The Later Elmshaven Years: 1905-1915 (vol. 6) - Ellen G. White

In my work, I am connected with my helpers, and I am also connected
and in close touch with my Instructor and other heavenly intelligences.
Those who are called of God should be in touch with Him through the

I cannot always say "I." I am not accustomed to doing so. Without the
special light and grace of Christ, I can do nothing. Furthermore, I am
connected with my workers. During the night season I am often deeply
impressed with representations passing before me, and usually, whatever the
hour of the night may be, I arise at once, and write out the instruction that
has been given me. This manuscript is placed in the hands of one of my
copyists, who makes several copies on the typewriter. Then it is returned to
me, and I carefully read it over to see if it is all correct. Matter written for
publication is sometimes sent direct to one of our periodicals, and sometimes
laid aside with other matter to be published later in book form or in some
other way.
This is one reason why I often say "we." My helpers and I are coworkers
in sending out the light given me to be a blessing to the world.--
