Yes, Ellen White did refer to new methods and new strategies for reaching others. Here are some key points from her writings: - She cautioned against clinging to old customs and methods, especially in educational and missionary work, stating, "There is among us too much clinging to old customs, and because of this we are far behind where we should be in the development of the third angel's message... methods have been followed in some of our schools which have retarded rather than advanced the work of God" (CT 533). - She encouraged discernment and adaptability: "The mind must be active to discern the best ways and means of reaching the people next us... The methods and means by which we reach certain ends are not always the same. The missionary must use reason and judgment. Experience will indicate the wisest course to follow under existing circumstances" (GW92 356.1; GW 468.3). - She advocated for personal, social, and innovative approaches: "By being social and coming close to the people, you may turn the current of their thoughts more readily than by the most able discourse. The presentation of Christ in the family, by the fireside, and in small gatherings in private houses, is often more successful in winning souls to Jesus than are sermons delivered in the open air, to the moving throng, or even in halls or churches" (GW 193.2; GW92 340.3). - She recommended using literature and other means: "At some of our camp-meetings, strong companies of workers have been organized to go out into the city and its suburbs to distribute literature and invite people to the meetings. By this means hundreds of persons were secured as regular attendants..." (GW 401.5). - She urged perseverance and creativity: "Cease not your efforts; but study and plan until you find some other means of reaching them. If you do not succeed by personal visits, try sending them the silent messenger of truth. There is so much pride of opinion in the human heart that our publications often gain admittance where the living messenger cannot" (HS 150.3). - She emphasized the importance of personal influence and social contact: "One of the most effective ways in which light can be communicated is by private, personal effort. In the home circle, at your neighbor's fireside, at the bedside of the sick, in a quiet way you may read the Scriptures and speak a word for Jesus and the truth" (6T 428.3). In summary, Ellen White encouraged the use of new methods and strategies, including personal, social, and innovative approaches, to effectively reach others with the gospel message. She stressed adaptability, perseverance, and the importance of both personal contact and literature. References: - White, E. G. (1913).
