Caravan to Hot Sulphur Springs

A Week at Hot Sulphur Springs

As spring came to Switzerland, plans were being laid for the work in Europe. Ellen White wrote in a newsy letter:

The Lord gave me testimony calculated to encourage. My own soul was blessed, and light seemed to spring up amid the darkness ( Ibid. ).

As spring approached, there was some improvement; and in October she decided to try the drier climate of Adelaide, South Australia. There she spent six weeks, with beneficial results.

Early in April, Ellen White testified that she was enjoying good health and the beautiful weather: “Everything is looking so green and lovely that we are sure winter is passed and spring has come.”— Letter 41, 1886 .

“About this time,” she continued in her account of her activities in late spring, 1845, “I was shown that it was my duty to visit our people in New Hampshire.”

This experience, apparently in her own home in Portland, Maine, in the late spring or early summer in 1845, marks a significant turn in Ellen's experience, for she observed as she related it:

S. W. Rhodes, laboring in Ohio, announced in the Review that a conference would be held in Green Spring, to begin at 2:00 P.M., Friday, February 26. James White appended a note:

Spring has come again. The earth has thrown off her white shroud, and nature is waking to life. The birds are returning to cheer us again with their happy songs in the glorious sunshine.
