The report of an early
minister that Ellen G. White declared in his presence that she had seen an angel
standing by the side of Elder Uriah Smith, inspiring him as he wrote Thoughts
on Daniel and the Revelation, is seriously undercut by the historical facts.
It is contrary to authentic Ellen G. White statements that would remove Smith's
book from the category of "inspired." However, Mrs. White esteemed
this volume highly and freely recommended it. See Colporteur Ministry,
page 123.
Thought for the Day
As the people looked upon [Jesus], they saw a face where divine compassion was blended with conscious power. Every glance of the eye, every feature of the countenance, was marked with humility, and expressive of unutterable love. He seemed to be surrounded by an atmosphere of spiritual influence. While His manners were gentle and unassuming, He impressed men with a sense of power that was hidden, yet could not be wholly concealed. Desire of Ages, pp. 137, 138.
