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

responded with many hearty "amens."--Ibid., 1909, 378.
"With trembling lips and a voice touched with deep emotion, she
assured the ministers and other workers that God loves them, and Jesus
delights to make intercession in their behalf."-- Ibid. Many were deeply
moved. She closed her address stating:
Brethren, we shall separate for a little while, but let us not forget what
we have heard at this meeting. Let us go forward in the strength of the
Mighty One, considering the joy that is set before us of seeing His face in the
kingdom of God and of going out no more forever. Let us remember that we
are to be partakers of the divine nature, and that angels of God are right
around us, that we need not be overcome by sin. Let us send our petitions to
the throne of God in time of temptation, and in faith lay hold of His divine
power.
I pray God that this may be the experience of each one of us, and that
in the great day of God we all may be glorified together.--Manuscript 49,
1909.
Thus closed the last sermon Ellen White was to make at a General
Conference session. She moved away from the desk and started to her seat,
then turned and came back, picked up the Bible from which she had read,
opened it, and held it out on extended hands that trembled with age. She
admonished, "Brethren and Sisters, I commend unto you this Book"
(reported by W. A. Spicer, then secretary of the General Conference, in The
Spirit of Prophecy in the Advent Movement, p. 30).
Thus, in her last words to the leaders of the church officially assembled
in conference, Ellen White elevated the Word of God--that Word that had
been so precious to her and that she freely used and ever kept before the
church and the world.
