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

Mrs. White spoke with even more than her usual strength and power,
and many hearts were melted by her earnest appeals.--D. E. Robinson, in
Ibid., December 9, 1909.
Writing of it, she said that "the power of God came upon me, and gave
me utterance, as it did during the recent General Conference held at
Washington, D.C."--Manuscript 25, 1910. She was impressed that it was
"one of the most solemn meetings" that she had attended for years, as she
presented a discourse "accompanied by the manifest power of the Holy
Spirit" (Letter 174, 1909).
"I did not stand before them because I felt able," she wrote later; "I
stood there because of the opportunity to let them hear the message of mercy
that is being given to the world."--Manuscript 25, 1910.
For nearly an hour that Sunday afternoon she held the attention of the
audience. At the close she made an appeal for a response:
I asked all who would pledge themselves to carry on a personal study
of the Scriptures, to find out whether the truths presented before them that
day were in accordance with the Word, to rise to their feet.
You can imagine my feelings as I saw nearly everyone in that large
congregation standing on their feet, thus pledging themselves before God to
search the Scriptures, to find out whether these things were so. The Spirit of
God was present in that meeting.-- Ibid.
Those connected with the courts, and others high in office, have come
out to hear.-- Ibid.
As a result of this camp meeting and of the efforts that followed,
several have taken hold of the truth.--Letter 174, 1909.
