There are those who are officiating in the great
work who are not walking in the light; some are

watchmen to give the trumpet a certain sound, but

and quenching the faith of God's people in the
messages He has sent to them in reproof and
warnings. The testimonies of His Spirit that would
correct the erring are treated by them in such a
manner as to leave many minds shrouded in
uncertainty in regard to their true origin, and the
voice of God is disregarded just as Satan wanted it
should be.
