  • The Later Elmshaven Years Volume 6
    TTHEHE LLATERATER EELMSHAVENLMSHAVEN YYEARSEARS 1905-19151905-1915 VVOLUMEOLUME 66 Ellen G. White Chapter 1 Loma Linda, "Hill Beautiful" To Ellen White the stopover on May 4, in 1905, in Los Angeles was all too short. She was with the party of workers traveling east to Washington, D.C., to attend the 1905 General Conference session. During the past several months her mind had been repeatedly called to the Redlands-Riverside-San Bernardino area, some sixty miles east of Los Angeles, as a place where the church should have a sanitarium--it would be the third such institution in southern California. "I hope," she wrote to Elder E. S. Ballenger on February 26, 1905, "when you see a suitable place in Redlands, which could be used as a sanitarium, offered for sale at a reasonable price, you will let us know about it. We shall need a sanitarium in Redlands. Unless we start an enterprise of this kind, others will."--Letter 83, 1905. Three days later she wrote: "In closing, I would ask you not to forget that sometime a sanitarium will be needed in Redlands."--Letter 89, 1905. Six weeks later she wrote to Elder J. A. Burden, manager of the Glendale Sanitarium: "Redlands and Riverside have been presented to me as places that should be worked.... Please consider the advisability of establishing a sanitarium in the vicinity of these towns."--Letter 115, 1905. Elder Burden reports that at about this time, in the course of a conversation at Elmshaven, Ellen White told the president of the Southern California Conference and one of his committee members that there was a "Sanitarium waiting near Riverside and Redlands," and she thought it was nearer Redlands.

  • Mensajes Selectos Tomo 3 Elena G
    MENSAJES SELECTOS TOMO 3 ELENA G. DE WHITE Consejos significativos y siempre oportunos, de artículos aparecidos en revistas, de declaraciones consignados en manuscritos y de ciertos valiosos folletos agotados desde hace mucho tiempo. Introducción La Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día estuvo siempre muy cerca del corazón de Elena G. de White. Durante su larga vida, el cielo se acercó a ella más de mil veces, con mensajes de ánimo, de instrucción, de información, de reproche y corrección. Estas numerosas visiones fueron dadas para guiar y proteger a los miembros de la iglesia remanente de Dios que guarda el sábado, tanto en forma individual como colectiva. Ella declaró cuando la iglesia era atacada: "Sé que el Señor ama a su iglesia" (Mensajes selectos, t. 2, p. 78). Y escribió con toda ternura: "La iglesia de Cristo, por debilitada y defectuosa que sea, es el único objeto en la tierra al cual él concede su suprema consideración" (Testimonios para los ministros, p. 15). Elena de White amaba profundamente a la iglesia. Toda su vida fue dedicada a su bienestar y a su triunfo final. Cuán apropiado es, entonces, que este volumen de Mensajes selectos se inicie con una definición de lo que es la iglesia, extraída de una carta de consejo enviada a un administrador que trabajaba fuera de Estados Unidos. Esta definición es seguida por amonestaciones que instan a la unidad como un medio de fortaleza y que advierten contra la acción independiente, acción que sólo podría debilitar los esfuerzos de la iglesia para alcanzar y rescatar a un mundo en confusión.
