Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

No business that will misrepresent God and harm
his people will bring a particle of honor to you or
to the cause which you love. The less you have to
do with plans and documents drawn up in
accordance with the policy of lawyers, the better it
will be for you.
In business transactions you have complied
with the customs of the lawyers whom you have
employed, arranging matters in a way that you
think will guard the work in which you are engaged
against the possibilities and probabilities that might
occur. Ought you to be surprised, then, that the
Watchmen that God has placed on the walls of
Zion should also endeavor to fulfill their Godgiven
responsibility, seeking to make all pertaining
to our institutions perfectly secure? The Word was
spoken by my Instructor: "God's watchmen, who
should have been wide awake, who should have
understood the condition of our institutions, have
been blind as to how things were being carried on
by our medical missionary workers in responsible
places.
