Ngonyaka ka-1858 umFundisi noNkosikazi White babeye kwintlanganiso ethile eLovett’s Grove, kufuphi neBowling Green, Ohio. Apho kwakhona uNkosikazi White waboniswa embonweni izinto ezininzi ezibalulekileyo kwibandla lesisalela. Ngawo lombono wabhala esithi: “E-Lovett’s Grove, inkoliso yooko ndakubonayo kwiminyaka elishumi edluleyo ngokusingisele kwimpikiswano yamaphakade ephakathi koKristu noSatana, kwaphindwa, ndaza ndayalelwa ukuba ndikubhale.”— Life Sketches of Ellen G. White, page 162.

Kwangokunjalo, iindlela zangoku zokubhala amagama, nokwalatha izinqumamo, nenkcazo-kuthetha kusetyenziswe zona. Ngaphandle ke kwezinguqulelo umongo wentetho yangaphambhili wona awuguqulwanga, kusagcinwe okuya kucaca nokuya kwandlalwa ngokubanzi komcimbhi obalulekileyo obekwayo.IL 9.2
