Called By God
She was a licensed min-ister from 1897 through 1914.
Helen Williams died on December 23, 1940, at the age of 72. The obituary in the
Review for this devoted worker contains the following information concerning her ministry:
While her children were still small, Mrs. Williams employed help to
care for the family, and resumed her profession in the regular Bible
work. She gained an extensive reputation as a public speaker, was
given charge of churches, and was granted a ministerial license by the
Michigan Conference. Williams,
—Helen May Stanton, obituary, Review and Herald,
January. 30, 1941: 24.
A daughter-in-law sums up by saying that Mrs. Williams lived “a full and active life as
a pioneer woman preacher and teacher.” (Taken from letters to the author by Katherine D.
Williams, St. Joseph, Michigan, July 22 and August 3, 1985. See appendix A, 1.4.) She
prepared many people for membership in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the
kingdom of heaven as she pastored and evangelized on two continents. How wise was
the mission president who urged young Helen Williams to hold evangelistic meetings in
Montana, and how perceptive the husband who encouraged her to make free use of her
ministerial gifts!
