The statement attributed to Ellen G. White
comparing the asserted rejection of the teachings of Elders Jones and
Waggoner in and following 1888, to the rejection of Caleb and Joshua on the
part of Israel, is not a part of the Ellen G. White writings. It is the product
of another author, whose identity is unknown. Various impressive but incorrect
credit lines have been used in connection with the statement in circulation.
Thought for the Day
When the Spirit of God takes possession of the heart, it transforms the life. Sinful thoughts are put away, evil deeds are renounced; love, humility, and peace take the place of anger, envy, and strife. Joy takes the place of sadness, and the countenance reflects the light of heaven. No one sees the hand that lifts the burden, or beholds the light descend from the courts above. The blessing comes when by faith the soul surrenders itself to God. Then that power which no human eye can see creates a new being in the image of God. Desire of Ages, p. 173
