Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

keep straight ahead. If you neglect your own work
to criticize and condemn the work given someone
else, much time and effort will be required to
recover what you have lost. Thus trials are created
that need never exist. We are simply to follow our

trial. No one can leave his place without suffering
the ensuing confusion.
Opposition Against Making
Nashville a Center
In a meeting presented before me for three
successive nights while I was in Fresno, I saw that
there was a confederacy, as it were, of men in
Nashville who were united in sentiment, and who
were sustained by some of the brethren in
Graysville. The wicked work of this confederacy
was laid open before me. There are several who
have never been reconciled to the plan of making
Nashville a center. I could mention names, but will
not do so now. The Lord knows their names, and
he can not endorse their works.
