Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

judgment is not becoming. Be afraid to condemn
where God has not condemned. Remember that
your brethren love God, and that they are striving
to keep his commandments as verily as you are.
You have been in the Battle, and you carry the
scars of conflict. Will you not deal merciful with
those who are fiercely assailed?
Mistakes have been made in the work in the
South, but these are not such as to require the doing
of the work that some have supposed to be
necessary. There are those who, instead of
strengthening and sustaining the work in Nashville,
have tried to destroy it. They have given place to
evil surmisings and unjust criticisms. They have
placed a mote close to the eye, and it has obscured
their vision. Nothing but it can they see. If they
would remove this mote, as they could if they so
desired, they would see the glory beyond.
