我在最近十五年作主所赐给我的见证时，一直受到许多人的反对，他们成了我苦毒的敌人，特别是那些其错误和罪恶已被启示给我，我也将之揭露出来的人。其中有些人已将他们的报复情绪付诸行动，就如可以预料到的，他们攻击谦卑的器皿，传播不利的谣言反对我。{2SG 294.1}[1]
§3
In bearing the testimony which the Lord has given me for the last fifteen years, I have been opposed by many who became my bitter enemies, especially those whose errors and sins have been revealed to me, and have been exposed by me. Some of these have carried out their feelings of revenge, as might be expected, in attacking the humble instrument, and circulating unfavorable reports against me.?{2SG 294.1}[1]
§4
因为这些事使一些不知道我早期经验的人烦恼不安，熟悉我最近十到十五年的经验和工作的弟兄姐妹们便将他们的见证放在我手中，叫我在必要时使用。这在过去的两年一直对我有益，很可能在将来也会有益。我要提到其中一个见证。{2SG 294.2}[2]
§5
As these things have troubled some who have had no knowledge of my early experience, my brethren and sisters who have known my experience and labors for the last ten or fifteen years have put into my hands their testimonies for me to use when?necessary. These have been a benefit to me the past two years, and probably will be in the future. One instance I will mention.?{2SG 294.2}[2]
§6
在伊利诺斯州的克雷恩斯格罗夫的时候，开会讨论了几个信奉将来时代、不守安息日的讲道人计划当众公布的一些谣言。然而当他们获悉我们为这些谣言作了准备的时候，斯蒂芬森长老便对我的丈夫说，他们不打算做这事了！我在此要给出这些见证中的两个见证，还有别的一些见证是那些已经读过本书印好页面的那些人所寄给我的。{2SG 295.1}[3]
§7
At the time of the Crane’s Grove, (Ills.), conference and discussion several of the age-to-come, no-Sabbath preachers designed to bring out before the public some of the reports in circulation. But when they learned that we were prepared for them, Elder Stephenson stated to my husband that they had concluded to do nothing about it! I will here give two of these testimonies, also some others which have been sent to me by those who have read the printed sheets of this book.?{2SG 295.1}[3]
§8
我在此要对其他一切能自由而且情愿给这些见证署名的人说，请直接把名字寄来。还有那些能证实本书所述其它事实的人，也请将他们的见证和姓名照着他们所乐意的一同寄来。{2SG 295.2}[4]
§9
And I would here state to all others who can freely and cheerfully give their names to these testimonies to send them in immediately. Also those who can testify to other facts stated in this book will please send their testimonies with the names of as many as can cheerfully give them.?{2SG 295.2}[4]

§17
September 20, 1860, my fourth child, John Herbert White, was born. When he was three weeks old my husband felt it to be his duty to travel West. About one week before he was to visit Mauston, we received letters from M. E. S. for publication, purporting to be visions given her of the Lord. As we read these communications we felt distressed. We knew that they were not from the right source. And as my husband knew nothing of what he was about to meet at Mauston, we feared he would be unprepared to meet the fanaticism, and that it would have a discouraging influence upon his mind. We had passed through so many such scenes in our early experience, and had suffered so much from these unruly, untamable spirits, that we have dreaded to be brought in contact with them.?{2SG 294a.1}[8]
§18
1860年9月20日，我的第四个孩子约翰·赫伯特·怀特出生了。当他三周大时，我丈夫感到有责任前往西部。约在他去访问威斯康星州莫斯顿一周之前，我们收到了M. E. S.姐妹写给出版社的信，声称主赐给了她异象。当我们读这些信件时，我们感到哀伤；我们知道那些异象来源不正。因为我丈夫不知道他要在莫斯顿遭遇什么事，我们就担心他会没有准备好对付狂热盲信，也担心这会对他的心产生令人气馁的影响。在我们早期的经验中，我们曾经历过许多这样的场面，忍受过许多蛮横不驯的精神，以致我们害怕与他们接触。{2SG 294.2}[9]
§19
I sent in a request for the church at Battle Creek to pray for my husband, and at our family altar we earnestly sought the Lord. With brokenness of spirit, and many tears, we tried to fasten our trembling faith upon God’s promises, and we had?the evidence that God heard us pray, and that he would stand by my husband, and impart to him counsel and wisdom.?{2SG 294a.2}[9]
§20
我请巴特尔克里克教会为我丈夫祷告，我们也在自己的家庭祭坛恳切地为他寻求主。我们以忧伤的灵和许多的眼泪，努力使我们战兢的信心抓住上帝的应许，并且得了证据，知道祂听我们的祷告，愿意站在我丈夫身边，赐给他忠告和智慧。{2SG 294.3}[10]
§21
While looking in the Bible for a verse for Willie to commit to memory to repeat in the Sabbath School, these words arrested my attention, ”The Lord is good. A strong hold in the time of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.“ I could but weep over these words, they seemed so appropriate. The whole burden upon my mind was for my husband, and the church in Wisconsin. My husband realized the blessing of God while in Wisconsin. The Lord was to him a stronghold in time of trouble. He sustained him while he bore a decided testimony against the wild fanaticism there, and upheld him by his free Spirit.?{2SG 295a.1}[10]
§22
我在寻找一节经文给威利在安息日学背诵时，这节经文吸引了我的注意力：“耶和华本为善，在患难的日子为人的保障，并且认得那些投靠祂的人”（鸿1:7）。我禁不住哭了，这些话看来是那么适当。我心中全部的重担都是关于我丈夫和威斯康星州的教会的。我丈夫在威斯康星州时确实体会到了上帝的福气。在患难的日子，主是他的保障，并且藉祂使人自由的灵支持了他，使他作了明确的见证，反对那里疯狂的狂热盲信。{2SG 295.1}[11]
§23
I received a letter from my husband written at Mackford, Wis., in which he stated, ”I fear that all is not well at home. I have had some impressions as to the babe.“ While praying for the family at home, he had a presentiment that the child was very sick. The babe seemed lying before him with face and head dreadfully swollen. When I received the letter the babe was as well as usual; but the next morning he was taken very sick. It was an extreme case of erysipelas in the face and head. When my husband reached Bro. Wickr’s, near Round Grove, Ills., the telegraphic despatch, stating the sickness of the child, was handed him, and as he read, he stated to those present that he?was prepared for the news, for the Lord had prepared his mind for it. And that they would hear that the child’s head and face were greatly affected.?{2SG 295a.2}[11]
§24
当我丈夫还在威斯康星州的麦克福德时，他给我写了一封信，信中说：“我担心家中不是一切都好。我对婴儿有些观感。”他在为家人祷告时，曾预感到婴儿病得很重。婴儿似乎躺在他面前，脸和头肿胀得可怕。当我收到信时，孩子很好，和往常一样；但第二天他就生了重病，脸和头患了极其严重的丹毒。当我丈夫抵达靠近伊利诺斯州朗德格罗夫的威克弟兄家时，收到电报说孩子病了。在读了电报之后，他对在场的人说对这消息并不感到惊奇，因为主已为这事预备了他的心，他们还会听说孩子的头和脸严重感染了。{2SG 295.2}[12]
§25
My dear babe was a great sufferer. Twenty-four days and nights we anxiously watched over him, using all the remedies we could for his recovery, and earnestly presenting his case to the Lord. At times I could not control my feelings as I witnessed his sufferings. Much of my time was spent in tears, and humble supplication to God. But our heavenly Father saw fit to remove my lovely babe.?{2SG 296.1}[12]
§26
我可爱的宝宝受了太多的苦。我们每天不分昼夜地照看他，用尽了各种我们能找到的治疗方法，而且恳切地将他的情况呈报给上帝。看到他遭罪，我心如刀绞，不能自己。我的大部分时间都是以泪洗面，谦恭地向上帝祈求。但我们的天父认为适于取走我们所爱的孩子。{2SG 296.1}[13]
§27
December 14, I was called up. My babe was worse. I listened to his labored breathing, and felt his pulseless wrist. I knew that he must die. That was an hour of anguish for me. The icy hand of death was already upon him. We watched his feeble, gasping breath, until it ceased, and we felt thankful that his sufferings were ended. When my child was dying, I could not weep. I fainted at the funeral. My heart ached as though it would break, yet I could not shed a tear. We were disappointed in not having Bro. Loughborough to conduct the funeral services, and my husband spoke upon the occasion to a crowded house. We followed our child to Oak Hill cemetery, there to rest until the Life-giver shall come, and break the fetters of the tomb, and call him forth immortal.?{2SG 296.2}[13]
§28
12月14日他的情况更糟糕了，我被叫了起来。我听着他费力的呼吸，摸着他失去脉动的手腕。我知道他马上就要死了。那是非常折磨人的时刻。死亡那冰冷的手已经放在了他的身上。我们看着他微弱的呼吸，直到停止，绷紧的心放了下来，他的苦难总算结束了。当我的孩子快不行的时候，我连哭都哭不出来了。我在葬礼上晕倒了。我的心痛得好像已经碎了，但是我还是没有掉一滴泪。我们感到失望的是没有拉夫伯勒弟兄主持葬礼仪式，我丈夫在这场合向满屋子的人讲了话。随后我们跟从我们的孩子去了橡山公墓，他在那里安息，直到赐生命的主要来，打破坟墓的羁绊，召他出来承受永生。{2SG 296.2}[14]
§29
After we returned from the funeral, my home seemed lonely. I felt reconciled to the will of God, yet despondency and gloom settled upon me.?{2SG 296.3}[14]
§30
当我们从葬礼回来后，我的家看起来是那么的凄凉。我感觉自己顺从了上帝的意愿，但是心中却充满了失望和忧郁。{2SG 296.3}[15]
§31
The discouragements brought upon us the past Summer, we could not rise above. As to the state of God’s people, we knew not what we might expect. Satan had controlled the minds of some closely connected with us in the work, even some who had been acquainted with our mission, and seen the fruits of our labors, and have not only witnessed the manifestations of the power of God many times, but had felt its influence upon their own bodies. What could we hope for in the future? While my child lived I thought I understood my duty. I pressed my dear babe to my heart, and rejoiced that at least for one Winter I should be released from any great responsibility, for it could not be my duty to travel in Winter with my infant. But when he was taken from me, I was again thrown into great perplexity.?{2SG 297.1}[15]
§32
我不能起而超越去年夏天的种种失望。根据上帝子民的状况，我们不知道可以期望什么。撒但已控制了一些在工作上与我们密切相关之人的心，甚至控制了一些很熟悉我们的使命并见过我们工作果效之人的心，他们不仅亲眼见过上帝能力的频繁显示，而且亲身感受过上帝能力的影响。我们对将来还能有什么指望呢？当我的孩子还活着时，我以为我明白自己的责任。我把亲爱的婴孩紧紧抱在胸前，欢喜快乐地以为终于有一个冬天可以解脱重责了，因为我的责任不可能是带着婴孩在冬天旅行。但当他从我身边被取走时，我就再次陷入了极大的困惑中。{2SG 297.1}[16]
§33
The condition of the cause, and the state of God’s people, nearly crushed us. Our happiness has depended upon the state of the cause of God. When God’s people are in a prospering condition, we feel free. But when they are in disorder and backslidden, nothing can make us joyful. Our whole interest and life has been interwoven with the rise and progress of the third angel’s message. We are bound up in it, and when it does not prosper, we experience great suffering of mind. About this time my husband, as he reviewed the past, began to lose confidence in almost everybody. Many of those he had tried to befriend had acted the part?of enemies, and some that he had helped the most with his own scanty purse, and his influence with others, had been putting forth a perpetual effort to injure him, and cast burdens upon him. One Sabbath morning as he was going to our place of worship, an overpowering sense of such injustice came over him, and he turned aside to weep aloud while the congregation waited for him.?{2SG 297.2}[16]
§34
上帝的圣工和子民的状况几乎把我们压垮了。我们的幸福总是取决于上帝圣工的状况的。当祂的子民处于兴旺状态时，我们就感到自由；当他们退后不和时，什么都不能使我们快乐。我们全部的利益和生命都交织在第三位天使信息的兴起与进展中。我们与这信息紧密相连，它几时不兴旺，我们的心就经历极大的痛苦。约在此时，我丈夫既回顾了过去，就开始几乎对每一个人丧失信心了。他曾友好对待的许多人都成了敌人，有些曾被他的影响和他自己羞涩的钱囊帮助最多的人，不断在设法伤害他，给他加担子。一个安息日早上，当他去我们礼拜的地方时，这种不公平的感觉以压倒性的力量临到了他，以致他转身去大哭了一场，而会众们还在等着他。{2SG 297.2}[17]
§35
From the commencement of our labors, we have been called to bear a plain, pointed testimony, to reprove wrongs and spare not. And all the way there have been those who have stood in opposition to our testimony, and have followed after to speak smooth things, daub with untempered mortar, and destroy the influence of our labors. The Lord would rein us up to bear reproof, and then individuals have stepped right in between us and the people to make our testimony of none effect. Many visions have been given, that we must occupy the position to stir up the people of God; and not shun to declare his counsel, for the church was asleep in their sins. But few have sympathized with us, while many have sympathized with the wrong, and with those who have been reproved. These things crushed us, and we felt that we had no testimony to bear in the church. We knew not who to confide in. All these things forced themselves upon us, and hope died within us. We retired to rest about midnight, but I could not sleep. A severe pain was in my heart and I could find no relief. I fainted a number of times.?{2SG 298.1}[17]
§36
从我们工作的开端，我们就蒙召要做明白中肯的见证，责备错误，不可止息。自始至终都有人反对我们的见证，设法说柔和的话，用未泡透的灰抹墙，破坏我们作工的影响。主会勒紧我们的缰绳使我们停下来去传达督责，于是就有人介入我们和上帝的子民中间，要使我们的见证无效。所赐下的许多异象大意都是我们不可避而不宣主的忠告，而要居于激励上帝子民的位置，因为教会正在自己的罪中沉睡。但很少有人同情我们，却有许多人同情犯错的人和受责备的人。这些事把我们压垮了，我们觉得在教会中没有见证可作了。我们不知道信任谁。这一切的事都强加在我们身上，我们心里的希望灭绝了。我们约在午夜停工休息，但我不能入睡。我心中感到剧痛；无从解脱，多次晕倒。{2SG 298.1}[18]
§37
My husband sent for Brn. C. Smith, Amadon and Kellogg. Their fervent prayers were heard, relief came, and I was taken off in vision. Then I was shown that we must still bear our testimony, straight and pointed. That we had a work to do. Then the individuals were presented before me who have shunned the pointed testimony. I saw the influence of their teachings upon God’s people. I was shown the condition of the people in _____ _____. They have the theory of truth, but are not sanctified through it. I saw that when the messengers enter a new place, their labor is worse than lost unless they bear a plain, pointed testimony. They should keep up the distinction between the church of Jesus Christ, and formal, dead professors. There was a failure in _____. Bro. _____ was fearful of offending, fearful lest the peculiarities of our faith should appear, and the standard was lowered down to the people. The fact should have stood out living before the people, that we possess truths of vital importance, and that their eternal interest depended upon the decision they would make. And in order to be sanctified through the truth, their idols must be given up, their sins be confessed, and they bring forth fruit meet for repentance.?{2SG 299.1}[18]
§38
我丈夫请来了C.史密斯，阿马登和凯洛格弟兄。他们热切的祈祷蒙了应允，我得了解脱，进了异象。于是我蒙指示见到我们必须仍作我们的见证，率直而中肯。我们有一项工作要做。我看到有一些人避开了率直的见证。我看见他们的教训对上帝子民的影响。某地教会信徒的状况也呈现在我面前。他们有真理的理论，却没有因之成圣。我看见当使者们进入一个新地区时，他们若不作明白中肯的见证，就比不作工还糟糕。他们应该保持基督的教会与有名无实之自称信主者的区别。某地在这方面失败了。某弟兄害怕得罪人，害怕显露我们的信仰特色；就降低了标准以迎合群众。他原应向他们强调我们所拥有的真理是至关重要的，他们永恒的利益取决于他们在此所做的决定；为了藉着真理成圣，他们应该放弃自己的偶像，承认自己的罪，并且结出果子来与悔改的心相称。{2SG 299.1}[19]
§39
Those who engage in the solemn work of bearing the third angel’s message, must move out decidedly, and in the Spirit and power of God, fearlessly preach the truth, and let it cut. They should?elevate the standard of truth, and urge the people to come up to it. It has been lowered down to meet the people in their condition of darkness and sin. It is the pointed testimony that will bring up the people to decide. A peaceful testimony will not do this. The people have the privilege of listening to this kind of teaching from the pulpits of the day. But God has servants to whom he has entrusted a solemn, fearful message, to bring out and fit up a people for the coming of Christ. There is as great a difference in our faith and that of nominal professors, as the heavens are higher than the earth.?{2SG 299.2}[19]
§40
那些从事传扬第三位天使信息之严肃工作的人，必须果断地开始行动，本着上帝的灵与能力无畏地传讲真理，让它刺入剖开。他们应该高举真理的标准，并且督促人们达到这标准。真理的标准常被降低以迎合人们黑暗罪恶的状况。那率直的见证要使他们做出决定。和平的见证不会成就这事。人们有权从当时的讲台听到这种教导；但上帝有仆人，祂已托付他们严肃可畏的信息，要为基督的降临产生并装备一班人。我们的信仰与名义上信主之人的信仰有极大的差别，就象天高过地一样。{2SG 299.2}[20]
§41
The people are asleep in their sins, and need to be alarmed before they can shake off this lethargy. Their ministers have preached smooth things. God’s servants, who bear sacred, vital truths. should cry aloud and spare not, that the truth may tear off the garment of security, and find its way to the heart. The straight testimony that the people in _____ should have had was walked all around, and the seed of truth was sown among thorns, and has been choked by the thorns.?{2SG 300.1}[20]
§42
人们在他们的罪中沉睡，需要被警告才能摆脱这种嗜睡症。他们的传道人讲了柔和的话；但上帝的仆人既传讲神圣重要的真理，就应大声喊叫，不可止息，以便真理扯掉安全的外衣，得到门路进入人心。原应传给某地之人的率直的见证被传道人回避了；真理的种子撒在了荆棘里，被荆棘挤住了。{2SG 300.1}[21]
§43
God’s servants must bear a pointed testimony. It will cut the natural heart, and develop character. Brn. _____ and _____ moved with a perfect restraint upon them while in _____. Such preaching will never do the work that God designs to have accomplished. There is enough scringing, and crippling, and wrapping up pointed truths, which rebuke sin by the ministers of the nominal churches. Unless souls embrace the message aright, and their hearts are prepared to receive it, they had better let it entirely alone.?{2SG 300.2}[21]
§44
上帝的仆人必须作率直的见证，刺入属肉体的心并发展人的品格。N和O弟兄在某地时行动完全受限。这种讲道决不会做上帝原计划要完成的工作。挂名教会的传道人已做了足够多阿谀奉承的事，削弱和掩饰了斥责罪恶的率直真理。人们若不正确地信奉这信息，他们的心若不预备好接受它，倒不如完全不接触它。{2SG 300.2}[22]
§45
In view of the slanderous reports circulated by a few individuals against bro. and sister White, we feel called upon to testify that we have been personally acquainted with them and their course since 1844, and therefore know that any statements that would represent them as being in any wise connected with, or countenancing in any degree, those fanatical abominations into which some in maine and elsewhere were drawn during the years 1844-1846, are wicked and malicious falsehoods. We have never known them to be in the least infected with the spirit or works of fanaticism, but on the contrary, as the untiring and unflinching opposers of the same. H. N. Smith, George Cobb, S. B.

考虑到由少数人所传播的反对怀氏夫妇的诽谤性谣言，我们感到有必要证明我们一直亲自熟悉他们和他们自从1844年以来的行为，知道凡把他们描绘成在任何程度上以任何方式与1844-1846年缅因州等地发生可憎的狂热盲信行为有关或予以支持的任何言论，都是邪恶而且恶毒的谎言。我们知道他们从未受过一点狂热精神或行为的影响，相反，他们一直是不知疲倦地而无畏地反对那种精神的。 H. N. 史密斯,乔治.科布,S.

James White and wife, it is a pleasure to us to testify that we have been personally acquainted with them since 1844. they have had no sympathy with the no-work theory, voluntary humility, spiritual second advent, and spiritual union not in?accordance with the law of marriage, but ever raised their voices against these different forms of fanaticism which prevailed with some in New England.
