Leader of Adventists dead. Mrs. Ellen G. White Passes Away After Over Seventy Years of Christian Labor.

As Ellen White addressed the students and faculty, she was disappointed that there was dead silence. She wrote a few days later:

MRS. E. G. WHITE, EMINENT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST DEAD. Interesting Sketch of the Life and Works of This Very Remarkable Woman.

Some months later when she herself heard a sermon on the sleep of the dead, she believed it to be the truth. Of this she wrote:

Building on this, Everts entered into a well-reasoned conclusion that “it appears ... that the righteous dead have been under investigative judgment since 1844.”— Ibid. He declared:

My dear brethren, from the scriptures referred to I solemnly believe that the judgment has been going on in the heavenly sanctuary since 1844, and that upon the righteous dead.— Ibid.

Too many lines of work were carried on, which were merely dead weights. Seemingly a labored effort was being made to keep up appearances for the sake of appearances.

… the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.”

From the time that light in regard to the sleep of the dead dawned upon my mind, the mystery that had enshrouded the resurrection vanished, and the great event itself assumed a new and sublime importance.— Ibid., 171 .

I fully agree with you, that there will be two literal resurrections, one thousand years apart. I also agree with you that the new earth will not appear till after the wicked dead are raised, and destroyed, at the end of the thousand years.
