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.
