S42. Time: 7/13/110:00-10:45 (a.m.) (program and p. 653)]. Pp. 653(17-21)671(18). (A notation on p. 653 says: "This period was taken by
M. C. Wilcox, who read first various extracts from the writings of
Sister White, many of them unpublished, and followed with a paper on
X43
the Beast Power of Revelation 12-21." A further notation says:
"Insert papers here." The paper titled "The Beast Power of the
Revelation" follows as pp. 654-665. The transcript continues from
p. 666 to p. 671.)
A blank cardboard stiffener. P. 672.

last sentence on p. 705 seems to indicate that the balance of the

of the transcript does not appear in the duplicate
copy.)

[JULY 14 [program and p. 706]
614 ("The Mediation of Christ" (program and p. 710ff); however the tranS1394
cript says:] "The Person of Christ" (p. 706) by W. W. Prescott
[continued]. Time: 3[1.e. 7]1/4/9:00 (p. 706)-[9:45 a.m. (length and

7/141[10:00-10:45 (a.m.) (program)]. Pp. 725(21)-726(22). (A

his paper.")
["The Beast Power of Revelation" presented by H. C.] Lacey. Time:
7/141[10:45-11:35 (a.m.) (length and p. 745)]. Pp. 727(23)-745(43).
(Note: The program (p. 34] lists "Eastern Question B. G. Wilkinson &
C. M. Sorenson" for "10:45-11:30;" however, Lacey occupied the time,
doubtless by previous arrangement.)
[Discussion on "The Mediation of Christ" by W. W.] Prescott [continued].
Time: 7/141[3:00-3:45 p.m. (length)]. Pp. 746(44)-760(57).
[Discussion on "The Beast Power of Revelation" by] M. C. Wilcox [continued]. Time: 71141(4:00-4:30? p.m. (length)]. Pp. 760(57)-769(67).
[Discussion on "The Mediation of Christ" by] W. W. Prescott [continued].
Time: 7/14/[4:30?-4:50? (length)]. Pp. 770(68)-776(74). (During
this discussion a verbal scuffle broke out between R. D. Quinn and
W. W. Prescott, and the latter offered to "withdraw from any further
xii
teaching on the subject" [p. 770] and "drop the whole thing" [p. 773].
However, F. M. Wilcox moved "that it is the consensus of this body
that Professor Prescott go on with these studies." This motion was
greeted with "General acclamation from the floor" [p. 774]. Nevertheless, Prescott does not seem to have continued at this time. He did
the next day.)
["The Beast Power of Revelation" by H. C.] Lacey [continued]. Time:
7/14/[4:50?-5:45? p.m. (length)]. Pp. 776(74)-794(92).
[JULY 15 (program)]
"The Mediation of CHrist" [by] W. W. Prescott [continued]. Time: 7/15/
[9:00-9:45 (a.m.) (program)]. Pp. 795(1)-810(11).
"The Eastern Question" [presented by] C. S. Longacre. Time: 7/15/
[10:00-10:45 a.m. (length and inference)]. Pp. 810(11)-835(25).
799
(Pages 811-835 are Longacre's paper, entitled: "Statement on Daniel
11." Apparently his presentation consisted of extracts from his
paper. According to the program, "The Beast Power in Revelation"
by M. C. Wilcox was originally scheduled for this time.)
8a
"The Beast Power of Revelation" by H. C.] Lacey [continued]. Time:
7/15[10:45-11:30? a.m. (Length and program)]. Pp. 836(11a)-846(1920). (The "U. S. in Prophecy" by W. H. Wakeham was originally
scheduled for this time.)
[JULY 16 (program)]
805
["The Mediation of Christ" by W. W.] Prescott [continued]. Time:
7/16/(9:00-10:45 (a.m.) (program and length)]. Pp. 847(1)-880(22L).
(The "Seven Trumpets [by] J. N. Anderson & C. L. Benson" was
originally scheduled for this time.)
("The Eastern Question" by C. M.] Sorenson [continued?]. Time: 7/16/
[10:45 (p. 881)-11:30 (program)]. Pp. 881(23)-904(40f). (Though
this transcript occupies 23 pages much of it appears to have been
historical quotations that were entered into the transcript later.)
[Discussion concerning the] "Disposition of the Manuscri't." A. G.
Daniells [chairman]. Time: 7/16/111:30?-12:00? (noon) (conjecture,
p. 905 and length)]. Pp. 905(40-g)-913(40-o). (From the discussion
it appears that the primary reason for not publishing the papers and
transcripts of the conference was the dissention generated by the
discussions on "the Eastern Question" (p. 906), or "the king of the
Borth" (p. 910). Apparently A. G. Danielle suggestion "to lock
this manuscript up in a vault" [p. 912], was the one adopted though
no formal action was taken to this effect at this time. W. T. Knox,
chairman of the Bible Conference committee concurred in Daniells'
opinion when he said: "1 believe it would be better not to print
It at all" [p. 913]. A notation at the end of p. 913 reads: "Adjournment.")
902
['Discussion concerning the topic for the first period of the afternoon
and discussions on "The Eastern Question," (The Daily," and "The
Beast Power of Revelation"]. Time: 7/161[3:00-3:55? p.m. (length
and pp. 914, 937)]. Pp. 914(41)-937(62).
(Apparently the scheduled
topic for this period was on "The Mediation of Christ, but it was
replaced by discussions on the topics listed above.)
("The United States in Prophecy" presented by
W. H.] Wakeham. Time:
7/161[4:00-4:45 p.m. (p. 937)]. Pp. 938(63)-953(711i). (This topic
xiv
was proceded by discussion on "The Beast Power of Revelation" while
Wakeham fetched his paper. Pp. 940(66)-950(70f) apparently consist
of the transcription of Wakeham's paper [pp. 950, 951].)
342
"The Spirit of Prophecy" [presented] by A. C. Daniells. Time: 7/16/
[4:45-5:30? p.m. (p. 954)]. Pp. 954 (71)-961(84-87).
910
(A shorthand
notation on p. 957 apparently instructs the stenographers not to
transcribe the pages between p. 956 and 958. See p. 2142.)
[JULY 17 (program, p. 062)]
352 "The
Daily--Matthew 24" [presented by] W. W. Prescott. Time: 7/17/
9:00-[9:45 a.m. (program)]. ' Pp. 962(1)-973(12-19)

[10:00-10:45 a.m. (p. 974 and length)]. Pp. 974(20)-988(32b).
(A notation on p. 974 indicates that "during . . . [the intermission
--9:45-10:00 a.m.] the pictures of the delegates were taken."
The program lists C. L. Benson as co-lectuier with 3. N. Anderson
on this topic. However, Benson- apparently took no part in the oral
presentation.)
. ['Discussion concerning Bible Readings and "The United States in
Prophecy"]. Time: 7/17/(10:45-11:30 a.m. (program and length?)).
Pp. 989(33)-997(44-45). (The program says "Open" for this period.
It was proposed that W. W. Prescott complete his presentation of
` 1 "The Daily Matthew24" [pp. 962, 989], but Prescott declined,
saying that "one presentation a day and all the discussion on it,
is all I can stand." It is not absolutely certain that discussion
for this period ends on p. 997. However, the length of the discussion and the abrupt change of subject tends to confirm this
conclusion.)
[Discussion on "The Seven Trumpets"] Time: 7/17/[3:00-3:45 p.m.
(length)]. Pp. 997[44-45]-1006(54). (The "intermission" [p. 1006]
that followed this discussion was apparently from 3:45-4:20 p.m.)
(Discussion concerning whether to let E. C. Lacey present his "view of
the cause of the darkness of May 19, 1780" It was voted to defer
Professor Lacey's talk to a later period, "some time during the
Teachers' Conference."]. Time: 7/17/[4:20?-4:45 p.n. (pp. 1006,
1007, 1009?)]. Pp. 1007(55)-1011(58A).

"[The Daily--] Matthew 24" [by] W. W. Prescott [continued, followed by
discussion]. Time: 7/18/[9:00-11:15? a.m. (length and pp. 1020,
1020(1)-1067(55-56). (The program schedule assigns the first study
period [9:00-9:45] to "Matthew 24" by W. W. Prescott; the second
period [10:00-10:45] to the "Seven Trumpets" by J. W. Anderson &
C. L. Benson; and the third period [10:45-11:30] to "Open." It
appears that the presentation and discussion of the Daily in Matthew
24 took up the entire time until about 45 minutes before "noon"
[p.
1067]).
"The (Seven) Trumpets" [presented by] B. C. Wilkinson. Time: 7/18/
(11:15?-12:00 (conjecture, p. /067)]. P. 1067. (A notation on
p. 1067 states that "Prof. B. G. Wilkinson was next called upon
1.0'/ he question of the trumpets." This is followed by the parenthetical
remark: "Wilkinson's paper," which in turn is followed by the
parenthetical remark: "Later: It [Wilkinson's paper] is not in
shape to be copied yet." There is no transcript for this talk.

notation on p. 1090 says: "The closing remarks of Elder Daniells
