Exhibit 47—Tuesday, May 23, 1893, Wellington, New Zealand, Ellen White Diary Entry

It is cloudy and raining this morning. I have been writing upon the life of Christ since four o’clock. Oh, that the Holy Spirit may rest and abide upon me, that my pen may trace the words which will communicate to others the light which the Lord has been pleased in His great mercy and love to give to me. ERWDA 25.2
