Testimonies for the Church, Volume 2 - Ellen G. White

Chapter 20
Neglect of Hannah More
In the case of Sister Hannah More, I was shown
that the neglect of her was the neglect of Jesus in
her person. Had the Son of God come in the
humble, unpretending manner in which He
journeyed from place to place when He was upon
earth, He would have met with no better reception.
It is the deep principle of love that dwelt in the
bosom of the humble Man of Calvary that is
needed. Had the church lived in the light, they
would have appreciated this humble missionary
whose whole being was aglow to be engaged in her
Master's service. Her very earnest interest was
misconstrued. Her externals were not just such as
would meet the approval of the eye of taste and
fashion, for familiarity with strict economy and
poverty had left its impress upon her apparel. Her
hard-earned means had been exhausted as fast as
obtained to benefit others, to get light to those
whom she hoped to lead to the cross of truth.
