Sabbath. April 6, was a great day in the Conference. Sister White spoke in the Tabernacle at 11 A. M. to an overflowing house. Not only was every available seating space occupied, but every foot of standing room was covered. There must have been 3,500 people or more present to listen to a stirring address upon the duty of tithe-paying. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.1
At the same hour W. W. Prescott spoke to about all who could be accommodated in the College chapel. His subject was the Sanctuary and its service. Many thoughts were new, and so placed the subject in a new setting. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.2
E. J. Waggoner had another good-sized audience in the Review Office chapel, to whom he discoursed on the Temple of God, making, of course, a practical application of it to those who admit the Spirit of God into their hearts. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.3
The Sanitarium chapel also had an overflow congregation, to whom J. O. Corliss spoke on the process by which men may be found at last without fault before the throne of God. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.4
The four audiences aggregated somewhere between 4,500 and 5,000, making the largest Sabbath meeting ever held in Battle Creek. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.5
In the afternoon, Elder Haskell held another large audience to listen to the story of the grace of God to man, and what it will do for those who put their trust in God. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.6
At night E. J. Waggoner spoke to a crowded Tabernacle audience on how men become complete in Christ, as drawn from Colossians 2:10. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.7
The day was indeed one long to be remembered, and it is fervently hoped that the opportunities may bear abundant fruit in all who enjoyed them. The people who could not be present at this Conference may well anticipate great results in the lives of those who are more fortunate than themselves. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.8
As the closing hymn was announced Thursday evening, there was much confusion caused by many getting up and going out. Elder Jones said: “There is another word that I must say. Please all wait to hear it: One of the first fruits of that brooding Spirit is reverence for the house of God, and for the service of God that is conducted in his name and by his word. Therefore let us each one be sure to establish such a local self-government as shall keep each one in his seat and place until the services are completely closed, and the benediction pronounced. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.9
And if each one shall find established in himself such a degree of local self-government as shall enable him reverently to bow his head, and say, Amen, after the benediction shall have been pronounced, will be only so much the better. GCB April 7, 1901, page 89.10
