“I was in a large house where there was a pulpit somewhat like those we use in our meetinghouses. On it stood many lamps which were burning. These lamps needed a constant supply of oil, and quite a number of us were engaged in carrying oil and filling them. Brother White and his companion were busily engaged, and I noticed that Sister White poured in more oil than any other. Then Brother White went to a door which opened into a warehouse, where there were many barrels of oil. He opened the door and went in, and Sister White followed. Just then a company of men came along, with a great quantity of black stuff that looked like soot, and heaped it all upon Brother and Sister White, completely covering them with it. I felt much grieved, and looked anxiously to see the end of these things. I could see Brother and Sister W. both working hard to get out from under the soot, and after a long struggle they came out as bright as ever, and the evil men and the soot disappeared. Then Brother and Sister White engaged again more heartily than ever in supplying the lamps with oil, but Sister W. still had the precedence. {1T 597.3}

"Jeg var i et stort hus, hvor der var en talerstol, nogenlunde som dem vi bruger i vore mødehuse. Oppe på den stod brændende lamper. Disse lamper behøvede hele tiden at blive forsynet med olie og en del af os var i færd med at komme med olie og fylde dem. Bror White og hans ledsager, var travlt optaget og jeg lagde mærke til at søster White hældte mere olie i end nogen andre. Så gik bror White hen mod døren som vendte ud mod varelageret, hvor der var (598) mange olietønder. Han åbnede døren og gik ind og søster White fulgte efter. Lige efter kom et følge af mænd, med en masse sort materiale der så ud som sod og dyngede det på bror og søster White og dækkede dem fuldstændig med det. Jeg følte mig meget bedrøvet og var spændt på hvad dette ville ende med. Jeg kunne se at både bror og søster White arbejdede hårdt for at komme ud af soden og efter lang kamp kom de ud lige så opvakte, som altid og de onde mænd og soden forsvandt. Så kom bror og søster White igen i gang, mere ivrigt end før med at forsyne lamperne med olie, men søster W, havde stadig forrang.
