序言{Foreword}Foreword
§2
使徒保罗在弗4:11中列举了圣灵的五种主要恩赐：使徒，先知，传福音的，牧师和教师。安息日复临信徒认为怀爱伦具有先知的恩赐。但她的生活与服务证明她还具有其它的恩赐。怪不得她不将自己局限于先知的工作。她曾写道：“我的使命包括先知的工作，但还不止于此”（《信息选粹》卷一，第36页）。[1]{FH 3.1}
§3
In?Ephesians 4:11?the apostle Paul lists five major gifts of the Holy Spirit: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Seventh-day Adventists believe that Ellen G. White had the prophetic gift, but her life and ministry gave evidence of other gifts as well. It should be no surprise, then, that she chose not to limit the identification of her work to that of being a prophet. She once wrote, “My commission embraces the work of a prophet, but it does not end there” (Selected Messages, 1:36).?{FH 3.1}[1]
§4
怀爱伦的著作可以分为四大类。第一类是主题书籍，涉及善恶大斗争，教育，健康，布道和其它重要题目。第二类是从1855年至1909年的《教会证言》，每一篇都论述不同的主题。第三类是5,000多封信函。但这本灵修书籍的选材来自第四类，就是她在各教会期刊上发表的5,000多篇文章。她曾为所有主要的期刊撰稿，先是《现代真理》，后是《评论与通讯》和《青年导报》，继而是《时兆》和北美的其它期刊。她在欧洲和澳大利亚传道服务期间，也常在当地的刊物中发表文章。[2]{FH 3.2}
§5
Mrs. White’s writings may be classified into four general areas. First, there were her topical books, covering themes such as the great controversy story, education, health, evangelism, and other important subjects. Second, there were the published?Testimonies for the Church?that began in 1855 and continued until 1909, each addressing assorted topics. Third, there were letters, more than 5,000 of them. But this devotional book draws on material from the fourth area—her 5,000 articles in the various church journals. She wrote for all the major periodicals, starting with?The Present Truth, then the?Review and Herald?and?The Youth’s Instructor, followed by?Signs of the Times?as well as other journals in North America. During her missionary service in Europe and Australia, her articles appeared regularly in publications in those places.?{FH 3.2}[2]
§6
在她的先知侍奉期间，特别是在她的中晚年，她几乎每周都在一种或几种期刊上发表一篇文章。她通过这些文章与教会的信徒定期接触。多年以来，这些文章都印在期刊的封面。这本灵修书籍《心声》的素材即源于此。[3]{FH 3.3}
§7
Throughout her prophetic service, particularly in its middle and later years, almost every week an article from her was published in one or more periodicals. These articles became her regular contact with church members. For many years they were printed on the covers of these journals. Her articles are the material of this devotional book,?From the Heart.?{FH 3.3}[3]
§8
这些文章中有许多是专为发表的。有些是她的讲稿。有些是旅行笔记。还有些是她的写作记录，特别关于善恶大斗争的故事。有些是信函。有些摘自她的书。有些则为她的书籍提供素材。她无疑是一位多产的作家。她的全部著作足有10万页，给教会和世界留下了非常珍贵的遗产。[4]{FH 3.4}
§9
Many of these articles were written specifically for publication. Some were transcriptions of sermons she preached. Others were notes of travel. Still others were accounts of her writing, especially of the controversy story. Some were letters. Some were drawn from her books, while others provided material for her books. That she was a prolific writer cannot be questioned. Her overall writing can easily be calculated at 100,000 pages. What a legacy to the church and the world!?{FH 3.4}[4]
§10
这本灵修书籍源于教会期刊上所发表的5,000篇文章，证明了她勉言的多样性。她对教会的领袖说话写信，经常参与总会会议的重大决策，对教会的传道事工负有特别的责任。她有关圣经人物的文章对今天仍富有教育意义。她非常关心每一个教会的信徒。她也经常论述才干，光阴和金钱的使用。她有力地支持本会信仰的各项要道。她的著作始终以圣经为依据。她的文章表明她具有丰富的圣经知识。她强烈提倡读经，祈祷和属灵生活的其它要素，高度重视十分之一和乐意捐所提供的财政支持。她最喜欢讲述基督生平的方方面面，包括基督的比喻。[5]{FH 3.5}
§11
Drawing on the 5,000 articles that appeared in church journals, this devotional book is evidence of the diversity of her counsel. She spoke and wrote to church leadership. She was often present when major decisions were made at General Conference sessions. She had a special burden for the ministry of the church. Her articles about Bible characters are rich with lessons for today. She also felt a deep interest in every church member. She?often spoke about the use of talents, time, and money. She had a strong and supportive word for the doctrinal beliefs of the church, too. The Bible was always the foundation of what she wrote. Her rich knowledge of the Bible is evident in her articles. She strongly advocated study of the Bible, prayer, and other elements of a devotional life. Financial support in tithes and offerings was a high priority as well. And her major delight was to present the life of Christ in all its variety, including the parables.?{FH 3.5}[5]
§12
怀爱伦一生的服务跨越70年。她在1844年17岁时第一次见异象，于1915年逝世，享年87岁。本书没有足够的篇幅涵盖所有的题目。所涉及的题目也只提供一个样本。[6]{FH 4.1}
§13
Ellen White’s lifetime ministry spanned more than 70 years from her first vision at age 17, in 1844, to her death at the age of 87, in 1915. There is not enough space in this book for every subject that might be covered. The topics here provide only a sampling.?{FH 4.1}[6]
§14
《心声》是第二十本灵修书籍。怀爱伦在遗嘱中曾指示怀着托管委员会从她的文稿中汇编书籍。读者会看到她去世以后所汇编的许多其它书籍。若没有这样的遗嘱，许多适宜有益的信息就不为人知了。怀爱伦生前曾从她的著作中汇编发表了许多书籍。善恶大斗争的题目曾几经扩充。《拾级就主》一书是由怀爱伦和她的小组编辑的。九卷《教会证言》也是她编辑作品的代表。还可提到她编辑的许多书籍。因此本书是她生前做法的继续。[7]{FH 4.2}
§15
From the Heart?is the?twentieth?in the series of devotional books. When Ellen White prepared her final will, she instructed the appointed trustees who had care of her writings to prepare compilations from her manuscripts. Readers will be aware of many other compilations that have been prepared since her death. Without this provision in her will, much that is appropriate and helpful would not be available. Ellen White issued a number of compilations from her writings during her lifetime. The controversy theme went through several expansions.?Steps to Christ?was compiled by Ellen White and her staff. The?Testimonies?volumes represent her compiling work as well. Many other books might also be noted. And so, this book is a continuation of her practice while she lived.?{FH 4.2}[7]
§16
【略】[8]{FH 4.3}
§17
As in other recent devotional volumes, most of Mrs. White’s many generic masculine references (such as the generic “man,”“men,”and“he”) have been changed to forms that are less likely to stand out to modern readers. Some of the punctuation has been updated as well, and except in quotes from the King James Version, this book consistently uses the American form“Savior” rather than the British spelling“Saviour.”In a few instances, where a word’s common meaning has changed, we have substituted an appropriate synonym. {FH 4.3}[8]
§18
数十年来，怀爱伦的期刊文章一直有复制重印，在许多复临信徒的私人藏书和各教会、学校及其它机构中均可见到。今日我们也可在网上和光盘中看到。但之前从未将它们精选汇编成一本灵修书。祈愿《心声》中的信息能每天引导读者与耶稣更加亲近。——怀爱伦著作托管委员会。[9]{FH 4.4}
§19
Ellen White’s periodical articles have been in facsimile reprint for several decades. They can be found in many private Adventist libraries as well as in churches, schools, and other facilities. Today they are also online and on CD-ROM. But never before have selections from them been brought together exclusively in a devotional book. It is our prayer that the messages in?From the Heart?may lead the reader closer to Jesus day by day.?—The Ellen G. White Estate Board of Trustees{FH 4.4}[9]
§20
【作者简介】
§21
怀爱伦是基督复临安息日会的创始人之一，兼为作家，讲演者和顾问。安息日复临信徒认为她具有预言的恩赐。她于1827年11月26日出生在缅因州戈勒姆，是罗伯特哈门和友尼基哈门夫妇八个孩子中的一个。[10]{FH 5.1}
§22
【The Author】
§23
Ellen Gould (Harmon) White, cofounder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, writer, lecturer, and counselor, and one upon whom Seventh-day Adventists believe the gift of prophecy was bestowed, was born in Gorham, Maine, November 26, 1827, one of eight children of Robert and Eunice Harmon.?{FH 5.1}[10]
§24
她积极为教会服务70年，著作浩繁，计有10万多页的文稿。单是她留给教会的这份珍贵遗产，也会占用她毕生的光阴。[11]{FH 5.2}
§25
During her 70 years of active service to the church, she found time to write voluminously. She is credited with having written 100,000 manuscript pages. This remarkable legacy to the church could alone have occupied Ellen White’s entire life, had she dedicated her time to little else but writing.?{FH 5.2}[11]
§26
但她对教会的侍奉远不止写作。她的日记讲述了她的公共服务，旅行，个人之工，待客，访邻和身为人母与家庭主妇的事迹。上帝在这些活动中厚赐福惠给她。她的志向和愿望，她的满足和喜乐，甚至她的忧伤——她的整个一生——都是为了推进她所爱的圣工。[12]{FH 5.3}
§27
However, her service for the church embraces much more than writing. Her diaries tell of her public work, her travels, her personal labor, hostessing, contacts with neighbors, as well as of her being a mother and housewife. God blessed her abundantly in these activities. Her ambitions and concerns, her satisfactions and joys, her sorrows—her whole life—were for the advancement of the cause she loved.?{FH 5.3}[12]
§28
怀爱伦以世界上著作被翻译最多的女作家和美国历史上著作被翻译最多的作家而闻名。例如她的小册子《拾级就主》，就已被译成100多种语言。[13]{FH 5.4}
§29
Ellen G. White is reputed to be the most translated woman author and the most translated author in American history. For example, her little book?Steps to Christ?is available in more than 100 languages.?{FH 5.4}[13]
§30
她毕生献身为上帝和同胞服务，于1915年7月16日逝世，坦然无惧地倚赖她所信的主。[14]{FH 5.5}
§31
After a full life dedicated to the service of God and others, she died on July 16, 1915, confidently trusting in Him whom she had believed.?{FH 5.5}[14]
§32
【怀爱伦生平(1827―1915年)】 早年(1827―1860年)
§33
怀爱伦于1827年晚秋出生在美国缅因州戈勒姆附近的一间农舍。她在波特兰郊区度过童年和青年时期。1846年，她和怀雅各结婚。婚后，这对奋斗的青年夫妇先后住在新英格兰的几个地方，藉着探访，传道和出版，鼓励和教导复临信徒同道。他们在出版了十一期不定期的《现代真理》之后，于1850年在缅因州的帕里斯创办了《复临评论与安息日通讯》(现名《复临评论》，是美国历史最悠久的宗教期刊之一)。后来他们一直往西搬迁——在1850年代初期，先到纽约州的萨拉托加斯普林斯，然后到罗切斯特，最后于1855年来到密歇根州的巴特尔克里克，居住达二十年之久。[15]{FH 6.1}

【Biographical Notes Ellen G. White, 1827-1915】
§35
The Early Years, 1827-1860
§36
Born on a late fall day in a farmhouse near Gorham, Maine, Ellen Harmon spent her childhood and youth in nearby Portland. She married James White in 1846, and the struggling young couple lived in a variety of New England locations as they sought to encourage and instruct fellow Advent believers by their preaching, visiting, and publishing. After eleven irregular issues of The Present Truth, they launched the Second Advent Review and Sabbath Herald* in Paris, Maine, in 1850. Thereafter they followed a steadily westward course—to Saratoga Springs, New York, and then Rochester, New York, in the early 1850s, and finally, in 1855, to Battle Creek, Michigan, where they resided for the next 20 years. {FH 6.1}[15]

【教会发展时期（1860－1868年）】
§88
1860年代，怀爱伦夫妇带头致力于把基督复临安息日会组建成一个稳定的组织。这十年也是本会开始强调健康原理的重要时期。教会响应怀爱伦的呼吁，开始认识到健康生活在基督徒人生中的重要性。为了响应她在1865年所见的“圣诞异象”，本会第一所保健机构“西部健康改良院”于1866年开办，后发展成为巴特尔克里克疗养院。[41]{FH 7.1}
§89
【Years of Church Development, 1860-1868】
§90
The 1860s saw Ellen White and her husband in the forefront of the struggle to organize the Seventh-day Adventist Church into a stable institution. The decade was also crucial in that it encompassed the beginnings of Adventist health emphasis. Responding to Mrs. White’s appeal, the church as a body began to see the importance of healthful living in the Christian life. In response to her “Christmas Vision” of 1865, our first health institution, the Western Health Reform Institute, was opened in 1866. The institute later grew into the Battle Creek Sanitarium. {FH 7.1}[41]

【帐棚聚会时期1868－1881年】
§118
怀爱伦分别在密歇根州的格林维尔和巴特尔克里克居住，直到1872年下半年，然后把她的时间在密歇根州和加利福尼亚州之间分配，冬天从事写作和出版，夏天去参加各地的帐棚年会，达28年之久。现在包括在《教会证言》卷二至卷四中的《证言》第14－30辑，就是在这段时间里发表的。[55]{FH 7.2}
§119

Following James White’s death in August 1881, Ellen White resided in California, at times in Healdsburg and at times in Oakland. She labored there, writing and speaking, until she left for Europe in August 1885, in response to the call of the General Conference. During the two years in Europe she resided in Basel, Switzerland, except for three extended visits to the Scandinavian countries, England, and Italy. Returning to the United States in August 1887, she soon made her way west to her Healdsburg home. She attended the 1888 General Conference session at Minneapolis in October and November; following the conference, while residing in Battle Creek, she worked among the churches in the Midwest and the East. After a year in the East she returned to California, but was called back to attend the General Conference session at Battle Creek in October 1889. She remained in the vicinity of Battle Creek until she left for Australia in September 1891. {FH 8.1}[74]

怀爱伦应全球总会的邀请访问澳大利亚，协助开展教育工作，于1891年12月8日到达悉尼。她在接受这个邀请时有些作难，因为她希望完成她有关基督生平的巨著。到达之后不久，她就患上风湿性关节炎，卧病在床约八个月。她虽病得厉害，仍坚持写作。1893年初，她前往新西兰，工作到年底。12月末她回到澳大利亚，参加在那里举行的第一次帐棚大会。在这次帐棚聚会中，计划建立一所设在乡间的学校，后来成为位于悉尼北面145公里库兰邦的阿冯代尔学院。怀爱伦也在附近买了一块地，于1895年盖了她的“当阳居”，定居了下来，专心从事写作和到各教会的巡行，直到1900年8月返回美国。[85]{FH 9.1}

【The Australian Years, 1891-1900】
§184
Responding to the call of the General Conference to visit Australia to aid in establishing an educational work, Ellen White arrived in Sydney, December 8, 1891. She accepted the invitation somewhat reluctantly, for she had wanted to get on with her writing of a larger book on the life of Christ. Soon after her arrival she was stricken with inflammatory rheumatism, which confined her to her bed for some eight months. Although suffering intensely, she persisted in writing. In early 1893 she went to New Zealand, where she worked until the end of the year. Returning to Australia in late December, she attended the first Australian camp meeting. At this camp meeting, plans for a rural school were developed that resulted in the establishment of what became Avondale College at Cooranbong, 90 miles north of Sydney. Ellen White purchased land nearby and built her Sunnyside home late in 1895. Here she resided, giving her attention to her writing and traveling among the churches until she returned to the United States in August 1900. {FH 9.1}[85]

§208
When Ellen White settled at Elmshaven, her new home near St. Helena in northern California, she hoped to give most of her time to writing her books. She was 72 and still had a number of volumes that she wished to complete. She little realized how much traveling, counseling, and speaking she would also be called upon to do.
