【我们的先贤所面对的亮光】
基督复临安息日会的工人们会欢迎这本《致“小群人”的信息》的重新印行。这份引人注目的文献是从1844年10月22日大失望,到1848年值得纪念的安息日会议,这重要的四年时间里发表的。它使我们了解我们先贤的经验和思考。他们曾如何作出诚恳的努力,探索他们的立场和工作,确定信徒和世界未来所要持守的。{WLF9.1}[1]

【Our Pioneers Facing the Light】
Seventh-day Adventist workers will welcome the appearance of this facsimile reproduction ofA Word to the “Little Flock.”This remarkable document, issued during the critical four-year period between the great disappointment of October 22, 1844, and the memorable Sabbath conferences of 1848, gives an insight into the experience and thinking of our pioneers in their earnest efforts to discover their position and work and to ascertain what the future held for the believers and the world.{WLF 9.1}[1]

这本小册子在1847年5月发行之时,含有三位早期的工人——怀雅各,怀爱伦,贝约瑟所签名的文稿。它原来是怀雅各表达他关于未应验预言之观点的一份出版物。那时在美国守安息日的复临信徒可能不到一百人。作为一个二十五岁的年轻传道人,他几乎是单独为他迄今所形成的观点而工作。这时离五次安息日会议的第一次不到一年。我们今日所尊敬的属灵先辈那时敞开心怀研究上帝的话,以便更好地了解其中的真理。{WLF9.2}[2]

While this pamphlet, issued in May, 1847, contains statements signed by three early workers, James White, Ellen G. White, and Joseph Bates, it is primarily a James White publication devoted to the setting forth of his views of unfulfilled prophecy. At that time there were probably not more than one hundred Sabbathkeeping Adventists in the United States. As a youthful minister of twenty-five, he worked almost alone in setting forth the views he had, up to that time, formulated. This was nearly a year before the first of the five Sabbath conferences convened, at which time those whom we today revere as our spiritual forefathers met together and with open minds and hearts searched the word of God to better understand its truths.{WLF 9.2}[2]

读者如果充分了解《致“小群人”的信息》的历史背景,就不会去计较怀长老几年以后对一些观点的立场所作的几处改动了,因为研究越成熟越连贯,观点就越清晰。这份文稿向我们展示了一位工人借着传播正在开启的亮光,去鼓励并帮助身旁人的画面。我们如果熟悉当今许多鼓吹不和谐观点和极端立场的声音,就会发现这些文章在推理的清晰,观点的基本正确性,和教导的纯正方面是非常出色的。{WLF9.3}[3]

With a full understanding of the historic setting ofA Word to the “Little Flock”, the reader will not be disturbed by finding that in a few instances positions set forth by Elder White on some points were modified by him in later years, as more mature and joint study revealed clearer views. This document presents a picture primarily of one worker’s attempt to cheer and aid those about him through a dissemination of light which was beginning to unfold. To one familiar with the many contemporary voices that were heard advocating discordant views and extreme positions, the clarity of reasoning and the essential correctness of perspective and purity of teaching of these articles are remarkable.{WLF 9.3}[3]

这本早期小册子的意义,还在于收录了怀爱伦夫人展示上帝子民经验的三封信函,其中两封信所描述的重要异象,大部分已在怀爱伦的其他书籍中一再重印。怀夫人在后来重印时删去了早期文献中的某些用语和词句,曾引起一些人的关注。读者可以从附录中简要了解这些异象的首印、省略现象,以及怀爱伦的解释等情况。{WLF9.4}[4]

Also of interest in this early publication are the three communications written by Mrs. E. G. White, depicting the experiences yet before the people of God. Two of these, being presentations of important visions, have been largely reprinted again and again in the E. G. White books. That some words, phrases, and sentences which appeared in these early accounts were left out by Mrs. White in later printings has been a source of concern to some. For a brief account of the first printing of these visions and a discussion of the omissions, together with Mrs. White’s explanation, the reader is directed to the appendix. [See Words of the Adventist Pioneers, under James White, for the complete text of this work, including the appendix].{WLF 9.4}[4]

出版社和怀爱伦著作托管委员会诚挚地希望,保持原有风貌的《致“小群人”的信息》的再版,会帮助我们更好地了解信息奠基人的经验,并满足多方表达的、想持有怀爱伦初版异象,以便认真学习的意愿。{WLF9.5}[5]

That the reissuance ofA Word to the “Little Flock”?in this form, identical with its original publication, may lead to a better understanding of the experience of the founders of the message, and that it may satisfy the frequently expressed desire to have at hand for careful study, the initial E. G. White visions as first printed, is the sincere wish of the Publishers and the ---Trustees of the Ellen G. White Publications.{WLF 9.5}[5]
