Testimony Treasures, Volume 1 - Ellen G. White

preparing this uniform world edition of Testimony Treasures.
The Testimonies for the Church published in English aggregate [7]
4,737 pages. There are 1,500 pages of text in these three volumes of
Testimony Treasures, or about one third of the content of the nine volumes.
An endeavor has been made to include all of the articles which have
appeared in the two basic Selections From the Testimonies which have in the
past been published in languages other than English--the two-volume 650-
page edition published in Central Europe and the three-volume 1,100-page
edition published in some of the Latin languages. In a few cases when
paralleling articles in the above-named Selections would result in duplication
or a close repetition of subject matter in this three-volume set or within the
Introductory Spirit of Prophecy Library, such articles have been omitted.
As a rule, articles are used in their entirety. In some cases, however, in
order to conserve space and thus open the way for a broad selection of
subject matter, some portions of long articles are omitted. In each case,
deletions in the text are indicated. Aside from the articles which are selected,
some outstanding paragraphs, presenting vital points of truth, have been
taken from other chapters. In each case the original source is clearly
indicated. There have also been included a few important articles of a
testimony character, dealing with vital topics not represented in the
Testimonies, but which appear elsewhere in the English editions of the E. G.
White books not available in other languages.
The articles will be found in their chronological order as they appear in
the full nine-volume set, with the exception of a few cases where
rearrangement seemed advisable to make appropriate openings for the three
volumes. Subheadings have been added, and in some cases long paragraphs
have been divided. Modern forms of punctuation and spelling have been
employed, but there has been no editing or changing of the text. The date of
first publication, together with the source of the article and the original
