Authority to Present An Appropriate Message
Had Mrs. White the authority and right to make changes in her published writings either by addition, or by any change whatever in the forms of expression, the manner of description, or the plan of the argument? She said, “Yes, indeed; that is my duty.”BSRWEGW 15.1
It is generally admitted that in Mrs. White’s discourses, spoken to the people, she used great wisdom in the selection of the subject to be presented and in her way of making plain the lesson she was presenting. And she rarely ever repeated a discourse in identical language.BSRWEGW 15.2
And she always said that it was her duty to use the same wisdom in the selection of matter for her books, that she used in the selection of matter for her discourses. She often said, “Time and circumstances must always be taken into account.”BSRWEGW 15.3
