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.

PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION.

But the wants of the cause soon demanded an enlargement of capital, and more extended operations. To this end the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association was incorporated in the city of Battle Creek, May 3, 1861, to which the Review and all the publishing interests were made over by those who had heretofore had them in charge. This Association immediately erected a commodious publishing house, and has since that time been zealously engaged in carrying forward the objects of its formation. Its eighth annual report, May 14, 1868, showed the amount of property belonging to the Association, free from all incumbrance, to be $35,996.59.
