 Plagiarized Pictures? The allegation has been made that Mrs. White stole pictures
from a book by Wylie to use in an 1886 edition of one of her own books, and
that she even replaced the name of the original artist with that of "Pacific Press."
Is there any truth in this allegation? |

Zinc Deficiency: A Multitude of Diseases Ellen White identified a host of diseases resulting from a practice
she called "secret vice." It is now known that the very diseases she mentioned
result from zinc deficiency, a deficiency associated with "secret vice." |

| Her Beliefs |
Eschatology: The Millennium Ellen White's eschatology was most definitely pre-millennial. She believed in a
millennium composed of a literal 1000 years, immediately preceded by a literal second coming
of Christ. However, her view of what takes place during the millennium was somewhat
different from that of many evangelicals. See if you think her views were biblical or not. |

| "So we may resist temptation, and force Satan to depart from us.
Jesus gained the victory through submission and faith in God, and by
the apostle He says to us, 'Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist
the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will
draw nigh to you.' James 4:7, 8. We cannot save ourselves from the
tempter's power; he has conquered humanity, and when we try to stand
in our own strength, we shall become a prey to his devices; but 'the name
of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.'
Prov. 18:10. Satan trembles and flees before the weakest soul who finds
refuge in that mighty name." | | (Desire of Ages 130, 131) |

| Fulfilled or Fallacy? |
Rome to Regain Her Lost Supremacy At leastly partly because of Ellen White, Seventh-day Adventists are
one of the few groups still concerned about the papacy retaking control of the world.
Is this concern just a relic of the Dark Ages, or is it possible that it just might happen?
Have the principles the papacy exhibited in the past changed, or does it operate
today pretty much like it always has? |

| Life Sketch Snippet |
Illegally Disfellowshipped The minister did not attempt to refer
to a single text that would prove us in error, but excused himself
on the plea of a want of time. He advised us to quietly withdraw
from the church and avoid the publicity of a trial. . . .
my parents insisted that they should be acquainted with the reasons for this request. [more] |
