A Prophet Among You

SUMMARY

1. Ellen White provided in her will that custody of her writings should be taken by a board of trustees, whom she named. APAY 362.1

2. The trustees were assigned three primary responsibilities: APAY 362.2

To care for and promote the circulation of the Ellen White books in English. APAY 362.3

To provide for their translation and circulation into foreign languages. APAY 362.4

To publish compilations from materials in articles and in the manuscript files. APAY 362.5

3. Books and other compilations issued since Ellen White’s death have been prepared as nearly as possible in the way such works were prepared during her lifetime. APAY 362.6

4. Preparation of such materials for publication today differs from Ellen White’s own preparation in that no changes can be made in the text, no connecting thoughts can be added to join several excerpts. The trustees can deal only with the material at hand. APAY 362.7
