she had had two years before in greeting many of them
personally in her own home. "I am very glad," she added,
"for all they are doing for the circulation of our books.
The publishing branch of our cause has much to do with our
power. I do desire that it shall accomplish all that the
Lord designs it should. If our bookmen do their part
faithfully, I know, from the light God has given me, that
the knowledge of present truth will be doubled and trebled.
This is why I have been in so much of a hurry to get my
books out, so that they could be placed in the hands of the
people and read. And in the foreign languages the Lord
designs that the circulation of our books shall be greatly
increased. Thus we shall be placing the cause of present
truth on vantage ground. But let us remember, in all our
endeavors we must seek daily power and individual Christian
experience. Only as we keep in close touch with the Source
of our strength shall we be enabled to advance rapidly and
along even lines." p. 446, Para. 3, [LS15].
Many were the visitors -- old acquaintances and others -who
came to greet Mrs. White during the last few months of
her life. Sometimes she was unable to recognize old
associates in labor; at other times she knew those who
came. Whenever possible, she would converse with them. She
never ceased to take delight in testifying of God's
goodness and tender mercy. For months prior to her illness,
she frequently quoted the scripture, They overcame "by the
blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony"; and
she felt strengthened every time she bore witness to the
love of God and to His watchful care. p. 447, Para. 1,
[LS15].
One Sabbath afternoon, when the family of her son, W. C.
White, spent some time with her, she was specially blessed,
and spoke many words of counsel to her grandchildren. "The
Lord is very good to us," she declared; "and if we follow
on to know the Lord, we shall know that His going forth is
prepared as the morning. If there is any question in your
minds in regard to what is right, look to the Lord Jesus,
and He will guide you. We should bring every plan to the
Lord, to see if He approves it. . . . Remember that the
Lord will carry us through. I am guarding every moment, so
that nothing may come between me and the Lord. I hope there
will not. God grant that we may all prove faithful. There
will be a glorious meeting soon. I am glad that you have
come to see me. May the Lord bless you. Amen." p. 447,
Para. 2, [LS15].
