Ellen G. White: The Lonely Years: 1876-1891 (vol. 3)

General Conference Business

Developments early in the session pointed to the need of expanding educational facilities overseas, particularly in Australia. Haskell suggested that strength and inspiration would be brought to that field if Ellen White could spend some time there. Such thinking was not at all agreeable to her, for she hoped that she could soon find some quiet place and get on with her work on the life of Christ. Official action taken at the session called for establishing a school in Australia but said nothing about an E. G. White visit. So she tried to put that matter out of her mind and proceed with plans for her work as if there would be no interruption. 3BIO 483.1
