Exhibits Relating to the Writing of The Desire of Ages

Exhibit 78—Monday, March 5, 1900, Marian Davis to Marius Christensen

Many persons seem to attach far more value to an unpublished manuscript of Sister White than to the matter printed in books. But in all she has written I know of nothing better than the things to which reference has been given. In such books as Desire of Ages, have been carefully gathered together many of the most precious things which she has written during a score of years. ERWDA 40.3
