On May 12th, 2010 Hansen says:
Dr. Benjamin G. Wilkinson, noted Adventist scholar and Bible teacher, believed that the Jesuits were an organization that should be monitored very carefully.Wilkinson "started the work in Rome, Paris and Spain."(Seventh-day Adventist Encyclopedia, Revised Edition, 1976, Article "Wilkinson, Benjamin, George, page 1609).
...
In those Roman Catholic controlled areas, Wilkinson personally experienced the cunning opposition of the Jesuits against the work of the third angel's message.
"The Jesuits proposed to dominate all schools and colleges," Wilkinson stated."This they sought to accomplish in non-Catholic schools by occupying the pulpits and the professorial chairs, not as Jesuits, but as professed adherents of the Protestant churches to which these schools belonged."(Dr. Benjamin G. Wilkinson, Truth Triumphant, Pacific Press Publishing Association, 1944, page 316, emphasis supplied).
"It was their studied aim to gain entrance, under the guise of friendship," Wilkinson continued, "into services of the State and to climb up as advisers to the highest officers, where they could so influence affairs as to bring them into the orbit of Rome."(ibid., Wilkinson, Truth Triumphant, page 316, emphasis supplied).

Dr. Benjamin G. Wilkinson's Startling Story
The following experience was related by Dr. Benjamin Wilkinson while he was the president of Columbia Union College and the Bible instructor at the Seventh-day Adventist Church Seminary in Washington D.C.
"I had been carrying a heavy load of work for the past few years, pastor of Old Capitol Memorial [SDA] Church, President of the College, teaching Bible Classes to young ministerial students at the College," Wilkinson began."When it was proposed to relieve me of some of the class work as Bible teacher, and hire a bright young man with an advanced degree in theology to take over my Bible doctrines class, I consented."(Dr. Benjamin G. Wilkinson as told to Ralph Moss on April 21, 1956, in Takoma Park, Maryland, emphasis supplied).
...
"This young instructor had a very pleasing personality and a magnetic attraction about him," Wilkinson recalled."I had nothing to do with his being hired."(ibid., Wilkinson, April 21, 1956, emphasis supplied).
[NOTE:--Wilkinson did not reveal who the higher Church administrators were who "proposed to relieve him of some of his class work as Bible teacher, and hire a bright young man with an advanced degree in theology."The names of these persons would be invaluable for research in tracing the historical infiltration of Jesuit influence into the contemporary Seventh-day Adventist Church.N.C.L.]
"He began teaching and for about a year all seemed to go well," Wilkinson continued."Then some of my former students came to me and seemed confused with questions about our doctrines, and they seemed uncertain concerning exactly what we taught and believed."( ibid., Wilkinson, April 21, 1956).
"They confided in me that this new Bible instructor did not teach the same way I had taught them," Wilkinson disclosed."He would leave matters up-in-the-air, express doubts about portions of the Bible, and not answer all questions that were put to him in class."(ibid., Wilkinson, April 21, 1956, emphasis supplied).
...
Dr. Wilkinson was here speaking of an incident that took place over fifty years ago!How much nearer are we now to the close of probation?
"All this aroused my suspicions for I knew all was not well and our students were not getting a firm foundation in Truth," Wilkinson admitted."I felt badly about the matter, since I had consented to give up my classes, and now this was happening.I determined to look into the matter."(ibid., Wilkinson, April 21, 1956).
"I watched the young instructor's mail," Wilkinson continued."Every two weeks or so a long letter came for him in his mail `slot'. (All the teachers and faculty had their mail placed in open `pigeon' holes and all one had to do was look in and see the letter)."(ibid., Wilkinson, April 21, 1956).
"I noticed the return address on this one letter was a Jesuit Institution in Washington D.C.," Wilkinson recalled."I knew all these places and their locations."(ibid., Wilkinson, April 21, 1956, emphasis supplied).
"I took this letter and steamed it open," Wilkinson admitted."I felt that if the Bible instructor was a Jesuit in disguise what I was doing was justified."(ibid., Wilkinson, April 21, 1956).
"In the letter were his orders for the coming month on what he was to present to his class and a report sheet on his activities to date," Wilkinson related. (ibid., Wilkinson, April 21, 1956, emphasis supplied).
What did Dr. Wilkinson do?What would you do in his place, dear reader?
"The next day I called him in to my office, gave him his letter," Wilkinson concluded."I said to him, `I know who you really are, and why you are here.' He picked up his mail, left the campus of Washington Missionary College the same hour, never bothering to pick up his back pay.I never saw him again."(ibid., Wilkinson, April 21, 1956, emphasis supplied).
...
Remember, dear reader, this unfortunate historical Supreme Court case of 1974 took place over twenty years after the above story told by Dr. Benjamin G. Wilkinson, and twelve years after four Adventist "observers" at the 1962 Vatican Council II.
