The Removal to Washington addresses the controversial relocation of denominational headquarters from Battle Creek, Michigan to Washington D.C. This pamphlet explains divine leading in the move, its prophetic significance, and practical benefits. White addressed opposition to relocation, showing God's hand in circumstances forcing the move (Battle Creek fire destroying facilities, institutional conflicts, need for fresh start). The pamphlet outlined Washington's advantages: strategic location near nation's capital, healthier climate, opportunities for influential ministry, and escape from entrenched problems at Battle Creek. White emphasized that God sometimes uses crises to accomplish His purposes, that change though difficult brings needed renewal, and that following divine leading despite opposition demonstrates faith. The relocation proved pivotal in denominational development.
Church members understanding denominational history, believers facing difficult transitions, leaders implementing needed changes, and those studying God's leading through crises.
