Testimony Treasures, Volume 1 - Ellen G. White

Foreword
The possession of the spirit of prophecy is one of the two distinguishing
features of the remnant church, as foretold in the book of the Revelation.
From the very beginning days this gift has played an important role in the
experience of Seventh-day Adventists and in the development of the church.
Through it the church has been admonished, guided, encouraged, as well as
reproved and corrected.
As from time to time the Testimonies came from the press, they were
eagerly secured, their contents prayerfully studied, and the instruction
heeded. Through the years some of these testimonies have also been
provided for believers who read languages other than English. Largely to
these messages may be traced the present-day strength, unity, and high
standards of the church.
Now, through this world edition of Testimony Treasures, these counsels
which have wielded so large an influence are being made available to
Seventh-day Adventists the world around. It is, however, only by presenting
a selection of articles that it is possible to publish them in this compact,
easily handled, and widely distributed form.
These three volumes present a well-balanced and fully representative
selection of articles, chosen by able committees of experienced workers,
under the direction of, and in collaboration with the Board of Trustees of the
Ellen G. White Publications, the agency established by Mrs. E. G. White to
carry the responsibility of the continuing publication of her writings. They
constitute an integral part of the Introductory Spirit of Prophecy Library--
twelve spirit of prophecy volumes designated for early publication in the
principal languages of the world.
