Arthur Lacey White, one of seven grandchildren of James and Ellen White, was born to William C. (Willie) and Ethel May White on October 6, 1907. He grew up in picturesque Pratt Valley, just below the St. Helena Sanitarium in Northern California. This small valley cradled not only the W. C. White home but Elmshaven, the home of Ellen White, and several others. Arthur attended the nearby ten-grade church school and then continued his education at Pacific Union College. He received a certificate in business administration in 1928 and that same year was united in marriage with a classmate, Frieda Belle Swingle. The newlyweds moved to Madison College in Tennessee, he to serve as assistant accountant and she as secretary to college and hospital personnel. {1BIO 7.1}

The following year Arthur was called to the office of the Ellen G. White Estate at Elmshaven to serve as accountant and general assistant to his 74-year-old father. The latter was one of five church leaders appointed by Ellen White in her will to administer her estate; when Arthur joined him in 1929 he was secretary of the Board of Trustees. During the next nine years Arthur was given increasing responsibilities, and in 1933 he was appointed assistant secretary of the Board. Shortly after the death of W. C. White at the age of 83, in late 1937, Arthur was elected as a life member of the board and secretary of the Estate, a position he held for forty-one years. {1BIO 7.2}

他父亲去世后，为长远之计，由怀亚瑟负责，把办公室和怀爱伦的文稿转移到了首都华盛顿的基督复临安息日会全球总部。他的主要任务包括在全球园地推广预言之灵的著作，将怀爱伦的文稿著作编辑成书出版，比如《布道论》，《复临信徒家庭》和《信息选粹》等。编辑出版三卷本的《怀爱伦著作综合索引》是这类工作的顶峰。{1BIO 7.3}

On the death of his father, in harmony with plans of long standing, Arthur supervised the immediate transfer of the office and E. G. White files to the world headquarters of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Washington, D.C. Principal tasks included working with the world field in the development of the available Spirit of Prophecy literature and assembling E. G. White materials for publication, in compilations such as Evangelism, The Adventist Home, and Selected Messages, climaxed by the three-volume Comprehensive Index to the Writings of Ellen G. White. {1BIO 7.3}

With the development of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, Arthur White was drawn into a teaching program in Washington, Berrien Springs, and overseas.

1966年，怀爱伦著作托管委员会经与全球总会领袖商议，决定请怀长老撰写完整的怀爱伦传记。因为他与传记对象特殊的个人关系，他感到犹豫不决。但是，由于他早期传道的时候就取了一种立场，像其它忠实的安息日复临信徒一样，谈到怀爱伦时，他把她当作“怀姐妹”，而不是当作“我的祖母”。他接受了这个任务。1978年，他辞去了怀爱伦著作托管委员会行政干事一职，把他几乎全部的精力都放在了传记写作上。按照他精心编排的时间表，每年写一卷——总共六卷－－他的工作大部分都是在他家的书房里完成的。在那里，他可以一心一意地研究和写作；同时，在怀爱伦著作托管委员会的保险库里，他很容易就能找到他所需要的资料。{1BIO 8.2}

In 1966 the Board of Trustees, in counsel with the General Conference officers, asked Arthur White to author a definitive biography of Ellen White. Hesitant because of his personal relationship to the subject of the biography, but conditioned by his stance taken early in his ministry that he would relate to Ellen White as would any other loyal Seventh-day Adventist, viewing her as “Sister White” and not as “my grandmother,” he accepted the assignment. In 1978 he resigned as secretary of the Ellen G. White Estate to devote his energies almost exclusively to the biography project. Adhering to a careful schedule, he produced one volume each year, doing his work largely in his study at home, where he could give undivided attention to research and writing while at the same time maintaining easy access to the rich sources in the White Estate vault. {1BIO 8.2}

完成这项艰巨的任务后，怀亚瑟和弗里达搬到了他们位于加州鹿园的退休之家，那里的花园、果园和工作间坐落在圣赫勒拿健康中心和普拉特山谷上方的山顶上，普拉特山谷是亚瑟出生的地方。发行人{1BIO 8.3}

The foundations of the Seventh-day Adventist Church had been quite well established by the early 1860s, the time with which this volume opens. The doctrinal structure was well formed, each major point having been dug from the word of God and its certainty attested to by the Spirit of God. The battle for church organization had been fought and largely won. {1BIO 8.3}
