Foreword
Hundreds of thousands of copies of Thoughts from the Mount
of Blessing have been printed and distributed in nearly a score of
languages since it was first published in 1896. In English-reading
countries several editions with identical textual content but with vari-
ations in format and pagination have been widely distributed. To
eliminate confusion in the use of the volume in reference work, a stan-
dard page has been adopted which will serve as the basis of present
and subsequent printings
.
In several former editions, in an endeavor to achieve a certain
format, selections from verses of poetry were, with the consent of the
author, inserted by the publishers in a number of places throughout the
text. In this edition, only poetry selected and made a part of the text
by the author herself is retained. The addition of both scripture and
subject indexes makes this volume more useful
.
That the lessons drawn from the teachings of the master herein set
forth may continue to enlighten, encourage, and bless mankind, is the
sincere wish of the publishers and
The Trustees of the
Ellen G. White Publications
