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 appears
data summarized largely from the 1948 Statistical Report, the one Tast issued at
this date.
The number of churches and the church membership in each of the conferences
in North America are those reported at the close of the third quarter, 1949. In fields
outside of North America the church and membership statistics at the close of 1948
have been, used except in instances where the organizations themselves have
reported later figures. Populations of conferences in North America are based on
the 1940 census reports; and population figures for other fields have been fur-
nished largely from the different Division or Union offices.
Following the. classification order of workers in the General Conference
Working Policy, those persons who carry missionary credentials are placed im-
mediately following the ordained minister groups in the conference and mission
sections of the Yearbook. The Workers Directory lists the names and addresses
of ordained and licensed ministers and workers holding missionary credentials and
Bible instructors credentials. A separate list of principal workers employed in
educational, publishing and medical institutions is also given.
The Seventh-day Adventist denomination was organized May 21, 1863, with
a constituency of 125 churches and 3,500 members. The work was largely con-
fined 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.
Although publishing and the distribution of literature had been a major factor-
in the development of the Advent cause from its beginning,' the first regular pub-
lishing house was incorporated in 1861 at Battle Creek, Mich., under the name of
the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association. The Advent Review and Sabbath
Herald was first published in 1860 at Paris, Maine; the Youth's Instructor at
Rochester, N.Y., in 1852; and the Signs of the Times at Oakland, Calif., in 1874. .
In 1866 the Health Reform Institute, later the Battle Creek Sanitarium, was
established. The first denominational school was opened in 1872. Tract and mis-
sionary society work was organized on a state-wide basis in 1870, and state Sabbath
school associations in 1877. The name, "Seventh-day Adventists," was chosen in
1860, and in 1903 the denominational headquarters ,were moved from Battle Creek,
Mich., to Washington, D.C.
Since 1900 to the close of 1948, 6,211 missionaries have been sent out for mission
service in various lands comprising all of the larger countries of the world and
many of the islands of the sea. Thirty-seven thousand three hundred thirty-three
evangelistic and institutional workers were using 705 languages and modes of
speech in their gospel service.
The membership of the 9,749 Seventh-day Adventist churches throughout the
world in 1948 was 672,658. There were 74 union conferences and missions, 139
local conferences, 213 regularly organized mission fields, and 534 institutions. Of
the 37,333 laborers, 13,880 were in North America, and 23,453 in other countries.
The funds in tithes and offerings contributed in 1948 by Seventh-day Adventists
were the largest ever raised by the denomination during any one year. The amount
of $42,034,536.78 was a per capita contribution of $62.49 for every member in the
world field. In North America alone the per capita giving in tithes and offerings
was $135.70. In addition to the above, $267,951.71 was given in North America in
1948 for mission rehabilitation and famine relief.
The Statistical Report showed that there were 52 Seventh-day Adventist pub-
lishing houses and branches, whose book and periodical retail sales in 1948 were
$11,730,590.22. These publishing houses employed 1,747 workers in producing this

literature, and 3,461 more were engaged in its distribution. Seventh-day Adventist
literature has been printed in 195 languages, and there were 294 periodicals issued.
The enrollment in the 16,587 Sabbath schools was 833,628, and the annual
Sabbath school contributions were $4,643,939.29. Sanitariums, hospitals, and treat-
ment rooms, to the number of 160 engaged in the care of the sick, with 7,605
physicians, nurses and other attendants, caring for 138,135 patients in the institu-
tions and furnishing 1,681,782 additional treatments and medical services during
1948.
There were 3,650 elementary schools, and 292 secondary and advanced schools
with 9,177 teachers employed, and an enrollment of 180,121 pupils. At the close
of the 1947-48 school year 1,246 students entered some branch of denominational
work.
The property value of all organizations and institutions connected with the
Seventh-day Adventist denomination, including churches, at the beginning of 1948
was $151,246,974.05.
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
1948 was $533,071,470.28. Literature sales for the same period were registered as
$195,288,795.76.
