MR No. 338 - Elder J. N. Andrews and His Work
§3
我想，这些朋友是出于好意送我这件礼物；现在我有权以一种让他们将财富存在天上的方式来使用这个礼物。我便去找一位守安息日的商人，对他说：“不管能卖多少钱，请把这条裙子卖了。”他卖了五十美元。然后我把这些钱用在这里的传道工作。我当时的这个举动激励了其他人的奉献。安德鲁斯弟兄回信说，他们所需要的资金此时已到位。（《文稿》1885年14号，〈在欧洲会议上的讲话〉1885年9月20日）{5MR435.1}[1]
§4
Now, I thought, these friends, out of the kindness of their hearts, have made me this present; now it is my privilege to use that gift in such a way that they may lay up treasure in heaven. I went to one of our merchants, a Sabbathkeeper, and said, Sell that dress for all you can get for it. He sold it for fifty dollars. Then I sent that money on here to the mission. The very act of my doing that brought in at that very time means from other individuals, and Brother Andrews wrote back to us that the very sum he wanted came at that time.--Manuscript 14, 1885. (Talk Before the European Council, September 20, 1885.) {5MR 435.1}[1]
§5
安德鲁斯长老在赶牛的时候携带着圣经，常常拿出来读上一段，然后思考，同时继续工作。他就是这样认识了圣经和上帝对人类的爱。我们都可以携带圣经，有空就读一节，如此把思想集中在上帝身上。（《文稿》1885年33号，证道，1885年11月10日）{5MR435.2}[2]
§6
Elder Andrews, when he was driving his oxen, had his Bible with him and he would take it out and read a few words and then think of these while he went on with his work. Thus he obtained a knowledge of the Scriptures and of the love of God to man. We can all have our Bibles with us and when we have a spare moment we can read a verse and thus keep our minds fixed upon God.--Manuscript 33, 1885. (Sermon, November 10, 1885.) {5MR 435.2}[2]
§7
J.N.安德鲁斯会赶着牛到田里。他赶牛的时候，总是拿出书来，读上一段或几句，然后大声朗读，以锻炼肺部，同时把句子记住。（《文稿》1903年91号，《自我修养》，在教师学院上的讲话，1903年8月20日）{5MR435.3}[3]
§8
[J. N. Andrews] would go out into the field with his oxen, and as he drove them, he would refer to his book, and read a few words or sentences, and then repeat these in full, loud tones in order to exercise his lungs, as well as to impress the words and sentences upon his memory.--Manuscript 91, 1903. (Self-Improvement, Address at Teachers Institute, August 20, 1903.) {5MR 435.3}[3]
§9
我在上一次异象中看到，沃坎不是约翰居留的地方。……我看到他完全受制于他的叔叔们，千方百计讨他们欢心。他一直怕叔叔们。……我还看到因为其他原因，约翰留在沃坎不安全。……我看到约翰不应前往沃坎，留在那儿。（《信函》1863年2号，致科内尔弟兄，1863年6月20日）{5MR436.1}[4]
§10
I saw in my last vision that Waukon was not the place for John. . . . I saw that he had been in perfect bondage to his uncles and had tried in every way to please them. A continual fear of his uncles has been upon him. . . . I saw again that it was not safe for John to be in Waukon for other reasons. . . . I saw that John should not go to Waukon to remain there.--Letter 2, 1863. (To Brother Cornell, June 20, 1863.) {5MR 436.1}[4]
§11
安德鲁斯弟兄离开他年迈的母亲，离开唯一的兄弟……和在美国的许多朋友，听从上帝的召唤，进入新的布道园地。他到你们这里来是作出巨大牺牲的。{5MR436.2}[5]
§12
Brother Andrews left his aged mother, an only brother . . . and many friends in America, to obey the call of God and enter this new missionary field. He came to you at quite a sacrifice. {5MR 436.2}[5]
§13
安德鲁斯长老是耶稣基督尽责的仆人。……我们把我们队伍中最有能力的人派到你们这里。……我们这里需要安德鲁斯长老。但是我们觉得他的小心谨慎，他的经验和他讲道时敬畏上帝的庄严神态，正是你们所需要的。我们希望你们会接受他的指导，当他在陌生的国度作一个陌生人时，千方百计地帮助他。（《信函》1878年2a号，致瑞士亲爱的弟兄们，1878年8月29日）{5MR436.3}[6]
§14
Elder Andrews is a conscientious servant of Jesus Christ. . . . We sent you the ablest man in all our ranks. . . . We needed Elder Andrews here. But we thought his great caution, his experience, his God-fearing dignity in the desk, would be just what you needed. We hoped you would accept his counsel, and aid him in every way possible while he was a stranger in a strange country.--Letter 2a, 1878. (To Dear Brethren in Switzerland, August 29, 1878.) {5MR 436.3}[6]

§21
昨天夜里消息传来，我们大家都很伤心。……我知道在你蒙受巨大损失的时候，上帝会支持你。……上帝知道对于她（J.N.安德鲁斯的女儿玛丽）和你来说，什么是最好的。…..对于耶稣和祂的爱，你并不陌生。…….{5MR437.2}[10]
§22
The news which reached us last night was sad indeed to us all. . . . I knew that God would sustain you under your great loss. . . . God knew what was best for her [J. N. Andrewss daughter, Mary] and for you. . . . You are not a stranger to Jesus and His love. . . . {5MR 437.2}[10]

§25
然后我看到主亲切地看着你。我看见赐生命之主前来，你的妻子和儿女都从坟墓里出来，披戴不朽的辉煌。请看这些看不见的事物。……我祈愿上帝赐福和鼓励你的心。同情你的姐妹：怀爱伦（签名）（《信函》1878年71号，致J.N.安底鲁斯，1878年12月5日）{5MR437.4}[12]
§26
Then I saw the Lord look lovingly upon you. I saw the Life-giver come and your wife and children come forth from their graves clothed with immortal splendor. Look at the things which are unseen. . . . May God bless and encourage your heart, is my prayer. Your sympathizing sister, (signed) Ellen G. White.--Letter 71, 1878. (To J. N.
