Christian Experience and Teachings of Ellen G. White
Of our labors in Massachusetts during February and the first week
in March, my husband wrote from Gorham, Maine, March 14, 1847,
shortly after our return home:
“While we have been from our friends here near seven weeks, God
has been merciful to us. He has been our strength on the sea and land.
Ellen has enjoyed the best state of health for six weeks past that she has
for so long a time for six years. We are both enjoying good health....
“Since we left Topsham, we have had some trying times. We have
also had many glorious, heavenly, refreshing seasons. On the whole,
it has been one of the best visits we ever had to Massachusetts. Our
brethren at New Bedford and Fairhaven were mightily strengthened
and confirmed in the truth and power of God. Brethren in other places
were also much blessed.”
