    MARVELOUS LEADINGS OF GOD

    As the Sabbath light came to the Adventist believers in New Hampshire, in 1844, they were led to turn their thoughts toward the heavenly sanctuary.HEVI 117.14

    As the light on the sanctuary and its cleansing came to believers in western New York in 1844, it turned the thoughts of their leader, Hiram Edson, toward the Sabbath truth.HEVI 117.15

    And these pioneers in the Sabbath and the sanctuary truths accepted the Spirit of prophecy, as it was manifested before them in those early days. Joseph Bates, after he had cautiously waited and watched and put the gift to the test, accepted it as a guiding help for which to be thankful. Hiram Edson accepted it, as did most of that first company in Washington, New Hampshire. It is pleasing to look at the story of those first years and see that all upon whom Providence had first laid the burden of leading out in making known the great main features of doctrinal truth, accepted all the light and held fast to it to the end of their lives. It is good to know, too, that with them in her last year was Rachel Preston, so used of God to bring the Sabbath light into our first church. She had moved to the State of New York, and so was separated from our pioneer brethren in those years when other truths were being laid hold of. Vicious attacks against the Spirit of prophecy had reached her and brought her into some doubt and darkness. But the reports of the revival that had come to the old church in Washington, New Hampshire, by the labors of James White, Mrs. White and J. N. Andrews, and the reading of a volume of the Spirit of prophecy just issued, brought light and peace to her in her last year (she died in 1868). She fell asleep in Jesus in the hope and comfort of the full advent message. W. A. S. The Review and Herald, December 28, 1939HEVI 117.16
