White, took place while she was giving a talk to the General Conference Committee at Lake Goguac, near Battle Creek, Michigan, July 14, 1890.] Elder White: “I have heard you say, Mother, that we should have more teaching and less preaching; less preaching and more teaching. Speaking of the matter of getting the people together and having Bible readings.” (VSS 234.1) MC VC

Ellen White: “That was the way in Christ’s day. He would speak to the people, and they would call out a question as to what that meant. He was a teacher of the people.” (VSS 234.2) MC VC
