1934年，W.C.怀特长老和D.E.罗宾逊在榆园办公室从怀爱伦已发表和未发表的源材料中汇编了有关教会，其组织、权威、团结和工人间彼此关系的内容。{MR311 3.1}
怀爱伦著作托管委员会很欣赏地阅读了这篇50页的文件，然而由于现在不太清楚的原因，这份文件当时没有进行发表。它被放在文档文件里，一直被妥善地保存在那里38年，只是偶尔被提及。{MR311 3.2}
在查看有关教会及其权威的勉言时，最后几天评阅了这份文稿。留下的印象越来越强，它的发表会很好地服务教会。在已发表的资料中已清楚宣布了基本前提。尽管如此，正如怀爱伦在证道、文稿和信函中再三重申了关于教会及其传道事工的基本真理，不同的陈述似乎丰富了关于这个问题可以阅读的内容。{MR311 3.3}
为了研究的目的，在少数副本中对行编了号。使用任何未发表的资料目前都必须仅限于委员会的研究。无疑，他们会考虑及时发表用于一般用途。然而，现状会导致要求委员会所用副本交还怀著托管委员会，直到材料得到妥善处理。{MR311 3.4}

In 1934 Elder W. C. White and D. E. Robinson at the Elmshaven office drew together from published and unpublished E. G. White sources materials relating to the church, its organization, authority, unity, and the relationship of workers one to another.{MR311 3.1}[1]
The 50 page document which resulted was read by the White Trustees with appreciation, but for reasons not too clear just now, the document at that time was not carried through to publication. It was placed in the document file and has been kept there safely for 38 years, with only occasional reference to it.{MR311 3.2}[2]
With the occasion to look at the counsels relating to the church and its authority, this document, during the last few days, has been reviewed. The impression is growing that its publication might well serve the church. The basic premises are clearly enunciated in published sources. Nonetheless, as Ellen White again and again reiterated in sermons, manuscripts and letters basic truths concerning the church and its ministry, the varying statements seem to enrich that which may be read on the subject.{MR311 3.3}[3]
For study purposes, in a few copies the lines have been numbered. Any use of unpublished items must for the present be restricted to committee study. Undoubtedly, on consideration they will in time be released for general use. The situation, however, would lead to the request that copies used by the committee be returned to the White Estate until the matters have been properly processed.{MR311 3.4}[4]
