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
Most effectual is the testimony of our own experience. We are witnesses for God as we reveal in ourselves the working of a power that is divine. Every individual has a life distinct from all others, and an experience differing essentially from theirs. God desires that our praise shall ascend to Him, marked by our own individuality. These precious acknowledgments to the praise of the glory of His grace, when supported by a Christ-like life, have an irresistible power that works for the salvation of souls. Desire of Ages, p. 347
