Washburn concluded one of his letters to Ellen White with the thought that he still had much to learn about the book of Revelation. He appeared wary of using it in his evangelistic approach, at least in the initial stages. In the 1890s the work of an evangelist was sufficiently newsworthy to attract attention from local newspapers. In Bath, Newport, and Cardiff, they reproduced Washburn’s sermons verbatim, a godsend to the modem researcher. Thus we may read exactly what he said and analyze his evangelistic method. Washburn treated Revelation as a "postgraduate" course. In both Newport and Cardiff he preached from the book, but only after spending two evangelistic seasons preaching on Christ-centered topics and Daniel. His evangelistic method may be summed up as Christ always up front—His atonement, His righteousness, His soon return. When Washburn returned to the United States in 1900, he played "a leading part in the transfer of denominational headquarters from Battle Creek, Michigan, to Washington, D.C."[7] His return visits to Britain during the 1920s and early 1930s saw him engaged in revival crusades. Many Adventists still living date their conversion to Washburn meetings in dingy public halls under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Washburn outlived two wives. His first wife died in 1932, his second in 1953. He himself died on July 21, 1955, at Hagerstown, Maryland, at the age of 92. Speakers at his funeral service recalled his great love of music. He had composed hymns, led choirs, and sung solos throughout the United States and Great Britain. The style of his compositions was simple but indicative of his one abiding passion: the love of Christ for the sinner. 175
Thirty years after Washburn’s death, a conference committee met to choose the name for a new school hall. Aware of his importance in the history of British Adventism, the president suggested, "Why not the J. S. Washburn Hall?" Embarrassed puzzlement spread through the committee. "Never heard of him," said one member. The others admitted that they had not heard of him either. They chose another name. Review and Herald, Jan. 26, 1989 Notes: 1. The evidence from the June 4, 1950 interview with J. S. Washburn reveals that he was with the "three-fourths of the workers [who] stood against the new light" at Minneapolis. He remained in doubt as to A. T. Jones’ preaching the truth and as to Ellen White’s inspiration, until meeting and visiting with both of them at the Ottowa, Kansas, campmeeting the summer of 1889. (WDF 242, Ellen G. White Estate) (Note added by compiler.) 2. A report on the discussion and presentations at that Bible school is found in Ellen White’s diary for February 27, 1891 (manuscript 21, 1891). The quotations in this and the following paragraph are reproduced in The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, vol. 2, pp. 890, 891, 896. 3. Bryan Phillips, in an unpublished Ph.D. dissertation on early Adventism in Wales, at the University of Wales. See also David Marshall, The Third Angel’s Message (Stanborough Press, 1987), pp. 52-59. 4. This appears to be a typographical error. The year 1892 fits the context better.
