Some 90 plus messages and special reports from a preseason Ministerial Institute and the Session proper—over 450,000 words. THE THIRTIETH session of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference was held at Battle Creek, Michigan over a four and one-half week period from January 27 through March 6, 1893. A Ministerial Institute occupied the first three weeks, with the session proper beginning on Friday, February 17. During these two events, some 90 plus messages were published. They are all reproduced in this present publication, along with a selected number of reports—over 450,000 words. This General Conference Session, with its special Ministerial Institute, was removed only five years from the controversial 1888 Session in Minneapolis. That earlier session was noteworthy for the strong emphasis on righteousness by faith. The servant of the Lord made it clear that God wanted to, and had started to, pour out the Latter Rain upon His people. In 1896, three years after this present GC Session, Ellen White wrote that the light of the loud cry that was to have lightened the whole earth was resisted and rejected by us in 1888. See Selected Messages, book 1, 234–235. These troubling events still weighed heavily on the minds of many of the presenters at this present session. Several of them made reference to their concerns. In one of the presentations by W. W. Prescott of a ten part series on “The Promise of the Holy Spirit,” he stated in an encouraging manner, the following: “Now when I think that for four years we have been in the time of the latter rain, and that God has wanted to pour out his Spirit that these gifts might be restored, that his work might go with power; and that he wishes us to join gladly in the work and cooperate with him with the whole heart, it occurs to me that we have been the hands that have been holding on and the feet that wouldn’t go; and rather than tear the whole body to pieces the body has waited. “So we are told that we are years behind; and if some of the hands had not held on, and some of the feet had not refused to go, so that the body could not move without tearing it to pieces, the body would have gone right along these four years. But . . . the Lord in great mercy has let the body wait, so that we should not be torn out and be left by the wayside. But the body is going on now; and I say, Let every hand, and every foot, and every member be ready to go, that the body be not torn asunder. That is what the Lord wants to do, and he is going to do it now: and he has warned us and told us of it for four years.” The major presenters for the Session and preceding Institute were as follows: 1. J. H. Durland, two presentations on “Fellowship with Christ,” and a Sabbath Sermon. 2. S. N. Haskell, five lessons on “The Study of the Bible,” and six on “Missions and Missionary Work.” 3. A T. Jones, twenty-four presentations on “The Third Angel’s Message.” 4. J. N. Loughborough, five lessons on “The Study of the Testimonies.” 5. O. A Olsen, three presentations on “The Ministry.” 6. W. W. Prescott, twelve presentations on “The Promise of the Holy Spirit.” 7. R. C. Porter, six presentations on “The Mind of Christ.” 8. R. A Underwood, six lessons on “The Recognition of Christ’s Ownership and Our Redemption.” 9. Dr. J. H. Kellogg, eight presentations on the Medical Missionary Work. Included from the General Conference Bulletins in this present volume are two special communications from Ellen White in Australia, and a letter from E. J. Waggoner from his post in London, England. There are also a number of other special reports included here. We will be blessed, and encouraged as we study the messages of these faithful leaders of bygone days. These leaders are of our past, but their messages are even more relevant today as we search our lives and hearts for anything and everything that lies between us and that long looked-for latter rain and the finishing of God’s work in our hearts and the world at large.

Em 1895, W. W. Prescott participou da reuniao campal de Armadale, na Australia, com tres semanas de duracao. A campal ocorreu no periodo de 17 de outubro a 11 de novembro. Prescott ficou responsavel pela maior parte dos sermoes, discursando 31 vezes. Os resultados foram extremamente positivos. Tanto Ellen White quanto Maggie Hare, sua secretaria, estavam presentes assistindo e Maggie tomou notas estenograficas dos sermoes de Prescott para que fossem publicados pela Australian Tract Society, em forma de folhetos, sendo alguns deles publicados no periodico adventista The Bible Echo. Referindo-se a estes sermoes, maravilhada com o impacto que haviam produzido e com o poder com que Prescott pregou, Ellen White escreveu: " ...] suas palavras de Prescott] sao pronunciadas com a manifestacao do Espirito e com poder, e sua face brilha com a luz do Ceu" (Manuscrito 19, 1895). "O irmao Prescott tem transmitido as ardentes palavras da verdade, tais como as que ouvi de alguns em 1844. A inspiracao do Espirito de Deus tem estado sobre ele. Os descrentes afirmam: 'Estas sao as palavras de Deus. Nunca antes ouvi tais coisas'" (Carta 25, 1895, escrita a S. N. Haskell)."

W. W. Prescott (1855-1944) was an early Seventh-day Adventist educator and administrator. He was the General Conference Education Director at the time he presented these talks at the 1895 General Conference Session, February 1-13, in Battle Creek, Michigan. In developing his Bible theme, Prescott noted, "Adam is the man through whom death came; Christ is the man through whom comes the resurrection from the dead. Read also Romans 5:12 and onward." This Romans 5 focus was echoed less than three months later when Ellen White, in writing of A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner, stated, "God gave to His servants a testimony that presented the truth as it is in Jesus, which is the third angel's message in clear, distinct lines…. This is the testimony that must go throughout the length and breadth of the world. It presents the law and the gospel, binding up the two in a perfect whole. (See Romans 5, and 1 John 3:9 to the close of the chapter.)" (EGW 1888 Materials, pp. 1338.1; 1339.1; May 1, 1895) Four months later Ellen White listed Prescott among those who "since the Minneapolis meeting" in 1888 were extending "the invitation, 'Come, for all things are now ready. Come to the supper prepared for you.' Light, heaven's light, has been shining ... upon justification by faith and the imputed righteousness of Christ." (EGW 1888 Materials, pp. 1455.2; September 25, 1895) This unifying, family theme is a fruitful field of Bible exploration and practical application. "God looked upon humanity, not as vile and worthless; He looked upon it in Christ, saw it as it might become through redeeming love. He collected all the riches of the universe, and laid them down in order to buy the pearl." (COL 118.2; 1900) "By means of one agency, Christ Jesus, God has mysteriously linked all men together." (Special Testimonies Series B, No. 9, p. 25.3; 1903)

W. W. Prescott was a prominent Seventh-day Adventist educator and administrator who was the son of a pioneer in the movement. Prescott was greatly impacted by the message of righteousness by faith presented in the Minneapolis time period. He embraced the message and began to preach it, sharing the passion of lifting up Jesus that so inspired A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner. In 1895, in the Armadale camp meeting in Australia, he gave a series of Christ-centered sermons that had profound evangelistic impact produced by the Holy Spirit’s power. Commenting on these sermons, Ellen White wrote:“In the evening Prof. Prescott gave a most powerful discourse, instruction precious as gold.… God has given brother Prescott a special message for the people. The truth comes forth from human lips in the demonstration of the Spirit and power.… “We are doing our best to lead the people to look upon the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.… I attended the meeting and heard Prof. Prescott preach. I know that since coming to this place he has had the outpouring of the Holy Spirit…. [U]nbelievers turn pale and say, ‘that man is inspired.’” (Ellen G. White, Letter 82, 1905).“Professor Prescott's sermons will never seem the same, I fear, as when given by the living preacher: for the words are spoken in the demonstration of the Spirit, and with power, his face all aglow with the sunshine of heaven.” (Ellen G. White, Manuscript 19, 1895).In these sermons you will see Christ exalted as you may never have seen before. Your soul will be drawn to Christ as He is presented in such a simple manner, yet full of deepest significance.

In The Spirit's Power

W. W. Prescott fue un destacado educador y administrador adventista del séptimo día, hijo de un pionero en el movimiento. Prescott quedó grandemente impactado por el mensaje de la justificación por la fe presentado en la época de Minneapolis. Abrazó el mensaje y comenzó a predicarlo, compartiendo la pasión de exaltar a Jesús que tanto inspiró a A. T. Jones y E. J. Waggoner. En 1895, en la reunión campestre de Armadale, en Australia, dio una serie de sermones centrados en Cristo que tuvieron un profundo impacto evangelizador producido por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Comentando estos sermones, Elena de White escribió: “Por la noche el Prof. Prescott dio un discurso muy poderoso, instrucción preciosa como el oro… Dios ha dado al hermano Prescott un mensaje especial para la gente. La verdad sale de labios humanos con demostración del Espíritu y poder…. Estamos haciendo lo mejor posible para conducir a la gente a mirar al Cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo… Asistí a la reunión y oí predicar al Prof. Prescott. Sé que desde que llegó a este lugar él ha tenido un derrame del Espíritu Santo…. Los incrédulos palidecen y dicen, ‘ese hombre es inspirado’”. Elena G. de White, Carta 82, 1895 “Los sermones del profesor Prescott nunca parecerán los mismos, me temo, como cuando los da el predicador vivo: porque las palabras se pronunciaron con demostración del Espíritu, con poder, su rostro brillaba con luz celestial”. Elena G. de White, Manuscrito 19, 1895
