Your question relates to the finishing of the work by our young people. I do not know of any such statement in the Ellen G. White writings, published or unpublished, nor do I know of any support for the fourth question, that is, that SDA ministers will be imprisoned and persecuted first, and our laity will have to stand alone. There are statements in the Ellen G. White writings concerning the part our laymen will act in assisting in the finishing of the work, but I do not understand it to be a work which they will do alone. It is an auxiliary work, and all unite in heralding the message. (Arthur L. White)
