Preface
A directory of the conferences, mission fields and institutions connected with
the Seventh-day Adventist denomination is given in the following pages. Adminis-
trative and workers' lists have been furnished by the organizations concerned.
In cases where current reports were not received, previous official and personnel
rolls have been retained or adjusted to the best information available. Below ap-
pears data summarized largely from the 1943 Statistical Report, the one last
issued at this date.
The number of churches and the church membership in each of the confer-
ences in North America are those reported at the close of the third quarter, 1944.
In fields outside of North America the church and membership statistics at the
close of 1943 have been used except in a few instances where the organizations
themselves have reported later figures. Populations of conferences in North Amer-
ica are based on the 1940 census reports; and population figures for other fields
have been furnished largely from the different Division or Union offices.
The names and addresses of workers in official positions who hold missionary
credentials have been included in the Workers Directory in addition to ordained
and licensed ministers. Also a separate index of principal workers employed in
educational, publishing and medical institutions is given for the first time this
Year.
The Seventh-day Adventist denomination was organized May 21, 1863, with a
constituency of 125 churches and 3,500 members. The work was largely confined
to North America until the year 1874, when the first missionary, Elder J. N.
Andrews, was sent to Switzerland. Gradually other countries were entered. In
1886 a minister went to Russia, the first non-Protestant country in which this work
was started. The schooner "Pitcairn" was launched in San Francisco Bay on
July 28, 1890, and was soon prepared to carry groups of missionaries to various
Pacific islands. In 1894 Seventh-day Adventist workers first entered a heathen
land, opening a mission in Matabeleland, South Africa. South America was entered
the same year, and Japan in 1896.
'Since 1901 to the close of 1943, 4,918 missionaries have been sent out for mis-
sion service in various lands, occupying all of the larger countries of the world
and many of the islands of the sea. Twenty-nine thousand seven hundred seventy-
three evangelistic and institutional workers were using in their work 810 languages
and modes of speech.
The membership of the 9,282 Seventh-day Adventist churches throughout the
world in 1943 was 544,710. There were 67 union conferences and missions, 136
local conferences, 185 regularly organized mission fields, and 540 institutions. Of
the 29,773 laborers, 10,985 were in North America, and 18,788 in other countries.
The funds in tithes and offerings contributed in 1943 by Seventh-day Advent-
ists were the largest ever raised by the denomination during any one year. The
amount of $25,679,249.11 was a per capita contribution of $47.14 for every mem-
ber in the world field. In North America alone the per capita giving in tithes
and offerings was $101.04.
The Statistical Report showed that there were 61 Seventh-day Adventist pub-
lishing houses and branches, whose book and periodical retail sales in 1943 were
$7,682,683.94. These publishing houses employed 1,223 workers in producing this
literature, and 3,480 more were engaged in its distribution. Seventh-day Adventist
literature has been printed in about 200 languages, and there were 313 periodicals
issued.
The enrollment in the 14,574 Sabbath schools was 654,370, and the annual Sab-
bath school contributions were $3,005,825.14. Sanitariums, hospitals, and treat-
ment rooms, to the number of 173, engaged in the care of the sick, with 5,758 physi-
cians, nurses, and other attendants, who treated 807,250 patients during 1943.
There were 3,027 elementary schools, and 277 secondary and advanced schools
with 6,563 teachers employed, and an enrollment of 128,529 pupils. At the close
of the 1942-43 school year 1,190 students entered some line of denominational work.
The property value of all organizations and institutions connected with the
Seventh-day Adventist denomination, including churches, at the close of 1943, was
$86,141,653.96.
The total amount of funds in tithes and offerings contributed since the organi-
zation of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference in 1863 to the close of
1943 was $355,815,539.81. Literature sales for the same period were registered at
$143,947,657.62.

FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS OF SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTISTS
Seventh-day Adventists hold certain fundamental beliefs, the principal features
of which, together with a portion of the scriptural references upon which they are
based, may be summarized as follows:
1. That the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by
inspiration of God, contain an all-sufficient revelation of His will to men, and are
the only unerring rule of faith and practice. 2 Tim. 3:15-17.
2. That the Godhead, or Trinity, consists of the Eternal Father, a personal,
spiritual Being, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, infinite in wisdom and love;
the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal Father, through whom all things were
created and through whom the salvation of the redeemed hosts will be accomplished ;
the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, the great regenerating power in
the work of redemption. Matt. 28:19.
3. That Jesus Christ is very God, being of the same nature and essence as the
Eternal Father. While retaining His divine nature He took upon Himself the
nature of the human family, lived on the earth as a man, exemplified in His life
as our Example the principles of righteousness, attested His relationship to God by
many mighty miracles, died for our sins on the cross, was raised from the dead, and
ascended to the Father, where He ever lives to make intercession for us. John
1:1, 14; Heb. 2:9-18; 8:1, 2; 4:14-16 ; 7:25.
4. That every person in order to obtain salvation must experience the new birth ;
that this comprises an entire transformation of life and character by the recreative
power of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:16 ; Matt. 18:3 ;
Acts 2:37-39.
6. That baptism is an ordinance of the Christian church and should follow
repentance and forgiveness of sins. By its observance faith is shown in the death,
burial, and resurrection of Christ. That the proper form of baptism is by immer-
sion. Rom. 6:1-6 ; Acts 16:30-33.
6. That thb will of God as it relates to moral conduct is comprehended in His
law of ten commandments ; that these are great moral, unchangeable precepts,
binding upon all men, in every age. Ex. 20:1-17.
7. That the fourth commandment of this unchangeable law requires the observ-
ance of the seventh day Sabbath. This holy institution is at the same time a
memorial of creation and a sign of sanctification, a sign of the believer's rest from
his own works of sin, and his entrance into the rest of soul which Jesus promises
to those who come to Him. Gen. 2:1-3 ; Ex. 20:8-11 ; 31:12-17 ; Heb. 4:1-10.
8. That the law of ten commandments points out sin, the penalty of which is
death. The law cannot save the transgressor from his sin, nor impart power to
keep him from sinning. In infinite love and mercy, God provides a way whereby
this may be done. He furnishes a substitute, even Christ the Righteous One, to die
in man's stead, making "Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin ; that we might be
made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Cor. 5:21. That one is justified, not by
obedience to the law, but by the grace that is in Christ Jesus. By accepting Christ,
man is reconciled to God, justified by His blood for the sins of the past, and saved
from the power of sin by his indwelling life. Thus the gospel becomes "the power
of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth." Rom. 1:16. This experience is
wrought by the divine agency of the Holy Spirit, who convinces of sin and leads to
the Sin-Bearer, inducting the believer into the new covenant relationship, where the
law of God is written on his heart, and through the enabling power of the in-
dwelling Christ, his life is brought into conformity to the divine precepts. The
honor and merit of this wonderful transformation belong wholly to Christ. 1 John
2 :1,2 : sl :4 : Rom. 3:20 ; 5 :8-10 ; 7 :7 ; Eph. 2:8-10 ; 3 :17 Gal. 2 :20 ; Heb. 8 :8-12.
4
FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS(cid:9) 5
9. That God "only hath immortality." 1 Tim. 6:15. Mortal man possesses a
nature inherently sinful and dying. Eternal life is the gift of God through faith in
Christ. Rom. 6:23. "He that hath the Son hath life." 1 John 5:12. Immortality
is bestowed upon the righteous at the second coming of Christ, when the righteous
dead are raised from the grave and the living righteous translated to meet the Lord.
Then it is that those accounted faithful "put on immortality." 1 Cor. 15:51-55.
10. That the condition of man in death is one of unconsciousness. That all men,
good and evil alike, remain in the grave from death to the resurrection. Eccl.
9:5, 6 ; Ps. 146:3, 4 ; John 6:28, 29.
11. That there shall be a resurrection both of the just and of the unjust. The
resurrection of the just will take place at the second coming of Christ; the resur-
rection of the unjust will take place a thousand years later, at the close of the
millennium. John 5:28, 29 ; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 20 :6-10.
12. That the finally impenitent, including Satan, the author of sin, will, by the
fires of the last day, be reduced to a state of non-existence, becoming as though they
had not been, thus purging God's universe of sin and sinners. Rom. 6:23 ;
4:1-8; Rev. 20:9, 10 ; Obadiah 16.
13. That no prophetic period is given in the Bible to reach to the second advent,
but that the longest one, the 2300 days of Dan.• 8:14, terminated in 1844, and
brought us to an event called the cleansing of the sanctuary.
14. That the true sanctuary, of which the tabernacle on earth was a type, is the
temple of God in Heaven, of which Paul speaks in Hebrews 8 and onward, and of
which the Lord Jesus, as our great high priest, is minister ; and that the priestly
work of our Lord is the antitype of the work of the Jewish priests of the former
dispensation; that this heavenly sanctuary is the one to be cleansed at the end of
the 2300 days of Daniel 8:14; its cleansing being, as in the type, a work of judg-
ment, beginning with the entrance of Christ as the high priest upon the judgment
phase of His ministry in the heavenly sanctuary foreshadowed in the earthly service
of cleansing the sanctuary on the day of atonement. This work of judgment in the
heavenly sanctuary began in 1844. Its completion will close human probation.
15. That God, in the time of the judgment and in accordance with His uniform
dealing with the human family in warning them of coming events vitally affecting
their destiny (Amos 3:6, 7.), sends forth a proclamation of the approach of the
second advent of Christ ; that this work is symbolized by the three angels of
Revelation 14 ; and that their threefold message brings to view a work of reform
to prepare a people to meet Him at His coming.
16. That the time of the cleansing of the sanctuary, synchronizing with the
period of the proclamation of the message of Revelation 14, is a time of investi-
gative judgment, first with reference to the dead, and secondly, with reference to
the living. This investigative judgment determines who of the myriads sleeping in
the dust of the earth are worthy of a part in the first resurrection, and who of its
living multitudes are worthy of translation. 1 Peter 4 :17, 18; Dan. 7 :9, 10 ; Rev.
14:6, 7; Luke 20:35.
17. That the followers of Christ should be a godly people, not adopting the
unholy maxims nor conforming to the unrighteous ways of the world, not loving
its sinful pleasures nor countenancing its follies. That the believer should recog-
nize his body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, and that therefore he should clothe
that body in neat, modest, dignified apparel. Further, that in eating and drinking
and in his entire course of conduct he should shape his life as becomes a follower
of the meek and lowly Master. Thus the believer will be led to abstain from all
intoxicating drinks, tobacco, and other narcotics, and the avoidance of every body
and soul defiling habit and practice. 1 Cor. 3:16, 17 ; 9:25 ; 10:31 ; 1 Tim. 2:9, 10;
1 John 2:6.
18. That the divine principle of tithes and offerings for the support of the gospel
is an acknowledgment of God's ownership in our lives, and that we are stewards
who must render account to Him of all that He has committed to our possession.
Lev. 27:30; Mal. 3 :8-12 ; Matt. 23 :23 ; 1 Cor. 9 :9-14 ; 2 Cor. 9 :6-15.
19. That God has placed in His church the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as enu-
merated in 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4. That these gifts operate in harmony
with the divine principles of the Bible, and are given for the perfecting of the
saints, the work of the ministry, the edifying of the body of Christ. Rev. 12:17;
19:10; 1 Cor. 1:6-7.
6(cid:9) FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS
20. That the second coming of Christ is the great hope of the church, the grand
climax of the gospel and plan of salvation. His coming will be literal, personal,
and visible. Many important events will be associated with His return, such as the
resurrection of the dead, the destruction of the wicked, the purification of the earth,
the reward of the righteous, the establishment of His everlasting kingdom. The
almost complete fulfillment of various lines of prophecy, particularly those found
in the books of Daniel and the Revelation, with existing conditions in the physical,
social, industrial, political, and religious worlds, indicates that Christ's coming
"is near, even at the doors." Matt. 24:33. The exact time of that event has not
been foretold. Believers are exhorted to be ready, for "in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man" (Matt. 24:44) will be revealed. Luke 21:25-27 ; 17:26-30
John 14:1-3 .• Acts 1:9-11 • Rev. 1:7 ; Heb. 9:28 ; James 5:1-8 ; Joel 3:9-16 ; 2 Tim.
3 :1-5 ; Dan. 7 :27 ; Matt. 24 :86, 44.
21. That the millennial reign of Christ covers the period between the first and
the second resurrections, during which time the saints of all ages will live with
their blessed Redeemer in Heaven. At the end of the millennium, the Holy City
with all the saints will descend to the earth. The wicked, raised in the second
resurrection, will go up on the breadth of the earth with Satan at their head to
compass the camp of the saints, when fire will come down from God out of Heaven
and devour them. In the conflagration which destroys Satan and his host, the
earth itself will be regenerated and cleansed from the effects of the curse. Thus
the universe of God will be purified from the foul blot of sin. Revelation 20 ;
Zech. 14:1-4; 2 Peter 3:7-10.
22. That God will make all things new. The earth, restored to its pristine
beauty, will become forever the abode of the saints of the Lord. The promise to
Abraham, that through Christ he and his seed should possess the earth throughout
the endless ages of eternity, will be fulfilled. "The kingdom and dominion, and the
greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven will be given to the people of
the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all
dominions shall serve and obey Him." Dan. 7:27. Christ, the Lord, will reign
supreme, and every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the
earth, and such as are in the sea, will ascribe "blessing, and honor, and glory, and
power," unto "Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and
ever." Gen. 13:14-17; Rom. 4:13 ; Heb. 11:8-16 ; Matt. 5:5 ; Isaiah 85 ; Rev. 21:1-7 ;
5:13: Dan. 7:27.
