Life sketches of ellen g. white

Not long after this, those parts of the building occupied
by the printing business were visited. When the pressroom
was reached, the press was running, and Mrs. White said: "I
have seen this press before. This room looks very familiar
to me." Soon the two young men who were working in the
pressroom came forward, and were introduced to the
visitors. Mrs. White shook hands with them, and then
inquired, "Where is the other one?" p. 282, Para. 3,
[LS15].
"What other one?" Elder Whitney asked. p. 282, Para. 4,
[LS15].
"There is an older man here," Mrs. White replied, "and I
have a message for him." p. 282, Para. 5, [LS15].
Elder Whitney explained that the foreman of the pressroom
was in the city on business. p. 283, Para. 1, [LS15].
It had been a little more than ten years since Mrs. White,
in relating before a large audience in the Battle Creek
church what had been shown her in vision regarding the work
to be done in many foreign lands, had said that she had
seen printing presses running in many foreign countries,
printing periodicals and tracts and books on present truth
for the people of these countries. At this point in her
narrative, Elder James White had interrupted her, asking if
she could name some of these countries. She said she could
not, because they had not been named to her, "except one; I
remember the angel said Australia." But she stated that
although she could not name the countries, she would
recognize the places should she ever see them, because the
picture was very distinct in her mind. p. 283, Para. 2,
[LS15].
In the pressroom of the new publishing house at Basel she
recognized one of these places. A few months after this,
during her visit to Norway, she recognized in the pressroom
of the Christiania publishing house another of these
places; and six years later, during her visit to Australia,
she saw, in the Bible Echo Office in Melbourne, still
another pressroom where she recognized the place and the
presses as among those she had seen in the vision at Battle
Creek, Jan. 3, 1875. p. 283, Para. 3, [LS15].
