    Mrs. Ensign’s Testimony Concerning the Visions

    As a confirmation of the above fact, and as proof that the prediction was made on the day stated, and as an illustration of how the congregation understood it and circulated it, the following testimony is given:—GSAM 338.3

    “This certifies that I was living in St. Joseph County, Michigan, in January, 1861, about six miles from Parkville. I was not an Adventist. On the 12th day of that month a number of my neighbors went to Parkville to attend meetings. When they came home they told me that there was a woman at the meeting that was in a trance, and who said that there was a terrible war coming on the United States; that large armies were going to be raised on both sides, in the South as well as in the North, and there would be many who would suffer in prisons; and pinching want would be felt in many families in consequence of losing husbands, sons, and brothers in the war; and that there were men in the house who would lose sons in that war.” Signed, “Martha V. Ensign, Wild Flower, Fresno County, California, Jan. 30, 1891.”GSAM 338.4

    In connection with the prediction of that fearful war, Mrs. White further stated that Seventh-day Adventists “would be brought into strait places in consequence of the war, and that it was the duty of all to earnestly pray that wisdom might be given them to know what to do in the trying times before them.”GSAM 339.1
