    W. C. White to S. N. Haskell, Jan. 3, 1887

    [Selection begins on p. 4 of letter]

    We have heard but very little about Eld. Waggoner, how he is and what he is going to do. We had hoped that you would see fit to advise him to go with his wife to England. You will find that you will greatly need such a man when you get there.MMM 47.1

    I see that Eld. Butler feels very deeply over the positions taken by E. J. W. and A. T. J. in the Signs. I will confess that I was some what surprised to see E. J. W.’s. articles on the law in Gal. I am now told that I advised their publication. I do not remember doing so, and think there must be some misunderstanding. It seems to me that their publication under the circumstances was an unwise move. As to Jones’s position on the ten kingdoms I cannot feel that it is so serious a matter. It seems to me that there is quite a difference between opening up an old controversy on disputed points of doctrine from tracing out the historical fulfillment of prophecy. It seems to me that I have seen our brethren revise their arguments on the fulfillments of prophecy without doing themselves or the cause any injury, and I cannot see that everlasting disgrace will follow our people if they correct at the very first opportunity any point in their theory of fulfillment which additional light may show to need such correction. It seems to me that when we get where our positions cannot be improved that we shall be in the same condition as the Lutherans, and other denominations that have fossilized and rejected the possibility of improving in any of their positions. Well I am young and need to be taught on many of these things and I hope sometime to be allowed to attend one of our denominational schools and study at the feet of the great doctors. I have not the energy to dig out the truth on the knotty questions all alone as many other men have done.MMM 47.2

    Hoping to hear from you soon, and especially of your plans for the work in England, I am yours truly,MMM 47.3
