institutions that are not conducted on religious
principles, and in a most artful manner have led
away the help by promising to give them higher
wages. Physicians have apostatized from the faith
and from the institution, and have left because they
could not have their own way in everything. Some
have been discharged, and after obtaining the
sympathy of others of the helpers and patients,
have led these away; and after being at great
expense and trying their own ways and methods to
the best of their ability, they have made a failure
and closed up, incurring debts that they could not
meet. This has been tried again and again. Justice
and righteousness have had no part in the
movements of such. “The way of the Lord” has not
been chosen but their own way. They beguiled the
unwary and made an easy conquest of those who
love change. They were too much blinded to
consider the right and wrong of this course, and too
reckless to care.
