母亲写给孩子的信-第15章
（1861年3月25日写于伊利诺斯州普拉姆河）
我亲爱的儿子亨利，爱德森和威利：因为你们，我心里很是不安。安息日过后的晚上，我梦到我正在看护爱德森。他病得很厉害，快要死了。我那时心里多么痛苦啊！我得不到他爱上帝并为死亡做好了准备的凭据。我把亨利叫到过来并告诉他，他和威利就是留给我的一切了。这三股的绳子断了，我们都感觉多么孤独啊！在梦中，我想到了我亲爱宝贝的垂死挣扎，接下来就是爱德森，他在毫无准备的情形下死去，我的心似乎都要碎了。我大声地哭泣把自己哭醒了。{AY66.3}[1]

（Plum River, Ills. March 25, 1861）
My Dear Sons, Henry, Edson, and Willie,I have been troubled in mind in regard, to you. The evening after the Sabbath I dreamed I was watching over Edson. He had been very sick, and was dying. Oh the anguish of my heart in that hour. I could not have the evidence that he loved God, and was prepared to die. I called Henry to me and told him that he and Willie were all that were?left me. The three-fold cord was broken, and how lonely we all felt. I thought in my dream of the death-struggle of my dear babe, and next of Edson, and then of the unprepared state in which he died, and it seemed that my heart would break. I awoke myself weeping aloud.{AY 66.2}[1]

亲爱的孩子们：这个梦使我反省，并在我心里投射了一种忧伤，使我无法立刻把它赶走。你们没有一个人太年轻以致不能死。你们理解救恩的计划吗？你们的义不能让上帝称赞你们。我认为你们还没有被接纳到祂的家中。我们的罪使耶稣羞辱地死去，借着祂的受苦和死亡我们可以得到赦免。我们感觉到自己是罪人之前，意识到罪的可憎之前，我们的罪能被赦免吗？我认为不能。当我们在上帝面前真诚地悔改我们的罪时，我们将会感到若没有基督赦免的血，我们就必定灭亡。倘若我们把可怜的自己完全放在基督的怜悯之下，并感觉到祂若不拯救我们，我们就必定灭亡；当我们降服自己的意愿，自己的做法，并祈求耶稣来掌控我们的意愿和行为时，我们就会进入能接受并感激其饶恕和罪恶蒙赦免的地步。{AY67.1}[2]
母亲写给孩子的信-第15章
Dear children, this dream has caused me to reflect, and has cast a sadness upon my spirits that I cannot immediately throw off. You are none of you too young to die. Do you understand the plan of salvation? Your righteousness cannot recommend you to God. I do not think that you are yet adopted into his family. Our sins caused Jesus to die a shameful death, that through his sufferings and death we might receive pardon. Can we receive the forgiveness of sins before we feel that we are sinners? and before we realize the sinfulness of sin? I think not. When we repent before God of our sins sincerely, we shall feel that without the pardoning blood of Christ we must perish. If we cast ourselves in our wretchedness wholly upon the mercy of Christ, and feel that unless he saves us we perish; when we yield our own will, our own way, and plead for Jesus to control our will and actions, then we come into a position where we can receive and appreciate pardon and the forgiveness of sin.{AY 67.1}[2]

孩子们：我写信不是要责备你们。在我们看来，你们一直都是非常和善顺服的孩子；虽然有时会任性，却不固执。我希望你们不去看行为错误的人，不要因为你们比他们做得好而自以为义，而要郑重思考你们得到的良好指导，然后问问自己是不是应该远比现在进步。简而言之，你们难道没有足够的亮光使你们的心降服于上帝，喜爱跟从耶稣，并被祂甜美的灵所影响吗？{AY68.1}[3]
母亲写给孩子的信-第15章
I am not writing to reprove you, children. You have been very kind, obedient children to us—sometimes wayward, but not stubborn. I hope you do not look at others who act wrong, and flatter yourselves that you are righteous, because you do better than they, but think seriously upon the good instruction you have had, and then inquire if you should not be far in advance of what you are. In short, have you not had sufficient light to yield your hearts to God, and love to follow Jesus, and be influenced by his sweet Spirit?{AY 68.1}[3]
