Testimony Treasures, Volume 3 - Ellen G. White

Let not works setting forth the soul-destroying theories of hypnotism,
spiritualism, Romanism, or other mysteries of iniquity find a place in our
publishing houses.
Let nothing be handled by the employees that will sow one seed of
doubt in regard to the authority or purity of the Scriptures. Upon no
consideration let infidel sentiments be placed before the youth, whose minds
so eagerly grasp anything new. At the very highest figures that might be
paid, such work could be published only at infinite loss.
To allow matter of this character to pass through our institutions is to
place in the hands of the employees and to present to the world the fruit of
the forbidden tree of knowledge. It is to invite Satan to come in, with his
bewitching science, to insinuate his principles in the very institutions that are
set for the advancement of the sacred work of God. To publish matter of this
character would be loading the guns of the enemy and placing them in their
hands, to be used against the truth.
Think you that Jesus will stand in the publishing establishment to work
through human minds by His ministering angels; think you that He will make
the truth coming from the presses a power to warn the world, if Satan is
allowed to pervert the minds of the workers right in the institution? Can
God's blessing attend the publications coming from the press when from the
same press are sent forth satanic heresy and delusion? "Doth a fountain send
forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?" James 3:11.
The managers of our institutions need to realize that in accepting their
position they become responsible for the mental food given to the workers
while in the institution. They are responsible for the character of the matter
that goes forth from our presses. They will be called to account for the
influence exerted by the introduction of matter that would defile the
institution, contaminate the workers, or mislead the world.
