible for the same reason. But inasmuch as they do confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, and, as they lead to God—to faith in his word—to holiness of heart and godly lives—to unity of faith, and concert of action—to a readiness for Christ's coming, I am bound to receive them as of God. I cannot see that Satan would labor to accomplish such results as named above. There are several reasons why I must think those brethren are in the work of God. 1. God has plainly revealed it as his purpose to gather a people under the third angel's message that should keep the commandments of God and faith of Jesus. Now God in his providence seems to bless the efforts of those brethren abundantly. . . . Now I can but recognize the work as in the right place, in a chronological point of view. The work is in harmony with the past moves and history of the church, and bids fair to fulfill the word of God in bringing the church into unity, and to a state of readiness for Jesus' coming. Now as the visions are one of the instrumentalities God needs to accomplish his work, see Eph. iv, 11-13, I must acknowledge them in their place in accomplishing this important work, in doing which I cannot believe that God will go in partnership with the Devil."
