Here is the passage you requested from the writings of Ellen G. White:
> "In concluding this narrative, I would say that we are living in a most solemn time. In the last vision given me, I was shown the startling fact that but a small portion of those who now profess the truth will be sanctified by it and be saved. Many will get above the simplicity of the work. They will conform to the world, cherish idols, and become spiritually dead. The humble, self-sacrificing followers of Jesus will pass on to perfection, leaving behind the indifferent and lovers of the world." — *Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1*,

### Context
This quote appears at the very end of the chapter titled "Experience and Labors," which concludes the biographical narrative portion of the first volume of the *Testimonies*. Written around 1867, it serves as a solemn appeal to the church members of that time (and today), warning against the spiritual lethargy and worldliness that prevent believers from being truly transformed by the truth they profess.
