Times of Volume Two
ix
These many visions led Mrs White to write almost incessantly.
In giving a report of their traveling by boat up the Mississippi river
in 1870, Elder White comments:
“Mrs. White is writing. Poor woman! This almost eternal
writing for this one and that one, when she should rest and enjoy the
beautiful scenery and the pleasant society, seems too bad, but God
blesses and sustains, and we must be reconciled.”—
The Review and
Herald, July 5, 1870
.
What a blessing these many testimonies addressed at first person-
ally to individuals have been to the church. What church member, as
he has read these earnest counsels and warnings, has not discovered
that the problems, the temptations, and the privileges of Seventh-day
Adventists of earlier years are his problems, temptations, and privi-
leges today. We treasure these messages especially because Ellen
G. White herself states in her introduction which opens volume 2:
“There is no more direct and forcible way of presenting what the
Lord has shown me.”
