    Witness of a Co-worker

    As a fitting commentary upon her work, we believe that the following statement from the pen of Uriah Smith, for nearly forty years one of the editorial staff of the Review and Herald, who was intimately acquainted with Mrs. White, will be of interest:TOJ 36.1

    “From the very commencement of the third angel’s message, there have been visions among us. They have been received by the body as genuine manifestations of the Spirit of God. They have comforted the desponding, and corrected the erring. They have confirmed the doubting, and strengthened the weak. And the truest friends of the cause have cherished and loved them most. It must be a radical revolution, therefore, that would lead us to abandon these for the uncertainties of the future. But as such manifestations were to be in the church, the whole weight of evidence goes in favor of these, unless it can be shown that they are positively and radically defective.TOJ 36.2

    “How then shall we satisfy ourselves on this point? The Bible gives us an infallible test for all these things. By ‘the law and the testimony,’ and ‘by their own fruits,’ we are to judge them. Whatever contradicts in no slightest particular the law and the testimony, and in addition to this tends to elevate, ennoble, and purify, we may be sure comes from above, and not from beneath. But these manifestations do in the strictest manner accord with the teachings of the Word of God, and lead us to study and prize it; while we might safely challenge the world to show a single instance where their influence has tended to depravity and corruption, or where it has not, on the other hand, tended to lead all who would receive them, to holiness and purity of heart.”—The Review and Herald, January 13, 1863.TOJ 36.3
