Studies in the Book of Hebrews, by Ellet J. Waggoner:
These studies by E.J. Waggoner, given at the 1897 General conference, have been taken from the 1897 General Conference bulletin. The daily Bible studies that Elder Waggoner gave each day, are just as alive & full of hope for each Bible student today as when they were first presented.
The Consecrated Way to Christian Perfection, by Alonzo T. Jones:
"In the manifestation of Christ the Saviour it is revealed that He must appear in the three offices of prophet, priest, and king.
"Of Him as prophet it was written in the days of Moses: "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him." Deut. 18:18,19. And this thought was continued in the succeeding scriptures until His coming.
"Of Him as priest it was written in the days of David: "Yet have I set ['anointed,' margin] My King upon My holy hill of Zion." Ps. 2:6. And this thought, likewise, was continued in all the scriptures afterward unto His coming, after His coming, and unto the end of the Book.
"Thus the Scriptures abundantly present Him in the three offices of prophet, priest, and king."
The Divine Human Family, by William W. Prescott:
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).
The Word Became Flesh, by William W. Prescott:
What is Patriotism, by Alonzo T. Jones:
Religious Liberty. What is it?
Is it the union of church and state, or is it the separation of church and state? This argument has been going on since the founding of this nation. Over a hundred years ago it was a hot item, and today we again find ourselves trying to understand religious liberty. This material will shed light on religious liberty, and give you a wonderful understanding of this vital issue. Your heart will thrill as you learn the true meaning of religious liberty, and why this nation, the United States of America, is so great. You will hear as never before the connection between religious liberty and patriotism.
