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.

POWER PRESS.

The business at the Office increased so rapidly that the hand press soon became entirely inadequate for the work. An appeal was again made to the friends of the cause, this time for means sufficient to purchase a power press. The brethren immediately responded. An Adams New Patent Power Press was purchased, and the Review of July 30, 1857, was the first number printed upon it. A steam engine was soon obtained to run the press. The entire cost of press, engine, and fixtures, was twenty-five hundred dollars, which was soon met by the donations of the brethren.
