Introduction
The
author
of
this
paper
does
not
profess
to
herve
contributed
anything
new
to
the
story
of
how,
through
the
Spirlt
of
prophecy,
the
SDA
church
was
miraculously
saved
from
the
great
pantheistic
crisls,
However,
he
does
feel
that
he
has
contribu
~
‘¢
the
story
itself
by
bringing
in
many
important
details.
These
detni
nave
besn
omitied
from
the
literature
that
1s
available
on
this
subject
of
pantheism
in
the
Seventh-day
Adventist
Church.
The
author's
goal
was
not
only
to
£111
in
these
particulars
but
also
to
arranga
them
systematically.
Such
an
arrangement
result~l
in
what
he
considers
tc
be
a
clear
history
of
the
pantheistic
crisis
from
the
year
1892
to
1905.
The
author,
at
this
time,
will
cite
an
example
that
clearly
demonstrates
how
much
meaning
is
lost
when
details
are
omitted.

An
Iceburg!
"Meet
It."
This
related
dream
of
Ellen
CG,
White
is
inter-
esting.
But
when
was
it
written?
To
vnom
was
1t
written?
Why
was
it
written
when
it
was?
The
dream
of
Xllen
G,
Whitc
loses
much
of
its
force
when
the
information,
which
could
provide
the
answers,
1s
left
out.
Knowing
the
content
of
the
dream
is
one
thing
but
to
know
1ts
setting
and
where
it
fits
in
the
scheme
of
history
18
quite
another.
Three
trends
in
this
historical
presentation
will
stand
out
‘clearly
in
the
reader's
mind.
First,
it
will
be
noted
that
God,
in
His
mercy,
worked
with
doctor
Kellogg
for
many
years
in
spite
of
the
doctor's
persistent
hold
on
the
false
theory
of
panthelsm,
Second,
the
attempt
by
Satan
to
undermine
the
great
sanctuary
truth
of
1844,
And
