MR No. 555 - Ellen White Experiences in Australia and New Zealand
§3
昨天在去车站接威利之前，我们作了一次短途旅行。里基弟兄租了一对有制服的马和四轮轻便马车，我们就带着行李挤了进去。大约三十分钟后火车会进站，然后我们就要带着行李去上船。我看到马的头抬的很高，就像我们在加利福尼亚的吉姆，便问里基弟兄：“这匹马安全吗？”他说：“十分安全。”我看着斯塔尔姐妹，对她说：“斯塔尔姐妹，我不能同情你对这是一匹烈马的担心。”{8MR80.1}[1]
§4
Yesterday before going to the station for Willie we went to take a short ride. Brother Reekie had hired a livery team and wagonette, and we piled in with our baggage. In about thirty minutes the train would be in, and then we were going to the boat with our baggage. I saw that the horses head was held very high, like our Jims in California, and I asked Brother Reekie, Is this horse safe? He said, Perfectly. I looked at Sister Starr and said to her, Sister Starr, I cannot sympathize with you in your fear to ride after a spirited horse. {8MR 80.1}[1]
§5
只过了一会儿，我们在下一条大道的时候，马就开始踢跳了，里基弟兄使它转入一条边道，摆脱马车的拥挤；但它还是又踢又跳；它的脚后跟踹碎了挡泥板。我对斯塔尔姐妹和艾米丽说：“出去，尽快出去。”斯塔尔姐妹嘴唇发白，我彻底受到了惊吓。斯塔尔弟兄跳过车轮，在马的头那里，但马把头抬得那么高，斯塔尔弟兄费了很大的劲才抓住马勒，用马嚼子控制住它。砰，砰，它包着钢的后跟踹进了马车。{8MR80.2}[2]
§6
It was only a few moments, as we were going down a thoroughfare, the horse began to kick, and Brother Reekie turned him into a side street, out of the press of carriages; but he kicked and kicked; his heels went crushing through the dashboard. I said to Sister Starr and Emily, Get out, get out as quick as you can. Sister Starrs lips were white, and I was thoroughly frightened. Brother Starr jumped over the wheel, and was at the horses head, but his head was held so high Brother Starr could not, without great effort, catch the bridle and hold him by the bit. Thud, thud, went his steel-clad heels into the carriage. {8MR 80.2}[2]
§7
斯塔尔姐妹和艾米丽离车门最近，但她们并没有停下来去开门；我们都翻过关闭的门，很有秩序地出来了，没有伤到脚踝，很感恩摆脱了骚乱。过了一会儿，马不再踢跳了。我的弹簧座垫被放在路旁的一块岩石上，我们都带着背包在那里坐了半小时。马和马车被带回车行了，车主被斯塔尔弟兄训斥了一顿，竟将一匹太久没有出车的马套上车。另一匹马和马车被提供给我们，里基弟兄到路旁接了我们，我们就去车站接威利了。我们及时见到了他，大家就都上了船，并把行李存放在船上我们的特等舱里了。（《文稿》1893年5号第2,3页，日记，1893年2月4日）{8MR80.3}[3]
§8
Sister Starr and Emily were nearest the door, but they did not stop to open it; we all climbed over the closed door and tumbled out in good order without bruising an ankle, and were ever so thankful to be out of the fracas. After a time the horse stopped his kicking. My spring seat was placed on a rock by the wayside, and we all were with our satchels seated there half an hour. The horse and wagonette were taken back to the stable, and the owners were reprimanded by Brother Starr for hitching up a horse that was too long for the shafts. Another horse and carriage were provided for us, and Brother Reekie picked us up by the roadside and we went to the depot for Willie. We met him just in time, and all went on board the boat, and stowed our baggage in our stateroom, and in the hold of the boat.--Ms 5, 1893, pp. 2, 3. (Diary, February 4, 1893.) {8MR 80.3}[3]
§9
这（新西兰的科欧）是一个很美丽的地方。群山耸立，不是干枯的和棕色的，而是披着碧绿和形形色色的树木。我们住在黑尔前辈家，距科欧、教会和教会旁边黑尔弟兄的商店三英里。{8MR81.1}[4]
§10
This [Kaeo, New Zealand] is a very beautiful place. Mountains rise above mountains, not sere and brown, but clothed with verdure and trees of every description. We are making our home with Father Hares family, three miles from Kaeo, from the meetinghouse, and from the Hare brothers store, which is close by the meetinghouse. {8MR 81.1}[4]
§11
我们星期三早上离开了黑尔弟兄的家。星期四早上开始下雨，天上的窗户似乎敞开了。倾盆大雨整日整夜下个不停。山涧满了从山上流下来的水，直到它咆哮得象一个大瀑布了。他们说水位有时涨到很高，但二十八年来从来没有像这次这样的。它冲走了桥梁，浮起相当多的木头。从小溪边的果园，苹果和其它水果经历着业主们长时间的造访。黑尔前辈的房子建在一处高地上，所以他们不担心水位会涨到他们那里。{8MR81.2}[5]
§12
We left Joseph Hares home Wednesday morning. Thursday morning it began to rain, and the windows of heaven seemed to be opened. Sheets of water came down steadily all day and all night. The ravine filled with water coming from the hills, until it roared like a cataract. They say that the water has sometimes risen very high, but there has been nothing like this for twenty-eight years. It carried away bridges and floated off considerable wood. From the orchards on the borders of the creek, apples and other fruit went on a long visit from the owners. Father Hares house stands on a high rise of ground, so they had no fears that the water would reach them there. {8MR 81.2}[5]
§13
我们的外国邮件在星期四准备好了，梅特卡夫.黑尔弟兄冒着倾盆大雨来取。他走了三英里把邮件带到科欧，然后约瑟.黑尔弟兄乘船三英里把它带到港口，送上邮船。但邮船不能在这样的暴风雨中冒险出去；它直等到第二天上午才启程。{8MR81.3}[6]
§14
Our foreign mail was prepared Thursday morning, and Brother Metcalf Hare came for it in the pouring rain. He carried it three miles to Kaeo, then Joseph Hare took it by boat three miles to the harbor, to the mail boat. But the boat could not venture out in such a storm; it waited till the next morning. {8MR 81.3}[6]
§15
我们在暴风雨后乘车去科欧的时候，发现很好的路面大大改变了。碎石被冲掉了。一些山脉有滑坡。暴风雨期间河水漫过了公路，六英尺长的大原木也被山涧冲下来。这些原木被冲到公路上，一些躺在马车道的近旁，一些横贯半路，但留有空间让车队经过。洪水冲来的杆子和杂物碎片留在高树上，玉米田被压坏了，巨大的原木堆积在田里；庄稼全都毁了。{8MR82.1}[7]
§16
When we rode to Kaeo after the storm, we found the nice road greatly changed. The gravel had been washed off. There had been landslides from the mountains. During the storm the water had covered the road, and great logs, six feet through, had come tearing down the ravine. These logs were driven up on the road, some lying close beside the carriage way, others half-way across it, but leaving room for teams to pass. Poles and debris from the flood were lodged in high trees, corn fields were beaten down, and immense logs piled on fields; the crop was utterly ruined. {8MR 82.1}[7]
§17
在科欧，水涌进了房子，一些民居被冲走了。卫斯理公会传道人的房子在一个高山上。约有三十人在洪水期间与他一起得到了庇护。一些被洪水冲下来的巨大原木多年来一直躺在山后若干英里的地方。没有足够的水使它们漂下来。{8MR82.2}[8]
§18
In Kaeo, water swept into the houses, and some dwellings were washed away. The house of the Wesleyan minister was on a high hill. About thirty persons found refuge with him during the flood. Some of the immense logs swept down by the flood had been lying for years some miles back in the mountains. There was not sufficient water to float them down. {8MR 82.2}[8]
§19
我们打算走过商店约一英里，到约瑟.黑尔家，却发现桥没有了。斯塔尔弟兄徒步走过废墟到了房子那里，黑尔姐妹和她的孩子们下来见我。她说我曾很羡慕的他们美好的园子被毁了，有原木堆积在那里。果树被毁坏了。畜棚被淹没了；马和牛游了出来到山上去。他们上好的家禽连同五十五个蜂房被一扫而空。{8MR82.3}[9]
§20
We intended to go about a mile beyond the store, to Joseph Hares, but found that the bridge was gone. Brother Starr crossed over the ruins on foot and went to the house, and Sister Hare and her children came down to see me. She said their nice garden I had admired so much was ruined, and logs were piled on it. Fruit trees were broken down. The barn was flooded; the horses and cow swam out and made for the mountains. Their choice poultry were all swept away, with fifty hives of bees. {8MR 82.3}[9]
§21
商店在高处，然而水还是进去了约三到四英尺深。两位睡在店里的姐妹把货物放到了高过水位的地方，所以损害很小。许多农场遭受了大损失，然而没有报导说有人丧命。在低地的房子显然象宾夕法尼亚州（约翰斯顿）洪水后的样子了。一切都被浸泡了，挂在篱笆上晾干。我想买一些盐，但这地方没有一家商店能买到。一切东西都被脏水浸泡了。面粉和许多其它东西在水中被毁了。然而这个画面足够了。{8MR82.4}[10]
§22
The store was on a high rise, but the water came into it about three or four feet deep. Two sisters who slept in the store put up the goods out of reach of the water, so that little harm was done. Great damage has been done on many farms, but no lives are reported to have been lost. The houses on the lowland have the appearance of the [Johnstown] Pennsylvania flood. Everything was soaked, and out on the fences drying. I tried to get some salt, but not a store in the place had any. All had been soaked with dirty water. Flour and many other things had been ruined in the water. But enough of this picture. {8MR 82.4}[10]
§23
我们在这里拥有蕨树沟的一切特权。最好的蕨树长在高地上和峡谷旁，你会发现它们都上到了山腰。附近有各种各样的蕨类植物。它们使景色非常迷人。四面环山，前面、后面、右边、左边都是山，高耸数百英里，直冲云霄。{8MR83.1}[11]
§24
Here we have all the privileges of Fern Tree Gully. The best fern trees grow on the uplands and by the ravine, and you find them all up the mountainsides. Every conceivable variety of ferns is close by. They make the scenery very attractive. The mountains are on every side, before, behind, on the right hand, and on the left, towering hundreds of feet toward the heavens. {8MR 83.1}[11]
§25
我们在这里受到了很友好的对待。人人似乎都觉得尽力使我们舒适和快乐乃是一个大特权。{8MR83.2}[12]
§26
We were treated very kindly here. All seem to feel it a great privilege to do all in their power for our comfort and happiness. {8MR 83.2}[12]
§27
我在奥克兰讲了八堂道，在科欧也讲了三次。星期天下午我们有幸在卫理公会的教堂讲道。这坐建筑矗立在一座高山上，要攀登相当多的山路才能到那里。堂里人满得外溢。需要额外的座位，还有一些人不得不站着。我很清楚地从《约翰福音》第十七章的头一部分讲起，人们听得仿佛着了迷。我们受邀安息日在教堂里举行聚会。我们约定在星期日晚上。堂里满了来听斯塔尔长老讲道的人，约定安息日和星期日下午在同一个地方讲道。{8MR83.3}[13]
§28
I spoke eight times in Auckland, and have already spoken three times in Kaeo. Sunday afternoon we had the privilege of speaking in the Wesleyan Methodist Church. The building is set up on a high hill, and considerable climbing was required in order to get to it. The house was filled to overflowing. Extra seats were required, and then some had to stand. I spoke very plainly from the first part of the seventeenth of John, and the people listened as if spellbound. We were requested to hold meetings on Sabbath in the church. We gave an appointment for Sunday evening. The house was full to hear Elder Starr, and appointments were made for Sabbath and Sunday afternoons in the same place. {8MR 83.3}[13]
§29
黑尔前辈有一个很漂亮的地方，靠近一条从山上流下来的清澈的小溪。在去科欧途中的景色让人想起从希尔兹堡到水晶泉的景色，虽然这里的路没有那么危险。（《文稿》1893年37号第1-3页，〈在新西兰科欧黑尔前辈家〉，1893年3月1日）{8MR83.4}[14]
§30
Father Hare has a very pretty place, close by a clear-running brook from the mountains. The scenery on the way to Kaeo makes one think of the road from Healdsburg to Crystal Springs, though the road here is not so dangerous.--Ms 37, 1893, pp. 1-3. (At Father Hares, Kaeo, N.Z., March 1, 1893.) {8MR 83.4}[14]
§31
我已经（在新西兰的科欧）讲了两个安息日和星期日，并在晚上讲了四次。第一个安息日我们在为安息日复临信徒建的小教堂里举行聚会。星期日下午我们获得了卫斯理公会的礼拜堂，我便向人们讲道。堂里拥挤到了最大程度，长椅和所有可用的东西都被占用了。讲道坛前的小长凳和平台上坐满了儿童。主在我讲道时给了我自由，人们听得十分专心。……{8MR84.1}[15]
§32
I have spoken [in Kaeo, New Zealand] the two Sabbaths and Sundays, and four times in the evening. On the first Sabbath we held the meeting in the little chapel built for Seventh-day Adventists. Sunday afternoon we secured the Wesleyan chapel, and I spoke to the people. The house was crowded to its utmost extent, and benches and everything available was pressed into service. The little bench before the pulpit, and the platform, were filled with children. The Lord gave me freedom in speaking, and there was the very best of attention. . . . {8MR 84.1}[15]
§33
星期日卫斯理公会的礼拜堂挤满了人；每一个能得到的座位都带来了，最后门厅的一个旧箱子也作为最后一招被拉进来了。我从基督徒的立场讲了节制，大家都以强烈的兴趣听了两小时。一些人说那使他们不再吸烟了。……{8MR84.2}[16]
§34
On Sunday the Wesleyan chapel was crowded; every available seat was brought in, and at last an old chest in the hall was dragged in as the last resource. I spoke upon temperance from the Christian standpoint, and all listened with intense interest for two hours. Some said that ended their tobacco-using. . . . {8MR 84.2}[16]
§35
我感到有责任向在科欧的信徒们作一个清楚明确的见证。他们非常需要被唤醒。他们不知道对自己界内的灵魂有负担是什么意思。他们不知道寻找在基督之外将要灭亡的人是什么意思。他们看不到为什么他们需要去参加营会。生活的普通义务占据了一切，他们没有意向走出同自己的工作和家庭，不怕麻烦地通过与弟兄们一起寻求主来获得亮光和力量。我们正在努力唤醒他们。愿主帮助我们。（《文稿》1893年38号第1,4,5页，〈在科欧作工〉，1893年3月8日）{8MR84.3}[17]
§36
I feel it my duty to bear a plain, decided testimony to the believers in Kaeo. They need, oh so much, to be awakened. They do not know what it means to have a burden for the souls in their own borders. They do not know what it means to seek for the perishing ones out of Christ. They do not see why they need to go to campmeeting. The common duties of life are all-absorbing, and it does not meet their inclination to go out from their work and homes, and be put to inconvenience to obtain light and strength through seeking the Lord with their brethren. We are working to arouse them. May the Lord help us.--Ms 38, 1893, pp. 1, 4, 5. (Labors in Kaeo, March 8, 1893.) {8MR 84.3}[17]
§37
我一夜无眠。我在梦里已经历了拔牙的过程。卡罗姊妹晚上过来了；现在还呆在屋子里。在早餐桌上我们碰面了。她问：“见到我你不太高兴吧？”我则回答：“我当然很高兴见到卡罗姊妹。但我不是很确定是否高兴见到牙医卡罗夫人。”十点的时候我躺在椅子里，很快被拔掉8颗牙。真高兴这个活儿终于结束了。我没有畏缩，也没有抱怨。我的手保持稳定，好像我一直在写作似的，一根神经因手术的刺激疼痛起来。我祈求主赐我力量与恩典，好忍受这份痛苦，并且我知道，主垂听了我的祷告。{8MR85.1}[18]
§38
I have had a restless night. I have passed through the process of having my teeth extracted during my dreams. Sister Caro came in the night; is in the house. I met her in the morning at the breakfast table. She said, Are you sorry to see me? I answered, I am pleased to meet Sister Caro, certainly. [I am] not so certain whether I am pleased to meet Mrs. Dr. Caro, dentist. At ten oclock I was in the chair and in a short time eight teeth were drawn. I was glad when the job was over. I did not wince or groan. My hand was held as steadily as if I had been writing and a nerve was set in motion by the operation. I had asked the Lord to strengthen me and give me grace to endure the painful process, and I know the Lord heard my prayer. {8MR 85.1}[18]
§39
牙齿拔除后，卡罗姊妹抖得像一片白杨树叶。她双手哆嗦，忍受着身体的痛苦。她说，她在乘火车十个小时期间感到不舒服。她害怕给怀姊妹带来痛苦。她星期二晚上没怎么睡，早上又几乎吃不下东西，但她明白，她必须实施这个手术，而且还得实施到底。于是病人就侍候医生；我让她坐在我的安乐椅上，给她喝霍乱合剂（一种治疗肠失调的成药）——这是我房子里仅有的刺激品。{8MR85.2}[19]
§40
After the teeth were extracted Sister Caro shook like an aspen leaf. Her hands were shaking and she was suffering pain of body. She had felt sick, she said, on the cars during her ten hours ride. She dreaded to give pain to Sister White. She slept little Tuesday night and could scarcely eat in the morning, but she knew she must perform the operation and went through with it. Then the patient waited upon the doctor; I had her seated in my easy chair and gave her sips of cholera mixture [a nostrum used for intestinal disorders]--all the stimulus I had in the house. {8MR 85.2}[19]
§41
卡罗姐妹决不是一个虚弱的人。她身材高挑，相貌高贵，而且完全精通她的职业。她双臂的肌肉像钢铁一样。她能稳定镇静地经受一般病例中一切不愉快的表现。她知道我已忍受了许多痛苦，而且她要成为使我疼痛的媒介，这使她比我更痛苦。{8MR85.3}[20]
§42
Sister Caro is not a weakling by any means. She is a tall, queenly looking woman, and thorough master of her business. The muscles of her arms are like steel. She can go through all the disagreeable performances firm and composed in ordinary cases. She knew I had borne much pain and that she should be the agent to give me pain caused her much more suffering that it did me. {8MR 85.3}[20]
§43
我感谢我的天父，我使用我的理智没有一声呻吟地忍受了磨难。我没有使用任何麻醉剂，结果也就不用从麻醉药物的影响得恢复。我很高兴与这些已经使我非常痛苦的牙齿告别。我已花了不下一百五十美元在这些牙齿上，而且忍受了非常的痛苦。{8MR86.1}[21]
§44
I thank my heavenly Father I bore the trial without a groan and in the use of my senses. I took nothing to stupefy me, and as the result have not the influence of stupefying drugs to recover from. I am pleased to bid farewell to these teeth that have caused me so great suffering. I have expended no less than one hundred and fifty dollars on them and endured very much pain. {8MR 86.1}[21]
§45
我觉得很感恩，因为我确信主是我急难中随时的帮助。我今天早上很早就起来预备和完成一些文章，好寄给范妮（博尔顿）发表在期刊上，一些论基督生平的文章给玛丽安（戴维斯），一些信给威利（怀特）。其中一些内容我得在拔牙后完成，因为伦敦弟兄约在两点钟乘船去墨尔本的学校。卡罗姐妹没有照所预期的今天下午乘火车离开。我一直留在我的房间里，无意与他们一起坐在餐桌旁。我忍受了相当大的疼痛。（《文稿》1893年81号第11,12页，日记，1893年7月5日）{8MR86.2}[22]
§46
I feel so thankful that I have assurance that the Lord is to me a present help in every time of need. I arose early this morning to prepare and complete articles to send to Fanny [Bolton] for the papers, articles on the life of Christ for Marian [Davis], letters for Willie [White]. Some of these I had to finish after the teeth drawing, for Brother London takes the boat at about two oclock for Melbourne school. Sister Caro did not leave today as expected on the afternoon train. I kept to my chamber and did not care to sit at the table with them. I suffered considerable pain.--Ms 81, 1893, pp. 11, 12. (Diary, July 5, 1893.) {8MR 86.2}[22]
§47
我们很忙碌地在为（澳大利亚）墨尔本的邮件预备材料。那个十六岁的毛利小伙子从内皮尔来见我。W.C.怀特和我会见了他，与他交谈了他到墨尔本学校上学的事。我们发现他是一个相当聪明的少年，便为他作了安排，借钱给他付他去墨尔本的路费和他在校的学费。他有他母亲留给他的大笔财产。他在上学的时候信奉了真理，那所学校距黑斯廷斯二十英里，在去奥蒙德维尔和帕默斯顿的途中。{8MR86.3}[23]
§48
We are very busily engaged in preparing matter for the Melbourne [Australia] mail. The young Maori lad, sixteen years old, has come from Napier to see me. W. C. White and myself met with him and conversed in regard to his attending Melbourne school. We find him quite an intelligent lad, and we make arrangements for him, loaning him money to pay his passage to Melbourne and to pay his tuition in the school. He has large property left him by his mother. He embraced the truth while attending school twenty miles from Hastings, on the road to Ormondville and Palmerston. {8MR 86.3}[23]
§49
波马雷也通过埃沃斯顿接受了真理，埃沃斯顿曾守安息日，但后来放弃了，不过相信全部真理。这些男孩通过阅读和交谈开始慕道，来找埃沃斯顿了解更多他所相信的细节。他就拿出圣经，讲解了我们信仰的证据。好几个人变得深感兴趣，不愿罢休，直到听了更多再更多。{8MR87.1}[24]
§50
Pomare also embraced the truth through the instrumentality of Everston who had once kept the Sabbath but given it up, yet believed all the truth. These boys became interested through some reading and conversation, and came to Everston for more particulars of what he did believe. He took his Bible and presented the evidences of our faith. Several became deeply interested and would not rest until they heard more and still more. {8MR 87.1}[24]
§51
波马雷已经受洗并且去了美国，要成为一名医疗布道士。他离开自己本民族的人相当困难。人们对此事深为关注。他是一位德高望重的酋长的儿子。这个想要去墨尔本的少年是本部落一位著名首领的儿子，这位首领也是惠灵顿立法机构的成员。少年的父亲同意了，他的祖父也同意了——他控制着属于这个年轻人的钱——然而一些最苦毒地反对我们信仰的人写信给那位父亲和祖父我们的人的一个表现，他们就撤回了自己的同意，不愿让他去了。但他告诉他们他应该去，他便写信给卡罗姐妹求资助，问她是否能让他去恳求怀姐妹借钱给他。{8MR87.2}[25]
§52
The man Pomare has been baptized and has gone to America to become a medical missionary. He had a very hard time of it to get off from his people. The case was watched with deep interest. He is the son of a chief of high repute. The lad who wants to go to Melbourne is the son of an eminent chieftain of the tribe, who is a member of the legislature in Wellington. His father gave his consent, also his grandfather--who is holding the money belonging to the young man--but some of the bitterest opposers to our faith wrote to the father and grandfather a representation of our people and they took back their consent and would not let him go. But he told them he should go, and he wrote to Sister Caro for the money and if she could not let him have it to solicit Sister White to loan it to him. {8MR 87.2}[25]
§53
我们认为这些年轻人归主乃是天意奇妙的安排。我们看出上帝的手在掌管这件事，便不敢向这个年轻人关闭门户，我们便接纳他在我们的监护之下。他成年的时候会得到他的遗产，那时会偿还所借的钱。有些人说他十七岁就能继承遗产，一些人说要到二十一岁。W.C.怀特星期五要去为这个年轻人办事，并给他买车票。{8MR87.3}[26]
§54
We considered this was a wonderful providence, the conversion of these young men. We recognized the hand of God in the matter and dared not close the door against this young man, and we have taken him under our guardianship. He will, when of age, receive his legacy and then will return the money loaned. Some say he can come into possession at seventeen, others say at twenty-one. W. C. White went on Friday to do up the business for the young man, and secure his tickets. {8MR 87.3}[26]
§55
我们去了近邻一个毛利人的家，去探访他们。有一个很富有的年轻人，一个曾与他（那个受资助去墨尔本的毛利人）在同一所学校上学的年轻人。他星期三回到家，患了水肿，晚上就死了。亲友们举行了哀悼仪式，为死人痛哭哀号，非常悲痛。{8MR88.1}[27]
§56
We went to a Maori house, our near neighbors, to call upon them. There was a young man, very wealthy, a Maori who had attended the same school with him [the Maori being helped to go to Melbourne]. He came home Wednesday, sick with dropsy, and died in the night. The mourning ceremony was kept up by the friends, in bitter weeping and wailing and terrible distress for the dead. {8MR 88.1}[27]
§57
那个走得很近的年轻人被阻止返回内皮尔，继续他所预期的旅程。毛利人坚持让他陪伴送葬队伍到死人的家，说他本不该离开这里返回内皮尔，然而在匆匆做的安排中，死人的亲友们商议决定再开一天追悼会，而当他们兴致勃勃讨论这件事情时，他悄悄地溜走了，正好赶上去内皮尔的火车。要是他走不掉，他就不能实现他的意图了，不可能说出撒但还有什么诡计预备好要阻止他去墨尔本学校上学的道路。我多么深感关心啊，这些年轻人要预备好为他们本民族的人从事非常重要的传道工作！{8MR88.2}[28]
§58
The young Maori came very near being prevented from returning to Napier and pursuing his journey as he anticipated. The Maoris insisted he must accompany the funeral procession to the dead mans home, and he said he should not have been left to come back to Napier, but in the arrangements made hastily, friends of the dead man in council were determining in regard to having another day of mourning, and while interestedly discussing the matter he slipped off unperceived, and just in time took the train for Napier. Had he not, he could not have carried out his purpose, and it is impossible to tell what device Satan might have prepared to bar his way from attending Melbourne school. Oh, how deeply interested I am that these young men shall become prepared to do the missionary work so essential to be done for their own nation! {8MR 88.2}[28]
§59
还有一个年轻的毛利人，他从天主教归顺了真理，想要去上学，好学习真理，以便成为一名宣教士，但他的亲友们不肯让他去。他们说他明年可以去。他们希望要是他们阻止他，他就会放弃他的“观念”。{8MR88.3}[29]
§60
There is still another young Maori, converted to the truth from Catholicism, who is desirous to go to school to learn the truth that he may become a missionary, but his friends refused to let him go. They say he may go next year. They hope he will give up his notions if they hold him back. {8MR 88.3}[29]
§61
学校中还有好几个人在受真理影响，然而自从这些显著归主的案例之后，制定了极其严格的规定，以致难以有机会接触这些学生了。我在内皮尔讲道的时候，埃沃斯顿弟兄几周前来聚会，卡罗姐妹与他谈了话，他答应再次遵守安息日，我听人读了一篇他写的关于他亲身经历的一封很有趣的信。（《文稿》1893年85号第10-12页，日记，1893年9月15日）{8MR88.4}[30]
§62
There are several others in the school being leavened with the truth, but since these marked cases of conversion, most stringent rules have been made so that it is difficult to get a chance at these students. Brother Everston came to the meeting a few weeks ago when I spoke in Napier, and Sister Caro talked with him and he promised to again keep the Sabbath, and I heard read a very interesting letter from his pen of his experience.--Ms 85, 1893, pp. 10-12. (Diary, September 15, 1893.) {8MR 88.4}[30]
§63
在威拉拉帕轮船上，1893年12月19日，星期二。风越来越大，直到刮成了大风。我不敢冒险站在甲板上。我很高兴保持不动。大家或多或少都受了影响。（O.A.）奥尔森长老显然病了。艾米丽（坎贝尔）躺在甲板上。风刮着，海浪汹涌，白浪花升到很高，高到眼睛看得见，巨浪翻腾，势比山高，溅在甲板上。{8MR89.1}[31]
§64
On the Steamer Wairarapa, Tuesday, December 19, 1893. The wind is increasing until it blows a gale. I do not venture upon the deck. I feel glad to keep still. All are more or less affected. Elder [O. A.] Olsen is decidedly sick. Emily [Campbell] is on deck lying down. The wind blows, the waves run high, the white-capped billows reach far, far as the eye can reach, restlessly moving, tossing, mounting up mountain high, splashing over the deck. {8MR 89.1}[31]
§65
威利（怀特）认为我最好上到甲板上。他把我的椅子牢牢系在一个被认为最掩蔽的地方。三个人坐在离我很近的地方，被海浪溅湿。威利又搬动一次，到船中央，在长凳上躺了一会儿，但风把海水刮得完全狂怒了。我倾心向上帝祈求基督，祂曾平静风浪，说：“住了吧，静了吧”（可4:39）。{8MR89.2}[32]
§66
Willie [White] thought it best for me to go up on deck. He lashed my chair in what was supposed to be a sheltered place. Three men were sitting very near me who were splashed with the waves of the sea. Willie made another move to get in the center of the ship and lie down on the long bench for a time, but the wind had worked the waters into a perfect fury. I was lifting my heart to God for Christ, who stilled the tempest, to say Peace, be still. {8MR 89.2}[32]
§67
彩虹忽然跨越天空。我能在云中彩虹里看到上帝应许的记号，便安然信赖祂保护的双臂。难以下到女士厅。我紧紧靠着威利，但风却不愿让我们前进。一位先生来帮助。我一到下面就病得厉害，严重呕吐之后，觉得好些了。我星期一或星期二不能吃东西。晚上比我们担心的要舒适得多，比我们担心的睡得好多了。{8MR89.3}[33]
§68
All at once the rainbow spanned the heavens. I could see the signs of Gods promise in the bow in the clouds, and I was resting in confidence in His protecting arms. It was difficult to get down to the ladies saloon. I clung to Willie, but the wind would not let us advance. A gentleman came to his help. Once below I was quite sick and vomited most earnestly, and felt better. I could not eat Monday or Tuesday. We had a much more pleasant night than we feared we should have. Slept much better than we feared. {8MR 89.3}[33]
§69
在这样一艘船上似乎多么可怕呀，它的管理者们显然尽是宴饮和娱乐；喝酒、抽烟和咒骂的行为那么多。{8MR90.1}[34]
§70
How terrible it seems to be on a boat like this while its managers are apparently full of carousing and of sport; and drinking, smoking, and swearing are so abundant. {8MR 90.1}[34]
§71
作招待的那位女士待我很好。我送给她一本《拾级就主》和一些期刊小册。我与她谈了她的灵魂得救问题。我指出了任何一个在海上之人的生命危险。她说她时常想到这一点，但她又说：“要是能够的话，我愿意作一名基督徒，但是我无法做到。在这种船上不可能侍奉上帝。你不知道，你想不到这些水手多么邪恶。船长和大副的品性与船员水手们那么相近，以致无力引进改革，即使他们想做这种事。”我问她为什么不另谋职业。她说：“没用的。我有四个孩子要供养，而我又没有力气去做苦工。”她是一个娇小精致的女子。“我在这艘船上能挣得比从事其它职业更多。”{8MR90.2}[35]
§72
The lady in waiting is very kind to me. I gave her Steps to Christ and some papers and pamphlets. I talked with her in regard to her souls salvation. I pointed out the perils of anyone whose life was on the sea. She said she had thought of this ofttimes, but she said, If I could, I would be a Christian, but I cannot. It would be an impossibility to serve God on such a vessel as this. You do not know, you cannot have any idea of the wickedness of these sailors. The captain and mates are so closely of the same character with the crew of sailors that they have no influence to introduce reform, if they desired such a thing. I asked why she did not seek some other employment. She said, It would be no use. I have four children to support and I have not strength to do hard work. She was a small, delicate, fine-featured woman. I earn more here on this ship than I could obtain in any other employment. {8MR 90.2}[35]
§73
我设法向她说明过一种没有祷告的生活的危险。她说：“在这里祷告，试着作个虔诚人是没用的。”我告诉她如果主曾指定她在那个地方，她就能，只要她愿意接受基督为她的救主，认识到基督是她的避难所。她眼中含泪，说：“不可能的。我知道这艘船的那群人。我不能在这里过虔诚的生活。我有时希望某个地方能向我开放，我好能在那里养家，然后我就会注意这些严肃的事。只要我能与我的孩子们在一起并以一种卑微的方式供养他们，我就很高兴这么做。”{8MR90.3}[36]
§74
I tried to open before her the danger of living a prayerless life. She said, It is no use to pray here, to try to be religious. I told her if the Lord had appointed her that place she would, if she would accept Christ as her Saviour, realize Christ as her refuge. She said, with tears in her eyes, It is impossible. I know the company on this ship. I could not live religion here. I hope some time to have some place opened for me where I can support my family, and then I shall give my attention to serious things. If I could only be with my children and support them in a humble way I would only too gladly choose to do so. {8MR 90.3}[36]
§75
我们在距奥克兰有一段距离的地方抛了锚。奥尔森长老和威利.怀特与我和艾米丽.坎贝尔在船上。有一艘小轮船从这艘船到海滨去，我们一行人就决定前往，在船等着进港的时候度过几个小时。在船卸载乘客和装载另一批乘客之前，我们有几个小时的时间。{8MR91.1}[37]
§76
We were anchored some distance from Auckland. Elder Olsen and Willie White were on board, with Emily Campbell and me. There was a small steamer going from the ship to shore and we, all of our party, decided to go and spend a few hours while the ship was waiting in the harbor. We had some hours before the ship would unload her passengers and take aboard other passengers. {8MR 91.1}[37]
§77
奥尔森长老和威利上了小船，因着某种误会，小船在我们上去之前就开走了。艾米丽感到很失望。我从未见过她如此失衡。她痛哭起来，我因她感到很难过。大副开始与她谈话，告诉她在大船去码头前小船还会回来的，然后他说了许多与那个女乘务员一样的话，论到水手和船员们的邪恶。他说：“我一直感到这艘船连同船上的全体船员不久都会下沉。我强烈希望要是我能离开这艘船，我就不会继续留在船上。”（怀爱伦后记：“此后数周，这艘很好的船下沉了，连同船上所有的人一起沉没了，只有两个人除外。大副是幸免于难的一位。那位女乘务员——护士被登在遇难人员的名单中了。”）{8MR91.2}[38]
§78
Elder Olsen and Willie stepped on board the small boat, and through some misunderstanding went off before we stepped aboard. Emily felt much disappointed. I never saw her so unbalanced. She cried heartily and I felt so sorry on her account. The mate entered into conversation with her and told her that the boat would come to the steamer again before it went to the wharf, then he said much the same as the stewardess had said in regard to the wickedness of the sailors and the crew. He said, I have been much impressed that this boat will go down with all hands on board ere long. I have felt so strongly exercised that I shall not, if I can possibly disconnect from it, continue to remain on the boat. [E. G. WHITE POSTSCRIPT: THIS NICE BOAT WENT DOWN, SUNK WITH ALL ON BOARD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TWO, IN A FEW WEEKS AFTER THIS. THE MATE WAS ONE THAT WAS SAVED. THE STEWARDESS-NURSE WAS ADVERTISED AMONG THE LIST OF THE LOST.] {8MR 91.2}[38]
§79
当我看到在这艘船上如此漠视上帝，不顾任何严肃的事情时，就问自己：能做什么呢？奥尔森弟兄曾有机会在交谊厅里对他们讲道。许多人出席听了道，但有一种无望的感觉过来，使他觉得不会有用。然而，要是有可怜的人需要予以作工和操劳，就是船上这样的人了。不过因数小时的耽搁，我们看到了水手们一下船就对地上产生的影响。酒馆们都准备好了要捕捉灵魂，还有网罗和陷阱也给可能要留下一周或更久的人预备好了。对这等人还能有什么指望呢？我的心很痛。（《文稿》1893年88号第10-12页，日记，1893年12月19日）{8MR91.3}[39]
§80
When I see as I do on this boat such disregard for God and for anything serious, I ask myself, What can be done? Brother Olsen has had opportunity to speak to them in the social hall. Many were present and listened, but a feeling of hopelessness comes over him that it will do no good. But, if ever poor souls needed to be worked for and labored for, it is such a party as is found on the steamers. But then we see the influences upon land as soon as the sailors leave the ship for a few hours delay. There are saloons all ready to catch souls and the nets and snares are ready for those who remain maybe a week or more. What is to be hoped for this class? My heart aches.--Ms 88, 1893, pp. 10-12. (Diary, December 19, 1893.) {8MR 91.3}[39]
§81
我凌晨三点半坐在床上写信。自从一点半就睡不着了。艾拉.梅.怀特和我是一个又大又舒适的家庭帐篷的惟一居住者。近旁是另一个相当大的帐篷，用作餐厅。我们有一个简陋的棚屋作厨房，还有一个五英尺见方的小库房。然后是另一个帐篷，住着我的三个工人。再次是一个封闭了却还没有完工的房间，作洗衣房和工作间。现在被用作两个男人的卧室，我的监工香农弟兄和考德威尔弟兄。这五个人我们提供食宿。其他几个在地里作工的人自己负责食宿。范妮.博尔顿住在另一个帐篷里，用她的风琴和家具装备得很好。你看我们都有一个帐篷村了。{8MR92.1}[40]
§82
I am seated on the bed writing at half past three a.m. Have not slept since half past one oclock. Ella May White and I are the sole occupants of a large, comfortable family tent. Close by is another good-sized tent, used as a dining tent. We have a rude shanty for a kitchen, and a small five by five storeroom. Next is another tent, which accommodates three of my workmen. Next is a room enclosed but not finished, for wash-house and workshop. This is now used as a bedroom by two men, Bro. Shannon, my master builder, and Bro. Caldwell. These five men we board. Several others are at work on the land who board themselves. Fanny Bolton occupies another tent, well fitted up with her organ and furniture. You see we have quite a village of tents. {8MR 92.1}[40]
§83
我驾着自己两匹马拉的车，访问了木材厂，订购了木材，以节省工人们的时间，又出去找奶牛。我买了两头好奶牛，就是说，对本地很好。在侨居地几乎每一个地方都有一个奇怪的习惯，就是在挤奶时绑着奶牛。他们把奶牛的头放在一个叫作活动挤奶棚的装置里，然后将它的一条腿拴在木桩上。这是一种野蛮的做法。我告诉那些我向他们买了奶牛的人，我不会做这种事，而要给奶牛自由，教它们站着不动。业主惊讶地看着我。他说：“你不能这么做，怀夫人，它们不会站着不动。没人想过什么别的做法。”我回答说：“好了，我会给你一个能做成什么的榜样。”我没有拴一条绳子在奶牛的腿上或在它头上罩一个笼子。我的一头奶牛曾在山上跑，直到三岁，之前从未挤过奶。{8MR92.2}[41]
§84
I drive my own two horse team, visit the lumber mills and order lumber, to save the time of the workmen, and go out in search of our cows. I have purchased two good cows--that is, good for this locality. Almost everywhere in the colonies they have a strange custom of confining the cow at milking time. They put her head in a fixture called a bail, then tie up one of her legs to a stake. It is a barbarous practice. I told those of whom I bought my cows that I should do no such thing, but leave the creatures free, and teach them to stand still. The owner looked at me in astonishment, You cannot do this, Mrs. White, he said. They will not stand. No one thinks of doing any other way. Well, I answered, I shall give you an example of what can be done. I have not had a rope on the cows leg, or had her head put into a bail. One of my cows had run on the mountains till she was three years old, and was never milked before. {8MR 92.2}[41]
§85
人们一点不知道他们可以离开从前的做法，藉着辛苦的努力训练无言的动物养成更好的习惯。我们温柔地对待了我们的奶牛，它们则完全温顺。这些奶牛从未吃过大堆麸糠或其它什么预制食品。他们以在山上吃草为生，小牛跟着母牛跑。这种悲惨的习俗啊！我们正在设法教导更好的做法。{8MR93.1}[42]
§86
The people have not the slightest idea that they can depart from former practices, and train the dumb animals to better habits by painstaking efforts. We have treated our cows gently, and they are perfectly docile. These cows had never had a mess of bran or any other prepared food. They get their living by grazing on the mountains and the calf runs with the cow. Such miserable customs! We are trying to teach better practices. {8MR 93.1}[42]
§87
大片美好的土地未清理、未开垦。木材生意给居民们带来的收入很微薄，几乎每天我们都看见一群牛被用来拉一根，有时是两到三根大原木。我们数了有六头、七头或八头牛共轭，拉着重担缓缓前行。六头牛共轭用来给我们犁地耕田。它们受着训练，会在一声吆喝或一声鞭响之下迈步，鞭子只发出响声，并不打在牛身上。它们在看似一定会搞乱时站成一排，然而这些家畜明白自己的工作，它们拉着用来打碎未开垦土壤的巨大的犁耐心地辛勤工作着。{8MR93.2}[43]
§88
Large tracts of beautiful land lie uncleared, unworked. The timber business has brought the settlers a meager pittance, and almost every day we see a drove of bullocks used to draw one, or sometimes two or three large logs. We count six, seven, or eight span, moving slowly along with their burden. Six span of bullocks were used to plow our land for cultivation. They are under discipline, and will move at a word and a crack of a whip, which makes a sharp report, but does not touch them. They wheel into line when it seems that they must get tangled up, but the creatures understand their business, and they plod patiently with the immense plow used to break up the unworked soil. {8MR 93.2}[43]
§89
这里周围的人没有种植蔬菜，水果也很少，只有几棵没有培育的桔子和柠檬树，我还看见过几棵桃树。种地无利可图，可是在房地产泡沫中它却值每英亩八英镑，其中一些现在卖四英镑。数千英亩土地没有开垦过；因为没有人试图种地。他们认为它什么都不会出产，但我们知道，若是适当开垦，它就会出产。{8MR93.3}[44]
§90
The people about here have raised no vegetables, and but little fruit, except a few oranges and lemons that are not cultivated, and I have seen a few peach trees. Land is profitless, but in the land boom it cost eight pounds an acre, some of which now sells for four. Thousands of acres lie untouched; for no one attempts to work the land. They think it will yield nothing, but we know it will yield if properly cultivated. {8MR 93.3}[44]
§91
学校的一千五百英亩土地是花了5,500美元买的。学校有十二英亩作了果园，我有两英亩种果树。我们要在这片土地上作实验，如果我们成功了，别人就会效法我们的榜样。尽管桔子和柠檬年年有出产，居住者们却没有种一棵新树。他们的懒散和怠惰使得他们对土地作了假见证。当采用正确的耕作方法时，贫困现象就会比现在少得多了。{8MR94.1}[45]
§92
The school land, fifteen hundred acres, was purchased for $5,500. The school has twelve acres put into orchard, I have two acres in fruit trees. We shall experiment on this land, and if we make a success, others will follow our example. Notwithstanding oranges and lemons have yielded year after year, not a new tree is planted by the settlers. Their indolence and laziness causes false witness to be borne against the land. When right methods of cultivation are adopted there will be far less poverty than now exists. {8MR 94.1}[45]
§93
我真没想到会这样给你写信，但这些细节我们希望你知道，以便你明白我们在做什么。我们打算给人们关于土地利用的实际教训，从而诱导他们耕种自己现在闲置无用的土地。我们若是在这件事上取得了成功，就会做成很好的宣教工作。{8MR94.2}[46]
§94
I did not expect to write you in this way, but these particulars we want you to have that you may understand what we are doing. We intend to give the people practical lessons upon the improvement of the land, and thus induce them to cultivate their land, now lying idle. If we accomplish this, we shall have done good missionary work. {8MR 94.2}[46]
§95
今天莫斯里夫人给我们带来一些桔子树和柠檬树去栽种。这项工作一做成，我们就要开始种蔬菜。我们得从近一百英里远的悉尼或二十二英里远的纽卡斯尔购买生活用品。但我们希望不久就能培育我们自己的水果和蔬菜。威利不能在这里，所以我在这里代替他，我能监督事情，并与工人们一起计划和商议。我不能照常写作了，可是我一点半、两点、三点钟就起来，一周以来已经写了相当多的东西。（《信函》1895年42号第1-4页，致J.H.凯洛格，1895年8月28日）1977年9月26日发布。{8MR94.3}[47]
§96
Today Mr. Moseley comes to bring oranges and lemon trees for us to set out. As soon as this work is done, we shall begin to plant vegetables. We have to get our groceries from Sydney, nearly a hundred miles away, or from Newcastle, twenty-two miles. But we hope soon to raise our own fruit and vegetables. Willie cannot be here, so I am here in his place, where I can oversee matters, and plan and consult with the workmen. I am called out from my routine of writing, yet I arise at half past one, at two, and three oclock, and for a week have done considerable writing.--Letter 42, 1895, pp. 1-4. (To J. H. Kellogg, August 28, 1895.) Released September 26, 1977. {8MR 94.3}[47]
