will not tarry.” Habakkuk 2:3

PREFACE

THERE are already many useful books in the hands of the people, and my
apology for adding another to the list, is that in these pages I state many things
concerning Adventists, and especially Seventh-day Adventists, which have not heretofore
been brought in this form before the people. Besides this, many who espoused the cause
in later years, and who have not witnessed the things mentioned, have earnestly requested
a narration of these facts and experiences from those earlier in the work. Having been
familiar with the advent movement in 1843 and 1844, and having, since Jan. 2, 1849,
proclaimed the doctrine, first as an Adventist, and since 1852 as a Seventh-day Adventist,
I esteem it a pleasure to “speak the things I have seen and heard.”
I have presented a statement concerning the advent movement, which from 1831
to 1844 spread to every civilized nation of the world.
Since 1845 there have been other bodies of Adventists which have proclaimed,
and still are proclaiming, the near advent of Christ. Instead of tracing all of those bodies,
it has been my purpose to give, at some length, the rise and progress of the Seventh-day
Adventists, calling especial attention to those agencies which, in the providence of God,
have aided in developing, from poverty and small beginnings, a people of whom,
although they number only about one hundred thousand, some of their opponents have
said, “From the energy and zeal with which they work one would judge that there were
two million of them.”
Even those who are only slightly conversant with Seventh-day Adventist history
know that since 1845 Mrs. E. G. White has been prominently connected with the
movement, both as a speaker and writer. They also know that connected with her work
there have been peculiar exercises, or gifts. It has been my privilege to be present
present and witness the operation of this gift about fifty times. In these pages I have
called attention to some twenty-six definite predictions made by Mrs. White which have
been most accurately fulfilled.
In addition to my own observations, I have also presented the testimony of other
eye-witnesses respecting their experiences. Such facts should have more weight with the
candid reader than random statements made by those who have never been present on
such occasions.
I commit the work to the readers, hoping that, with the blessing of God, the
perusal of these pages may be a means of promoting the cause of Christ in many hearts,
and trusting that all, as they read, will bear in mind the words of Paul to the
Thessalonians, “prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”
