[The following does not appear in all copies of the video. See the note preceding #117-#118.]

#119: "Ellen White was also concerned about children, and the ever-present danger of secret vice. James White included this quote as a warning to parents. 'After having indulged in this habit for a time, the child loses its bright and happy looks; it becomes pale with a greenish tint...' A Solemn Appeal p. 91."—Narrator. [p. 84]

#119: Mrs. White said kids will get green skin. No, she did not. The book being shown at this point in the video is Mrs. White's Appeal to Mothers, and the narrator just said "Ellen White," leading the viewer to think that this statement was written by her. But the truth is simply that this quote is of E. P. Miller, M.D., physician of the Hygienic Institute in New York City, not Mrs. White. Dr. Miller was not a Seventh-day Adventist.

The documentation package gives but a photocopy of this quotation under #60. If Mrs. White had really written this, it would be on the CD-ROM of her published and released writings. The documentation package gets many of its quotes from computer printouts from this CD. But for the statements from Solemn Appeal, it has to resort to photocopies of the original book, since Mrs. White didn't write these particular statements.

Those born-again Christians who have concerns about the morality of their children might want to read what Mrs. White really did say on the subject. They just might find something helpful.
