By the time of her death, a large amount of material had been gathered and typed, but not completed. That material is presented here, divided chronologically into four sections: 1891-1892, 1893, 1894, 1895-1899. The pagination in the text given within parentheses, such as (285), is the pagination found in the White Estate’s copy; however, it is often irregular, with some pages missing, due to the incomplete nature of the working manuscript. Text between < > symbols represents handwritten notations by Ellen White on the typescript. The Ellen G. White Estate, Inc. July 2015 iii [2] Experiences in Australia, November 12, 1891 - December 29, 1892 [3] On the Way to Australia On Nov. 12, about two P.M., we went on board the steamship “Alameda” at San Francisco, Cal., for our long voyage across the Pacific Ocean. About twenty-five of our friends came tomeetus at the boat, and say Goodbye. Soon the last parting words were spoken, and at four o’clock our good ship left the dock, and steamed out of Golden Gate against a strong head wind. The restless sea rocked and tossed us about, quite to the distress of the passengers, most of whom soon retired to their state rooms. For a time we felt inclined to lie quietly in our berths. After the first day, however, we had very pleasant, smooth sailing. The captain said he could hardly remember having so pleasant a voyage. Our vessel, though comparatively small, and not so elegant as many of the Atlantic boats, was thoroughly comfortable, convenient, and safe. The officers were kind and gentlemanly. (2) We had about eighty cabin passengers, and forty in the steerage. Among the former were about eight ministers, several of whom were returning from the great Methodist Conference in Washington. Religious services were held in the social hall, twice each Sunday, and occasionally on deck for the steerage passengers. One week from the time we left California, we reached the Sandwich Islands. The scene presented to us from the steamer as we approached Honolulu, was very beautiful; the mountains rising at a little distance from the water’s edge, and clothed with the rich green of the tropics, and the city in its setting of palms and other tropical trees, appeared especially attractive to us after gazing for seven days on the boundless expanse of waters. We were met at the wharf by friends living in the city. Men, women and children greeted us so heartily that we could not but feel at home among them. We were glad to welcome these dear friends, 4 and especially glad to meet again Elder Starr and his wife, who had been laboring among the people, and speaking in the churches by invitation, with good effect. (3) After a short visit in the family of one of our brethren, we were taken to ride about the city and a few miles beyond the suburbs. The business part of the town is very indifferent but the residences are fine, with broad verandahs, and surrounded by green lawns, which are beautified by all kinds of tropical trees and flowers. Onourway we saw beautiful avenues of royal palms, vines, and trees, shrubs and hedges brilliant with flowers; cocoa-nut palms, laden with the brown, heavy looking fruit; bread fruit and mango trees; fields of pineapples, and patches of taro, the staple food of the natives, with many other strange plants and trees which I cannot even name. For six miles back of the town the road gradually ascends a mountain valley to the “pali, ” or precipice, an interesting point, both for its historical association, and from the fine landscape view which is obtained from it. Standing on the rocky edge of the precipice, we look down 1200 feet, while on either side the bare, rocky summits tower to a height of 3000 feet. Below us lies a rich, green plain, dotted with rice and sugar plantations, and hills around which the brown road winds in and out. Beyond all is the broad blue sea, the white surf breaking (4) along the shore. It was near the head of this valley, in about the eighteenth century [4] that the last native chief of the island made a stand with his forces against Kamehameha I., who was trying to bring all the islands under one government. The chief’s forces were defeated, and fleeing up the valley many of them were driven over the precipice, and dashed to pieces on the rocks at its base. It is said that the bones of these unfortunate warriors are still to be found scattered on the plain. We took our lunch on a pleasant, grassy spot overlooking the valley, and returned to the city, feeling that the day’s excursion would ever be remembered with pleasure. Then a few hours were spent at the home of a merchant in the city, whose wife has attended our meetings with much interest, and whose little daughter spent some months at our college at Healdsburgh, Cal. The wife was among the friends who had met us at the boat, and I had called on her for a few moments in the morning on our way to the “pali.” I then bowed in prayer with them, at her request, placing my hands on the heads of the little ones, and invoking God’s blessing on the mother and the (5) children. Our steamer was not to leave Honolulu till past midnight, and at the earnest desire of our friends, I consented to speak in the evening. The hall of the Young Men’s Christian Association was secured for the purpose. Only a few hours’ notice of the meeting could be given, yet a goodly number were assembled, among them many who were actively engaged in temperance and Christian work. I spoke from 1 John 3:1 — 3, dwelling upon the great love of God to man, expressed in the gift of Jesus that we might become children of God. The Spirit of the Lord was present with us. At the close of the meeting we were gratified to make the acquaintance of some of the leading menofthe Young Men’s Christian Association. Many spoke gratefully of the help that Elder Starr had rendered them. They expressed their regret that we could not remain longer, and gave us an earnest invitation to stay and labor a few months with them on our return to America. We too regretted that we must leave so soon. We were grateful for the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the brethren and sisters in Honolulu. [5] (6) At Samoa and Auckland On Friday, November 2, we reached the Samoan Islands, after a pleasant voyage of seven days from Honolulu. We had expected extremely hot weather in passing the tropics, but in this we were happily disappointed. Only a few days were uncomfortably warm. On Tuesday, Nov. 24, when we crossed the equator, the air was so cool that we found our wraps needful as we sat on deck. Our steamer cast anchor off Apia, which is situated on the island of Upolo, and is the principal town of the Samoan Group. The harbor or Bay of Apia is a beautiful expanse of water, shut in by coral reefs, over which the water is constantly breaking. The island is clothed in the richest and most luxurious verdure. The mountains rise almost from the water’s edge; the cocoa palms grow all along the shore and up the mountain sides, which are clothed in green to the very summits. The town of Apia consists of two rows of small white buildings on either side of a narrow street which winds along the shore. Through an opening in the reef that encloses the harbor vessels pass in and out; another reef lying nearer the shore, (7) prevents them from reaching the dock, but passengers are taken in shore in boats. Before us is a reminder of the terrible storms that sometimes visit this lovely spot.

  • Run That You May Win It: Contingency and Emotional Connectedness in the Soteriological Language of Paul
    Run That You May Win It: Contingency and Emotional Connectedness in the Soteriological Language of Paul Submitted by Michael Julian Holyland Godfrey M.A. (Hons), B.D. A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Theology Faculty of Theology and Philosophy Australian Catholic University May 29th 2009 STATEMENT OF SOURCES This thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded another degree or diploma. No other person‘s work has been used without due acknowledgement in the main text of this thesis. This thesis has not been submitted for the award of any degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. March 4, 2011 2 Preface The influence of the apostle Paul on the shape of Christianity in his own century was significant enough, but through the twentieth century he loomed so large that he was even proposed as the founder of Christianity. Paul, who was adamant that ‗it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives within me‘ (Gal. 2.20) would be horrified, but perhaps even a first century pastor and evangelist not exposed to post-modernity might acknowledge that, once a papyrus leaves his or her desk, an author has little control over the fate of their words, and authorial intentions can only be one part of a transaction between author and reader. Paul was only too human: even if the famous text ‗I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate‘ (Rom.
