PREFACE
The editors of a major North American Seventh-day Adventist publishing House asked the author to write the manuscript for this book. Their plan was to publish it in time for the Centennial camp-meeting season.
In due course their reading committee and the editors studied the manuscript and enthusiastically accepted it, proceeding to process it for publication. Due to circumstances entirely beyond their control, they were forced to drop its publication.
The 1888 Message Study Committee present this book to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and to the world. They are composed of ordained ministers and loyal laymembers who believe that “the most precious message” which the Lord sent to the Seventh-day Adventist Church a century ago needs to be widely proclaimed today.
They also look forward to the time when this church shall be united in a joyful acceptance of the message which Ellen White endorsed so highly. It will yet lighten the earth with the glory of a much more abounding grace that is no longer frustrated or put on trial within the remnant church itself. A phenomenal world-wide interest in that message indicates that the Holy Spirit is renewing the opportunities that were ours a century ago.
