    Opposed to the “No-Mercy” Theory

    J. N. Andrews, who resided in Paris, Maine, in 1844 and 1845, and who was fully conversant with the course of the people there, as well as with that of Joseph Turner, who taught that there was no more mercy for sinners, says of Miss Harmon’s position on the subject at that time, “Instead of the visions’ leading them to adopt this view, it corrected those upon it who still held to it.” 16Letter of J. N. Andrews, September, 1874.GSAM 222.2

    Miss Harmon made a second visit to Paris, Maine, in the summer of 1845. Concerning this visit I will quote from Mrs. Truesdail, who then resided in Paris. She says:—GSAM 222.3

    “During Miss Harmon’s visit in Paris, Maine, in the summer of 1845, I stated to her the particulars concerning a dear friend of mine whose father had deprived her of attending our meetings, consequently she had not rejected light. She smilingly replied, ‘God has never shown me that there is no salvation for such persons. It is those only who have had the light of truth presented to them and knowingly rejected it.’ ” 17Mrs. Truesdail’s Letter of Aug. 17, 1875.GSAM 222.4

    She also speaks respecting a third visit of Miss Harmon to Paris, in 1846, as follows:—GSAM 222.5
