About This Book

A first-person memoir traces early family life and spiritual development, then recounts deep involvement in the Advent movement, including encounters with leading interpreters of prophecy, study of Daniel and the 2300-day prophecy, and the emergence of the three-angel messages. It describes revival activity, camp meetings, lectures, publishing efforts, organizational formation, and disputes and opposition, and outlines adoption of Sabbath observance and other doctrinal positions. Interwoven are reflections on prophetic interpretation, accounts of public labor and conferences, and an appeal to strengthen faith and perseverance among adherents.

ADVENT BOOKS.

“These have been greatly multiplied within the last four years. As already remarked, the first and most important work published, was Mr. Miller’s lectures. That volume may be regarded as the seed from which all the rest have germinated. The works of Miller, Ward, Hale, Bliss, Fitch, Storrs, Brown, Hervey, Cook, Whiting, Starkweather, Hawley, Litch, Fleming, Cox, Sabine, &c., constitute the Second Advent Library, and exhibit the views which have been presented to the public by the lectures. Other sheets and pamphlets have been published.

“Some of the sheets which have been published and circulated have accomplished a vast amount of good. The ‘Clue to the Time,’ written by Bro. L. Hersey, a shoemaker in Boston, and a city watchman, with a diagram, has been the means of great good. Eternity alone will reveal the many precious souls who have been led to look for the Lord’s coming from the reading of one of those sheets.”
