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. Arthur G. Daniells (1858-1935) was the son of a physician who became a Seventh-day Adventist at the age of ten. Because of poor health he dropped out of college after one year, and was called into the ministry as a full-time pastor a few years later. He developed into an excellent administrator and was the President of the SDA church world organization from 1901-1922.
