"Chapter 17—A Solemn Warning [Read to the Review and Herald Board in November, 1901.] To the Managers of the Review and Herald Dear Brethren, God's design in the establishment of the publishing house at Battle Creek was that from it light should shine forth as a lamp that burneth. This has been kept before the managers. Again and again they have been told of the sacredness of God's office of publication and of the importance of maintaining its purity. But they have lost true understanding and have united with the force of the enemy by consenting to print papers and books containing the most dangerous errors that can be brought into existence. They have failed to see the evil influences of such erroneous sentiments on typesetters, proofreaders, and all others engaged in the printing of such matter. They have been spiritually asleep. 8T 90"
Direct citation 90% Matthew 5:14
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."
The EGW passage explicitly uses the metaphor of light shining forth, directly referencing the idea of being a light to the world, as in Matthew 5:14. The EGW passage states that 'light should shine forth as a lamp that burneth' from the publishing house, which is a clear allusion to the concept in Matthew 5:14.
"By some of the outside work brought into this institution the science of Satan has been presented to the minds of the workers. The printing of such matter is a dishonor to God. It has done its part in deteriorating the minds of the workers. The managers have agreed to print it at a low figure. The gain would have been loss if the very highest figure had been asked for the work. 8T 90.2"
Related principle 85% 1 Corinthians 10:20
"But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils."
Both passages warn against associating with or participating in activities related to evil or demonic influences. 1 Corinthians 10:20 warns against having fellowship with devils, while the EGW passage warns against printing material that presents 'the science of Satan,' which is seen as a dishonor to God and detrimental to the workers.
