  39. The reader is referred to Schwarz, Lightbearers, pp. 183-197 for an overview of the problem. Waggoner admitted his mistake in the Signs in "The Gospel in the Book of Galatians," p. 4. Schwarz mentions that Butler had the impression that he was infallible, Lightbearers, pp. 186, 189. Ellen White wrote Butler a letter found in Testimonies to Ministers, pp. 297-300, that rebukes him for trying to mold the work to his mind. She also warned him that if he and others did not change their course they would not recognize the latter rain and loud cry when it came. [Return to Text]

  90. This idea of a "wall of separation" between the Jews and the rest of the world was held by Butler, "The Law in Galatians," p. 8; By Smith, The Two Covenants, pp. 22, 23. There was a great difference of opinion on the interpretation of Ephesians 2:13-15. Both Jones and Waggoner believed that the "wall" first included the enmity of sin in the heart of man then the division between the Jews and the Gentiles. Alonzo T. Jones wrote a clear description of their views in, "The Three Angel's Messages," lessons given in the General Conference Bulletin of 1895, reprint, (Angwin, Calif.: Pacific Union College Press, 1977), pp. 192-194.
