17一九四三年五月我……患了严重的肺病。……生命树的信息……是我在病中二年半所看见的。……无论难处是在哪一面,都是由于缺少生命。为着这点,我非常懊悔,在主面前有许多的认罪,和彻底的悔改,并在祂面前有对付。……“生命树”的信息在南京救了许多人,也释放了许多人;这些人……多年瘪气下沉,什么都不能作,这样的信息,叫他们的灵得着了释放,心也得着开启。……感谢主,借着生命树的信息,也使上海召会得着了医治。……乃是这个生命树的信息,立定了一个基础,使上海召会得着复兴(历史与启示,一六○、一六四至一六五、一六七、一七○至一七一页)。
17In May of 1943…I had contracted a serious case of tuberculosis…I saw the tree of life during the two and a half years of my illness…Every kind of problem…is the result of a shortage of life. When I saw this, I was extremely remorseful, I confessed much and had a thorough repentance before the Lord, and I also had many dealings before Him…The messages on the tree of life saved many saints and also released many of the brothers and sisters in Nanking… The saints had been disheartened and depressed for years and were unable to do anything. These messages released their spirit and enlightened their heart… I thank the Lord that through the messages on the tree of life, the church in Shanghai was healed…The messages on the tree of life laid a foundation for the revival of the church in Shanghai.
