A Response to an Urgent Testimony

Dr. Kellogg Does and Does Not Believe The Testimonies

 

DOES HE BELIEVE THE TESTIMONIES?

Testimony to Elders —, —, —,dated Feb. 21, 1899, page 7:

"I know that when admonition and warnings have been given, Dr. Kellogg has not despised these warnings and set then aside. He has not worked in order to get rich. The work that is done to relieve suffering humanity is of more value to him than a world of gold. He has gathered in all of the outcast that he can that they may be uplifted and reformed and see God as their Restorer. God approves of his work in this line, let the brethren appreciate this work."

Testimony to —, dated Aug. 5, 1902:

"I was instructed I have a message for you to bear to Dr. Kellogg, I thought, It will do no good. He does not accept the messages that I bear to him unless these harmonize with his plans and devisings."

Testimony to Dr. Kellogg, dated at Elmshaven, Sanitarium, Cal., Nov. 12, 1902, three months and nine days later:

"You tell me that you do not believe the messages I send you, but I know that this is not true."

Series B, No. 7, Sanitarium, Cal., Jan. 1, 1904 (one year and eighteen days later) :

"Thus it has been for years, and message after message has the Lord sent in warning, but the one to whom, they have been sent has refused to hear."

At Tacoma Park, Washington, May 30, 1905, you stated:

"When Dr. Kellogg receives the messages of warning given during the past twenty years: . . . then we may have confidence that he is seeking the light."

In 1899:

"Dr. Kellogg has not despised these warnings and set them aside."

In August, 1902:

"Dr. Kellogg does not accept the messages . . . unless these harmonize with his plans and devisings."

In January, 1904:

"Thus it has been for years, and message after message has the Lord sent in warning, but the one to, whom they have been sent has refused to hear."

In May, 1905:

"When Dr. Kellogg receives the messages of warning given during the past twenty years . . ."

These five statements seemingly represent a very peculiar state of affairs as regards Dr. Kellogg's views of the testimonies. In 1899 he believed them; in August, 1902, he did not accept them; in November, 1902, three months later, Dr. Kellogg said that he did not believe, but you said that he did; and only one year after this you said that for years he has refused to hear; and in 1905 you infer that he has not received your messages for twenty years. Please explain what is meant by these seeming contradictions.
