It is, and you found the article I was taking my information from.  ;D
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. Psalm 119:18

As I read the history of these dear people I become utterly astounded at their profound conviction, spurring on almost super human zeal to accomplish the mission they clearly saw outlined for them. As Ellen White says, the Holy Spirit "nerved" them up for the task.

When men were called, they were genuinely called and they responded in ways we do not see. Well, maybe that is too strong a statement because occasionally we are eye witnesses to a young person drop everything they are doing, making a complete about face and committing every fiber of their being to God's cause. When we see this, we become astonished because it is such a rarity.

Young Fitch gave his all, even unto death for the cause of Jesus. So did so many others. We have much to live up to. That will truly be a "special resurrection" day when that man, along with many others, come from their dusty graves to their eternal reward. "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."

My heart swells just thinking of it.

Yup I grin about it too. My IQ has shot up 20 points since the invention of Google. I can actually do crossword puzzles now. LOL. And understand words like collywobbles.

Ohhhh! So that's the secret. I know it is probably not my turn to ask a question as I have been better at asking than answering the questions but I learned something interesting the other day. Often I'm too busy, impatient, stubborn, and or pokey in searching and ferriting the answer out.  Since this is a true or false question it may be impossible to ask the question without giving away the answer.

Anyway, True or false.    Abel's murder was premeditated.

Anyway, True or false.    Abel's murder was premeditated.

While the Bible does not specifically say that it was premeditated, one could conclude that it was from Gen. 4:8 (And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.)  If it was on the spur of the moment, in a heat of anger, it would seem that it would be more likely to have taken place immediately following the rejection of his sacrifice.  But this is all speculation, of course, and I suppose that there is some piece of evidence that I've missed, that you will produce to either shoot down my theory, or verify it.  To be honest, I hadn't really thought about it in terms of premeditation before.

Also, I suppose, one could draw that conclusion from I John 3:12:  Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.  Although drawing that conclusion from this verse might be more of a stretch.  But it does imply a recognition on the part of Cain that he was in the wrong, and therefore had some time to think about it beforehand.  Unless John is just making an inspired commentary on the underlying reason for Abel's murder (from the divine perspective), rather than commenting on any thought processes that may have occurred in Cain's mind.
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants:  we have done that which was our duty to do.  Luke 17:10

Wally;

I believe you are saying "True."

Though it is apparent that Cain had very bad feelings toward his brother I always assumed he had not intended to kill Abel but did so in a momentary fit of anger.

"Cain invites Abel to walk with him in the fields, and he there gives utterance to his unbelief and his murmuring against God. He claims that he was doing well in presenting his offering; and the more he talks against God, and impeaches his justice and mercy in rejecting his own offering and accepting that of his brother Abel, the more bitter are his feelings of anger and resentment. " {ST, December 16, 1886 par. 11}

 "The spirit of Satan had entered into Cain. Satan was an accuser, and Cain began his evil course by accusing God of partiality and injustice. Satan was a deceiver, and Cain deceived Abel by inviting him into the field when murder was in his heart, that he might do the dark deed in secret. Satan "was a murderer from the beginning;" and he instigated Cain to do the same cruel work. "He is a liar, and the father of it;" and here, too, Cain showed himself an apt and proficient pupil. " {ST, December 16, 1886 par. 15}

So it was premeditated!  Interesting quote from ST.  I had never read that before.

... or Storrs. They worked closely together during that time, but I have to settle on Snow.

McNulty told of some of this history in the LLU Adventist History class and I particularly recall Snow's participation.

Nope. This man began preaching it on July 26, 1843.
