Sherman Cox II points us to a transcript of a devotional talk by James R. Nix, the director of the Ellen G. White Estate. Nix spoke about a survey by the North American Division a couple years ago. One of the survey questions asked if the respondents regularly read Ellen White’s writings. 2,848 were classified as readers and 5,375 were non-readers. After crunching the data from the other survey questions, these findings were published in Ministry magazine in October 1982.
