1888年10月10日至11月4日，基督复临安息日会在美国明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行了教牧人员会议和总会会议。《怀爱伦1888年会议资料集》专门收集怀爱伦与这次会议直接或间接有关的书信、手稿、文章和讲道。在基督复临安息日会的历史中，没有一次总会会议象1888年的会议那样经历过如此的分析和研究，引发这么多的评论。{1888 3.1}
§4
The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials consists exclusively of Ellen G. White letters, manuscripts, articles, and sermons that relate directly or indirectly to the Ministerial Institute and General Conference session held by Seventh-day Adventists in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from October 10 to November 4, 1888. No General Conference session in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist church has undergone such analysis and scrutiny, or has elicited as much comment as the 1888 meeting. {1888 3.1}
§5
怀爱伦著作托管委员会认为，理解1888年总会会议以及随后几年历史的关键，应该从怀爱伦当时以及随后几年有关她在明尼阿波利斯经验的著作中找到。在1888年以后的十年时间里,她多次提到明尼阿波利斯以及那里所表现的精神。{1888 3.2}
§6
The White Estate Trustees believe that the key to understanding the 1888 General Conference session, as well as the history of subsequent years, is to be found in the writings of Ellen G. White. Mrs. White had much to say at the time, and in later years as well, about her experience in Minneapolis. In the decade following 1888, she frequently referred to Minneapolis and the spirit that was manifested there. {1888 3.2}
§7
鉴于1988年是1888年会议的百年纪念,各地安息日复临信徒整年的注意力都将聚焦在1888年会议上，怀爱伦著作托管委员会认为人们将会对了解怀爱伦关于明尼阿波利斯会议的言论产生浓厚的兴趣，所以委员会向我们教会的信徒提供了这本综合文献集，其中收集了怀爱伦涉及明尼阿波利斯会议的全部文稿和信函。在多数情况下，文稿和书信即使只有一部分触及这个主题，也都全文收录。姓名保留怀爱伦所使用的原样,除了一两处原来文档留白而没有提供姓名。 {1888 3.3}
§8
Since 1988 marks the centenary of the 1888 meeting, and since the attention of Seventh-day Adventists everywhere will be focused on 1888 throughout the year, the White Estate Trustees feel that there will be a keen interest in knowing what Ellen White had to say about the Minneapolis meeting. Thus the Trustees are making available to our church members this comprehensive collection of all the E. G. White manuscripts and letters that in any way refer to Minneapolis. In most cases the entire manuscript or letter has been included even though only a portion may be germane to this subject. Names have been left in just as Ellen White used them, except in one or two instances where the file copy has a blank instead of a name. {1888 3.3}
§9
几乎所有的文稿和书信都保持文档中的原样，因此拼写的错误未作更正，文稿也未因出版而作任何修饰和改进。文稿和书信若已全文发表，我们收录时采用语法上作过校订、便于阅读的《怀爱伦文集》形式。否则，以前发表过的材料只在旁注中说明。本资料集的大多数材料以前都未以任何形式出版或发表。{1888 3.4}
§10
Nearly all the manuscripts and letters have been copied directly from the file drawers where they are housed, hence misspellings have not been {1888 3.4}
§11
虽然怀爱伦在明尼阿波利斯会议上的讲道已在多年前A.V.奥尔森编辑的《十三年危机》（从危机到胜利）中发表，本集依然予以收录。《十三年危机》所没有收录的一次讲道和另一次讲道片段现予以增录。我们尽力使本集达到完善。但是如果有相关的讲道、书信或手稿被无意疏漏，后来又发现了，那就会收录在本集以后的重印版本中。{1888 4.1}
§12
corrected, nor have the documents been improved in any other way for publication. Where complete letters or manuscripts have already been released, these are reproduced in their grammatically edited, more legible, “Manuscript Release” form. Otherwise, previously released materials are noted only on the margin of each page. Most of the materials in this collection have never been released or published before in any form.Although the sermons given by Ellen White at Minneapolis have been published for many years in Thirteen Crisis Years (formerly Through Crisis to Victory) by A. V. Olson, they are repeated here. One sermon and portions of another not found in Thirteen Crisis Years have been added as well. We have made every endeavor to make this collection as complete as possible; however, if a pertinent sermon, letter, or manuscript has been inadvertently overlooked and comes to our attention later, it will be added to any subsequent printings of these materials. {1888 4.1}
§13
本资料集并非专门论述因信称义。在1888年以后的岁月里，怀爱伦经常讲论因信称义和成圣的题目，但只是与明尼斯波尼斯会议有关的讲道才收录在内。读者还可以参阅怀爱伦的《信心与行为》以及她发表在《评论与通讯》里的文章，对基督和祂的义作进一步了解。{1888 4.2}
§14
This collection is not a compendium on the subject of righteousness by faith. Ellen White preached often on justification and sanctification by faith in the years following 1888, but only those sermons in which reference was made to the Minneapolis conference are included here. The reader is referred to the Ellen G. White book Faith and Works and the E. G. White Review and Herald Articles for additional presentations on the subject of Christ and His righteousness. {1888 4.2}
§15
我们很遗憾有些文稿很难辨认，但这是我们所存文档中的最好副本了。我们认为现在将这些资料按目前的状况利用起来，胜于等待将来某时作出语法和文字修订后再出版。所有的文稿和书信都有自己的页码，但复印机不一定完全复制。 {1888 4.3}
§16
We regret that a number of pages are barely legible, but these are the best copies that could be made from the documents as they exist in our files. We feel it is better to make these materials available now, in their present condition, than to wait till some future date when grammatical 5editing and retyping can be done. All manuscripts and letters have their own pagination, though this has not always been reflected by the copy machine. {1888 4.3}
§17
我们向所有寻求按上帝的旨意明白1888年事件的人推荐学习这些书信、手稿、文章和讲道。我们相信这些文献将成为有益的向导，帮助每一个希望从我们的属灵先辈在一百多年前学得或未学的教训中获益的安息日复临信徒。 {1888 5.1}
§18
To all who seek to understand the 1888 event from God’s perspective, we recommend the study of these letters, manuscripts, articles, and sermons. We believe they will serve as a helpful guide to every Seventh-day Adventist who desires to benefit from lessons our spiritual ancestors learned or failed to learn one hundred years ago. {1888 5.1}
