Chapter Seven - Linda Kirk 257prove false, she should not have mentioned it because it amounts to gossip.Ernie states that he was not scared simply surprised. It is only natural for him tocare about his reputation, because it reflects on God’s ministry. Should wethrow out Jonah since he “feared lest he should be regarded as a falseprophet”? (The Review and Herald, October 18, 1906) However, Ernie wasmore interested in knowing if the dreams were from God. Who in their rightmind would not want to know?
