Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

have drawn the conclusion that I have been
prompting Mother regarding what she shall say in
meeting.
It often happens that Mother tells us a few
days, or a few hours, before the meeting, the line of
thought which she wishes to present, and she
sometimes asks me to remind her if any essential
point is left out. Then in closing her remarks she
feels anxious to know if any essential features of
what she intended to present have been overlooked.
A Misunderstanding
Some have wondered if W. C. White did not
sometimes prompt his mother as to what she ought
to say to ministers or business men regarding their
duty and connection with the general work. I will
relate an instance showing what I sometimes do,
and how one good woman thought she had the
clearest evidence that I had undertaken to tell
Mother what she ought to say to a minister who
was under deep trial, and who felt that he needed
counsel and advice.
