    No Attempt to Blur Narrow Views

    This reference to the reasoning of the pioneers is not given in any attempt to blur other and earlier statements by them that seem to teach that probation did end for all, except Adventists, on October 22, 1844. We refer to the implications in their logic simply to show that they had no sooner come out of the first moments of foggy bewilderment following the great disappointment than they began to formulate theological views that had implicit in them a hope of salvation for all who had not stubbornly set themselves against “light and truth.” Their pattern of thinking in regard to this matter of salvation becomes increasingly clear as we continue to quote from them.EGWC 609.2

    In September, 1851, we find the editor of the Review and Herald stating:EGWC 609.3

    “We do not say that the ‘everlasting gospel’ has ceased to have effect upon all, for some are now embracing the doctrine of the speedy coming of the Lord, who have not been identified with the Advent people in the past movements.”—September 2, p. 20.EGWC 609.4

    In February, 1852, a J. Philbrick writes a short letter to James White in which is found this sentence: “I feel solemn in view of that time when there will no longer be a mediator between God and man.”—The Review and Herald, February 3, 1852, p. 87. Note that this writer is looking into the future for the end of Christ’s intercessory work for man.EGWC 609.5
