[From Ellen G. White’s last direct message to the church]
(3TT 443.1)
I do not expect to live long. My work is nearly done.... I do not think I shall have more Testimonies for our people. Our men of solid minds know what is good for the uplifting and upbuilding of the work. But with the love of God in their hearts, they need to go deeper and deeper into the study of the things of God.—The Review and Herald, April 15, 1915.
(3TT 443.2)
In reviewing our past history, having traveled over every step of advance to our present standing, I can say, Praise God! As I see what the Lord has wrought, I am filled with astonishment, and with confidence in Christ as leader. We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.—1915, Life Sketches of Ellen G. White, 196.
