Life Sketches of Ellen G. White
and the solemnity of eternity rested upon us. An unspeakable awe filled
me, that I, so young and feeble, should be chosen as the instrument
by which God would give light to His people. While under the power
of the Lord, I was filled with joy, seeming to be surrounded by holy
angels in the glorious courts of heaven, where all is peace and gladness;
and it was a sad and bitter change to wake up to the realities of mortal
life.
