Chap. 2 - Ellen G. White and Her Writings
A Letter to Dr. Paulson
St. Helena, California
June 14, 1906
Dear Brother:
Your letter came to me while in southern California. For some weeks the
consideration of matters connected with the development of our sanitarium work
there, and the writing out of the views given me regarding the earthquake and its
lessons, have taken my time and strength.
But now I must respond to the letters received from you and others. In your letter
you speak of your early training to have implicit faith in the testimonies and say, “I
was led to conclude and most firmly believe that every word that you ever spoke in
public or private, that every letter you wrote under any and all circumstances, was as
inspired as the Ten Commandments.”
My brother, you have studied my writings diligently, and you have never found
that I have made any such claims, neither will you find that the pioneers in our cause
ever made such claims.
