The spirit of the dragon, "that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan," is seen in this transaction. Notwithstanding his cunning, he has in his rage forgotten to be wise. {ST, June 28, 1883 par. 15}

| Edson had informed his mother of these developments during her years in Australia, and her instruction was of caution and prudence as the only course available to the church if they wished to continue to witness and work in the South. This was as true for the work among the whites as among the blacks. Even though in his contacts Edson said nothing about political matters, even though he did not mention inequalities or the need for social justice, the mere fact that he was educating blacks and trying to improve their economic condition nearly cost him his life and the lives of his wife, fellow workers, and believers. [For the account of James edson White and the Morning Star, see ron graybill, Mission to Black America.] { 5BIO 63.1 }

Chapter 15—Social Justice
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward. Isaiah 58:6-8. { Call to Stand Apart, page 58.1 }

Chapter 15—Social Justice
A Young Adult’s Encounter with Ellen White ... on Social Justice
I never thought a lot about Ellen G. White. I knew she existed and was highly regarded within our church. I had read a few required readings here and there during my school years, but I never really paid much attention to any of it until I found the following passage: “Our Lord Jesus Christ came to this world as the unwearied servant of man’s necessity. ... He came to give [men] health and peace. ... None who came to Him went away unhelped. ... The Saviour’s work was not restricted to any time or place. His compassion knew no limit. ... Wherever there were hearts ready to receive His message, He comforted them with the assurance of their heavenly Father’s love. ... His life was one of constant self-sacrifice. ... Jesus devoted more time to healing the sick than to preaching.” { AC 90.1 }

God’s Regulations Prevent Social Injustice — The Lord would place a check upon the inordinate love of property and power. Great evils would result from the continued accumulation of wealth by one class, the poverty and degradation of another. Without some restraint, the power of the wealthy would become a monopoly, and the poor, though in every respect fully as worthy in God’s sight, would be regarded and treated as inferior to their more prosperous brethren. { 2MCP 625.3 }
