A paragraph selected from a letter of one of Mrs. White's secretaries, expressing his opinion as to the importance
of studying the question of the 144,000, has been presented in certain printed
works as of Ellen G. White origin. See Selected Messages, book 1, pp.
174, 175, for the Ellen G. White position.
Thought for the Day
Selfishness prevents us from beholding God. The self-seeking spirit judges of God as altogether such a one as itself. Until we have renounced this, we cannot understand Him who is love. Only the unselfish heart, the humble and trustful spirit, shall see God as "merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth." Exodus 34:6. Desire of Ages, p. 302
