The work of the 1905 General Conference session continued at an even pace. Ten times Ellen White addressed the session including once during the first Sabbath morning and on each of the two following Sabbath afternoons. 5BIO 414.1
“The Lord has helped me,” wrote Ellen White near the close of the session, “to make the discourses impressive.... I still have a work to do on the grounds, for certain individuals.”—Letter 149, 1905. One of these was Elder A. T. Jones, still a member of the General Conference Committee but now closely associated with Dr. J. H. Kellogg and in full sympathy with him. 5BIO 414.2
Sometime during the session a vision was given Ellen White in which “Elder Jones's case was again presented to me.”—Letter 116, 1906. This led her to have an extended interview with him in which she discussed the peril of his being in Battle Creek in close association with Dr. Kellogg. But the interview was unproductive, for Jones felt he was in no danger. His presence at this meeting marked the close of his connection with the church in an official capacity—a connection that in its earlier years was marked by outstanding contributions. 5BIO 414.3
