Mr. Sargent and Mr. Robbins weren’t what you’d call Ellen Harmon fans. (Ellen Harmon was Ellen White’s name before she got married.) They insisted she had a devil possessing her and that no one could trust her visions. When they heard that she’d be speaking at a church in Boston, they made arrangements to be somewhere else.
As they were settling in for a meeting at a friend’s home in Randolph, a town thirteen miles away, who should walk in but Ellen Harmon! God had given His young prophet a vision explaining that she should attend this gathering instead.
Robbins and Sargent made sure the visiting girl didn’t get a chance to say anything. They hogged the whole meeting, telling personal stories and keeping attention away from Ellen. Suddenly Miss Harmon cried out, «Glory, glory, glory»—words she often spoke when the Lord was showing her something.
«She’s in vision!» the people gasped.
«No, she’s not,» the two men insisted. They tried to drown out her words, but everyone was interested in what the young woman was saying and told them to hush up. Someone brought a large Bible and handed it to Ellen, thinking that if her vision was from the devil, the Bible would end it. But the girl took the Book, held it above her head, and began reciting passages and turning the pages.
The vision lasted nearly four hours. Robbins and Sargent didn’t have an opportunity to speak. But no one wanted to listen to them anyway. Many were convinced that Miss Harmon’s visions were from God.
Our heavenly Father always finds ways to reach us, no matter what others say and do.
