Here are key points from Ellen White's writings on overcoming temptation, with direct references and annotation text for confirmation: 1. Jesus is your helper. In His strength, you can overcome temptation. Even if you have failed before, it need not always be so. Summon will-power and rely on Christ (CTBH 147.2). 2. Many feel powerless against temptation, but you can and must resist. Even repeated failure does not mean you are hopeless. God will help you if you do not despair and trust in Him (MH 174.6). 3. Temptations, especially those appealing to appetite, can only be overcome with God's help. With every temptation, God promises a way of escape. Many are overcome because they do not trust God or use the means He provides (CTBH 22.2). 4. When tempted, steadfastly resist evil. Pray for help, and believe that strength comes through Jesus. Every obstacle increases your need for Christ (SL 90). 5. No one can be forced to sin; it requires your consent. Temptation is never an excuse for sin. Cry out to God, and He will help you in every time of temptation (5T 177.2). 6. We must resist temptation firmly or be conquered. If we overcome, we grow stronger; if we yield, we grow weaker (8T 313.2; 2SG 290.1). 7. Pray and resist temptation as much as you can, and trust Jesus to do what you cannot. Be careful in your words and actions to avoid inviting temptation (3T 378.1). 8. The Bible says, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4:7, 8; SJ 48.5). 9. Prayer is necessary because we are daily exposed to temptation. One failure to overcome leaves the soul unguarded, and evil habits can become chains of steel (MH 509.4). 10. Temptations appealing to physical nature are especially powerful. Through intemperance, Satan seeks to destroy our ability to appreciate eternal things (DA 122.1). 11. It is Satan’s act to tempt, but your act to yield. No one can force you to sin; there is no excuse for sin (4T 623.2). 12. Know your weaknesses and avoid unnecessary exposure to temptation. If duty calls you into difficult situations, God will give special help (GW92 371). 13. If you are helping others, do not give up on them even if they fall repeatedly. Persevere in your efforts (MH 173.2). 14. Temptation should not be removed entirely; we all must learn to resist as part of our spiritual warfare (CTBH 153.4).

According to available White Estate materials, the term "machine installation" is not directly defined in Ellen White's writings. However, her books do reference machinery and its use, especially in publishing houses and industrial training. Machinery is described as equipment used for work, and the process of setting up or assembling machinery is sometimes mentioned, such as when a machine is "put together in running order" (1T 665.1). Ellen White emphasizes the importance of skillful management and maintenance of machinery, noting that even a small part left out of order can have disastrous results (7T 192.1). She also highlights the need for proper training so that workers can operate and maintain machinery effectively (7T 147.3; 6T 182.2). In summary, "machine installation" in the context of Ellen White's writings would refer to the process of assembling, setting up, and preparing machinery for use, ensuring it is in proper working order and managed by trained individuals. This is important for the efficient and safe operation of institutions and for practical training in industrial lines. References: - Ellen G.
