We have everything to be thankful for.”—The General Conference Bulletin, 1893, 24 (see Life Sketches, 196; Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 31). Again, in 1907 she wrote: “The church is to increase in activity and to enlarge her bounds....

This would bring no light and spiritual freedom, but discouragement. I felt deeply moved by the Spirit of the Lord Sabbath afternoon [Oct. 13, 1888] to call the minds 285
