With the beginning of this work of publishing, we did not
cease our labors in preaching the truth, but traveled from
place to place, proclaiming the doctrines which had brought
so great light and joy to us, encouraging the believers,
correcting errors, and setting things in order in the
church. In order to carry forward the publishing
enterprise, and at the same time continue our labors in
different parts of the field, the paper was from time to
time moved to different places. p. 127, Para. 1, [LS15].
Visit to Maine -- July 28, 1849, my second child, James
Edson White, was born. When he was six weeks old we went to
Maine. September 14 we attended a meeting at Paris.
Brethren Bates, Chamberlain, and Ralph were present, also
brethren and sisters from Topsham. The power of God
descended something as it did on the day of Pentecost, and
five or six who had been deceived and led into error and
fanaticism, fell prostrate to the floor. Parents confessed
to their children, and children to their parents and to one
another. Brother J. N. Andrews with deep feeling exclaimed,
"I would exchange a thousand errors for one truth." Such a
scene of confession and pleading with God for forgiveness
we have seldom witnessed. That meeting, the beginning of
better days for the children of God in Paris, was to them a
green spot in the desert. The Lord was bringing out Brother
Andrews to fit him for future usefulness, and was giving
him an experience that would be of great value to him in
his future labors. p. 127, Para. 2, [LS15].
Advancing by Faith -- At a meeting held at Topsham, some
of the brethren present expressed their desire to have us
visit New York State again; but feeble health weighed down
my spirits. I told them that I dared not venture, unless
the Lord should strengthen me for the task. They prayed for
me, and the clouds were scattered, yet I did not obtain
that strength I so much desired. I resolved to walk out by
faith, and go, clinging to the promise, "My grace is
sufficient for you." p. 128, Para. 1, [LS15].
On the journey to New York, our faith was tried, but we
obtained the victory. My strength increased, and I could
rejoice in God. Many had embraced the truth since our first
visit, but there was much to be done for them, and all our
strength was needed in the work as it opened up before us.
