"It would be helpful for the youth, and for parents and teachers as well, to study the lesson of co-operation as taught in the Scriptures. Among its many illustrations notice the building of the tabernacle,—that object lesson of character building,—in which the whole people united, “everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing.” Exodus 35:21 . Read how the wall of Jerusalem was rebuilt by the returned captives, in the midst of poverty, difficulty, and danger, the great task successfully accomplished because “the people had a mind to work.” Nehemiah 4:6 . Consider the part acted by the disciples in the Saviour's miracle for the feeding of the multitude. The food multiplied in the hands of Christ, but the disciples received the loaves and gave to the waiting throng. Ed 286.1"
"And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments."
Ellen White directly references Exodus 35:21 in this passage.
"So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work."
Ellen White directly references Nehemiah 4:6 in this passage.
"“We are members one of another.” As everyone therefore “hath received a (R.V.) gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” Ephesians 4:25 ; 1 Peter 4:10 . Ed 286.2"
"Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another."
Ellen White directly references Ephesians 4:25 in this passage.
"As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."
Ellen White directly references 1 Peter 4:10 in this passage.
"Well might the words written of the idol builders of old be, with worthier aim, adopted as a motto by character builders of today: Ed 286.3"
"They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed."
EGW explicitly states she is adopting the words written of idol builders, making this an explicit allusion, not just a thematic parallel. The confidence is increased due to the direct reference.
