Chapter 10—The Ellen G. White Books Published Since 1915

Statement by the Trustees of the Ellen G. White Publications Presented at the 1950 General Conference Session

^{*Figures corrected to 1954.} Since Ellen G. White’s death in 1915, twenty-four new E. G. White books have been published. Two of these are a republication of out-of-print books, with some rearrangement and amplification or reduction. Three are the English language edition of Testimony Treasures, the standard world edition of the Testimonies for the Church. Nineteen of these books are new compilations. These serve to make currently available the detailed Spirit of prophecy counsels along certain specific lines. Not a few of these volumes have an annual distribution equal to many of the E. G. White books published prior to 1915. But some now ask:EGWMR 92.1
