principles set forth are, however, unchanging, and they serve as a guide
today.
In this second edition there has been added a few articles broaden-
ing the scope to better fit the needs of the larger group to which the
volume is now being released, and there has been some rearrangement
of the articles.
To give the reader a better understanding of the setting of the
messages presented, the date of writing or first publication is noted. In
the case of material drawn from the E. G. White manuscript files, the
year of writing forms a part of the source credit. The publication date
appears as a part of the reference to excerpts from periodical articles.
In the case of selections drawn from the standard books, the date
[7]
of publication is given immediately following the credit.
As this little volume is now sent forth on its larger mission, it is
with the expectation that its counsels will make a material contribution
toward a more effective ministry of the written word.

the Ellen G. White
