ELDER T. W. FIELD, President West Texas Conference, Seventh-Day Adventists.
MR. MONK was a member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church for eight years; attended one of their schools for five years under the tutorship of ordained ministers; attended church every Sabbath during these school terms, besides many more meetings; attended our camp meetings and heard some of our ablest ministers preach-from the president of the General Conference down.…He read much of our literature and spent several summers selling the same. He also taught two terms in one of our schools, and, in doing so, he taught the things that are in our books. Besides, he was a licensed minister for two years, and preached the things he now condemns.—“Reply to J. H. Monk’s Tract, ‘Seventh-Day Adventism and Its Fruits'” (page 23).
To that ever-increasing company of men and women who have found their way out of the meshes of Adventism, to those who are seeking the way out, and to those who may be led to seek such way by the perusal of these pages, this volume is sincerely dedicated. —THE AUTHOR.
