all in His strength. p. 265, Para. 3, [LS15].
"My sickness has taught me my own weakness, and my
Saviour's patience and love, and His power to save. When
passing sleepless nights, I have found hope and comfort in
considering the forbearance and tenderness of Jesus toward
His weak, erring disciples, and remembering that He is
still the same,--unchangeable in mercy, compassion, and
love. He sees our weakness, He knows how we lack faith and
courage; yet He does not cast us off. He is pitiful and of
tender compassion toward us. p. 266, Para. 1, [LS15].
"I may fall at my post before the Lord shall come; but
when all that are in their graves shall come forth, I
shall, if faithful, see Jesus, and be made like Him. Oh,
what joy unspeakable, to see Him whom we love,--to see Him
in His glory who so loved us that He gave Himself for us,-to
behold those hands once pierced for our redemption,
stretched out to us in blessing and welcome! What will it
matter though we toil and suffer here, if we may only
attain to the resurrection of life! We will patiently wait
till our time of trial ends, and then we shall raise the
glad shout of victory." p. 266, Para. 2, [LS15].

Writing and Speaking
"From Washington Territory and from the East," wrote Mrs.
White from her Healdsburg, Cal., home March 26, 1883, "come
urgent requests that I attend the campmeetings. . . . I am
now engaged in important writing that I have for six years
been trying to accomplish. Year after year I have broken
away from this work to attend campmeetings. . . . p. 267,
Para. 1, [LS15].
"The last two summers I was brought very near to the gates
of death, and as I felt that it might please the Lord to
let me rest in the grave, I had most painful regrets that
my writings were not completed. In the providence of God my
life is spared, and my health once more restored. I thank
the Lord for His mercy and loving kindness to me. I have
felt ready to go east or west, if my duty were made plain;
but in answer to my prayer, 'Lord, what wilt Thou have me
to do?' the answer comes to me, 'Rest in peace until the
Lord bids you go.' p. 267, Para. 2, [LS15].
