Originally printed in 1926, this edition has been re-typed for improved readability, and an index has been added. In 1888 The Seventh-day Adventist church realized its message had drifted away from Jesus Christ and had become excessively focused upon the requirements of God's unchanging law. This book describes the historical event, and includes a comprehensive outline of the Scriptures that supported the need for change. Also included are counsels from Ellen White written before and after the decisions were made to place the life of the Savior, the cross and salvation at the center of all religious dialogue.
