A Resource for Seventh-day Adventist Pioneer Writings

Welcome!

We are republishing
Seventh-day Adventist pioneer material
in response to the following counsel:

“Repeat the words of the pioneers in our work,
who knew what it cost to search for the truth as for hidden treasure,
and who labored to lay the foundation of our work.” (RH 5/25/05)

We invite you to browse our resources.

“Again and again I have been shown that the past experiences of God’s people are not to be counted as dead facts. We are not to treat the record of these experiences as we would treat a last year’s almanac. The record is to be kept in mind, for history will repeat itself.” Ellen White, Letter 238, 1903 (PM175)
