only a few clothes, and so Grandmother gave her

blue, one a golden color. She told this young lady,

have at least one red dress.”?

travellers, boat trip, praying, reading and writing…?

The Sober Look
George Knight
“Photography until about 1880 was a slow process
requiring long, tedious time-exposures. The trick was
to keep as still as possible for the duration of the
sitting. That meant keeping a straight face, since it is
much more difficult to keep one’s muscles still in a
smiling posture than when straight-faced. Thus the
sober look. Photographic technology improved later
in her life, but the custom of looking serious hadn’t
yet given way to smiling for portraits.”
Walking with Ellen White, 23.
S. P. S. Edwards (1873-1965)
“She always looked you straight in the face unless she
was reading. “ According to Edwards, Ellen White
was neither handsome nor homely, but “she had the
sweetest smile that broke out frequently and made
her face beautiful. Her eyes were large and became
larger if she was in earnest or excited and grew
smaller when she smiled.” Her voice was pleasing
and had “tremendous carrying power”.”
Walking with Ellen White, 62.
A Cheerful Religion!
“Christians should be the most cheerful and happy
people that live. They may have the consciousness
that God is their father and their everlasting friend.
But many professed Christians do not correctly
represent the Christian religion. They appear gloomy,
as if under a cloud. They often speak of the great
sacrifices they have made to become Christians.”

A Cheerful Religion!
“I am sometimes greatly perplexed to know what to do,
but I will not be depressed. I am determined to bring
all the sunshine into my life that I possibly can.”
EGW, MCP, Vol. 2, 492.
A Cheerful Religion!
“It [The religion of Christ] does not mantle the life in
sackcloth; it is not expressed in deep-drawn sighs
and groans. No, no; those who in everything make
God first and last and best, are the happiest people
in the world. Smiles and sunshine are not banished
from their countenance...
Let us never lose sight of the fact that Jesus is a
wellspring of joy. He does not delight in the misery of
human beings, but loves to see them happy.”
EGW, Messages to Young People, 38.
