History of the seventh Day Adventists.

This denomination is only about a quarter Of
| a century old, and from very small beginning
| has rapidly increased. Nearly every one is fa-
miliar with the history of William Miller and
| others who believed that the second coming of
Christ would take place about A. D. 1S43 and
1914.
After their disappointment the Adven.ists
became divided into two parties,one party taken
the position that the prophetic periods did not
reach to the end of probation, and, therefore,
the exact time of Christs second advent could
not be ascertained. They also took the position
that God s law is perfect and unchangeable
therefore they concluded that the seventh day
of the week or Saturday must be the true
Sabbath, the change and restoration Of which
they claim is taught in prophecy.
The other viewed the matter in a different
light and have been continually setting the
time for the Lord to come
Seventh Day Adveututs have ever had a
missionary spirit and believers in their views
are now four d in nearly every state and terri
tory in the Union, also in Canada, England,
Scotland ireland, Europe, Asia, Africa, Aus
trala, and the Islands of the Pacific. They
number about thirty thonsen1 souls, and have
nearly four hIhI.cI regularly organized
churches.
Their publishing work beg IN in 1916 under
the direction of James White of Palmyra,
Maine. In 1861 an association was formed
which soon became an important body under
the statutes of the state of Michigan. A COM
modious brick building, two stories high, with
a basement, was erected. In 1871 it became
necessary to build another of the same size,
and in 1873 third was erected.
About sixty workmen are now employed in
their publishing houses, and the mail matter
sent out sometimes exceeds two hundred BUSH
els in week. Five papers are published and
large numbers or books, tracts, etc., in six DIFF
ferent languages. They have large publish
ing house in Oakland, Cal and one in Swift
zerland that publishes French paper.
The working machinery of their churches is
always in good order. They discard the Gus
tomary contribution box, as their members
cheerfully follow the Bible plan of giving ne
tenth of their actual profit, for the support of
the ministry. They have fifteen state confer
ences, each of which is responsible to the gen.
eral conference at Battle Creek, Michigan.
They hold camp-meetings all over the eoun-
try. Their annual camp-meeting in this state
will be held in Richmond from Aug 10Th to
Sept. 4th. REPORTER
