These words and the statement which follows that the prayers for "disinterested souls"
lodged on heaven's altar will be answered before the censer is thrown down,
are not from the pen of Ellen G. White, but are the expressions of S. N. Haskell
on page 147 of his book, Story of the Seer of Patmos.
Thought for the Day
Christ became one flesh with us, in order that we might become one spirit with Him. It is by virtue of this union that we are to come forth from the grave,--not merely as a manifestation of the power of Christ, but because, through faith, His life has become ours. Those who see Christ in His true character, and receive Him into the heart, have everlasting life. It is through the Spirit that Christ dwells in us; and the Spirit of God, received into the heart by faith, is the beginning of the life eternal. Desire of Ages, p. 388
