W. C. White Statement of December 13, 1934
From a Personal Letter
Written to L. E. Froom
Published in Selected Messages,
book 3, p. 462.
The framework of the great temple
of truth sustained by her writings was presented to her clearly in vision. In
some features of this work, information was given in detail. Regarding some
features of the revelation, such as the features of prophetic chronology, as
regards the ministration in the sanctuary and the changes that took place in
1844, the matter was presented to her many times and in detail many times, and
this enabled her to speak very clearly and very positively regarding the foundation
pillars of our faith.
In some of the historical matters
such as are brought out in Patriarchs and Prophets and in Acts of
the Apostles, and in The Great Controversy, the main outlines were
made very clear and plain to her, and when she came to write up these topics,
she was left to study the Bible and history to get dates and geographical relations
and to perfect her description of details.
Thought for the Day
Those who are true to their calling as messengers for God will not seek honor for themselves. Love for self will be swallowed up in love for Christ. No rivalry will mar the precious cause of the gospel. They will recognize that it is their work to proclaim, as did John the Baptist, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." John 1:29. Desire of Ages, pp. 179, 180.
