The Great Advent Movement By EMMA. E. HOWELL Issued by the Young People's Department!, of Missionary Volunteers, General Conference' of Seventh-day Adventists GENERAL CONFERENCE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TAKOMA PARK. WASHINGTON 12, D.C. RENCE LIBRARY TAKOMA PARK. WASHIN REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSN. TAKOMA PARK, WASHINGTON, D. C. Printed in the U. S. A. Copyright, 1935, by the Review and Herald Publishing Association Revised, 1941 Foreword IN this abridged history of the Seventh-day Adventist de- nomination emphasis has been laid on the message in its various phases rather than on the men and women who so loyally proclaimed the timely messages. Brief character sketches have been given of some who were most closely associated with the beginnings of the advent movement, but in the main, biographies of men will have to be culled from other books. We gratefully acknowledge material help and direct informa- tion from the following books: "The Great Controversy," by Mrs. E. G. White ; "The Great Second Advent Movement," by J. N. Loughborough ; "A History of the Origin and Progress of Seventh-day Adventists," by M. Ellsworth Olsen; "Story of the Advent Message," by Matilda Erickson Andross ; "Founders of the Message," by Everett Dick; and "Pioneer Stories," by A. W. Spalding. In the revised edition of 1941, we acknowledge further courtesies of assistance by LeRoy E. Froom and the Ellen G. White Publications office staff. Access to original sources, made available by the research work of these men, has led to minor changes in some of the stories of the beginnings of this movement. We regret that these were not available when the first edition was prepared. This history is written expressly for Seventh-day Adventist young people, in order that they may see the remarkable ways in which the Lord has led this people, and, seeing, shall be in- spired to study and prepare for service. As Mrs. E. G. White in her advanced years looked back over the progress of the advent movement, she exclaimed : "In review- ing our past history, having traveled over every step of advance to our present standing, I can say, Praise God ! As I see what the Lord has wrought, I am filled with astonishment, and with confidence in Christ as leader. We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history."—"Life Sketches," p. 196. 7199 A Word to Teachers Reference Books.—It is essential that the bibliography in this text shall be studied. The notes are addressed to the teachers and should be included in the class assignments. If there is not time or opportunity for everyone in the class to study all the collateral reading, assign references to individuals who will report briefly before the class. The texts most generally referred to are "The Great Controversy" "Life Sketches," "Early Writings," and "Senior Missionary Volun- teer Studies on Bible Doctrines." Other Sources of Information.—The Year Book, prepared annually by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists; the Review and Herald; the Youth's Instructor; division and union papers; and conversation or correspondence with your local conference workers—all are sources of information to be used in connection with this text. Dates.—We have endeavored to give the fewest possible dates, but history is made by the very progress of the marching years. The vital thing for the student is to memorize the most important dates, and group all others about these few. For instance, Seventh-day Adventist history disconnected from the year 1844 would mean nothing. Visualize the events that took place prior to this date and those following it. Again, it is important that Seventh-day Adventists know when our f or- eign mission work began-1874. By keeping that year in mind it is not difficult to remember in general when the various coun- tries were opened to the light of the third angel's message. Other dates also can be fixed in mind by applying the law of association. Historical Sequence.—Make it clear and keep it prominent in the minds of the students that the work of Seventh-day Adventists has developed step by step ; that when one phase of the work was introduced, it was carried along simultaneously with the others, unless it superseded some branch. The chap- ters in this book deal with different features from their incep- tion to the date of printing the book; but do not let the student accept the idea that the denomination has fostered one phase of the work over a period of time, then another, and another. All features have worked together for the finishing of the third angel's message and the coming of our Saviour.

In the beginning, however, even an approximation of the time of His coming was withheld. It would have been a great discouragement to our first parents and their immediate posterity if they had foreseen that it would be thousands of years before their hopes would be realized. Much greater would have been their temptation to say, "My Lord delayeth His coming," and thus to put off preparation for the event. In mercy the Lord then veiled the future, but as the day approaches He has not left His people in darkness. In all ages He has had important truths intended by His grace to lead out a people from the bondage of sin and to fit them for entrance into the heavenly Canaan. Always He has had at least one who would carry out His bidding in fostering these truths. When He was about to destroy the world with a flood, Noah was instructed to warn the inhabitants of the earth, and for one hundred twenty years he faithfully preached and prepared for that event. When the time came for the children of Israel to be de- livered from Egyptian bondage, God raised up Moses to deal with the haughty Pharaoh. All during the halting progress of Israel in that forty-year march through the wilderness, Moses was, under the mighty hand of God, their leader. John the Baptist was 'appointed a special work as the fore- runner of the first advent of our Lord. And the twelve dis- ciples, who had been taught personally by the Master Teacher, had a special commission to tell the world of a risen Saviour who would come again in the clouds of heaven. .rvV e today are not left to grope in ignorance of the times in which we live. The Lord down through the ages has spoken through His prophets. If the Jews had been alert to the scrolls of the prophets, they would not have been in darkness regarding the first advent of our Lord. Even so, it behooves us who live in these last days to look to the times in which we are living. 9 10 The Great Advent Movement NOTE."—To get the most out of this denominational history class, everyone should understand the following lessons in the booklet, "Senior Missionary Volunteer Studies on Bible Doctrines:" 13. The Setting lip of Christ's Kingdom 14. Empires of Prophecy x8. The Mediatorial Work of Christ 19. The Cleansing of the Sanctuary 20. The Time of the Cleansing of the Sanctuary The messages of the prophets are not the only basis that we have for our belief that Jesus is soon to return to this earth. We have the word of Jesus Himself that His followers could know when the time of His second appearing was drawing nigh. His disciples wanted to know, "What shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world ?" Read our Lord's reply in one or more of the Gospel records : Matthew 24 :1-33; Mark 13 :1-26 ; Luke 21 :7-28. Do we have evidence that these signs have been fulfilled? . NOTE.—Find your answer in the facts given in "The Great Controversy" concerning the following events: The Lisbon earthquake in 1755 (pp. 304, 3o5)• The dark day and the moon turned to blood (pp. 306-308). The falling of the stars (pp.

  • THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT and the Hope Ofthe Advent Let to Come Adventism Began in Disappointment in 1844And It Has Struggled with Disap­ Pointing Delays Ever Since
    THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT and the Hope ofthe Advent let To Come Adventism began in disappointment in 1844and it has struggled with disap­ pointing delays ever since. And now, 150 years later, how are we to keep hope alive in ouryoungpeople? ecently Dale Parnell, a professor at Oregon State University, told about traveling with his preschool son. Not long after they starred out, his son began asking those all-too-familiar questions, "Are we almost there? When will we get there? Are we there yet?" Finally, the father, with some exaspera- tion, told the child to be quiet. He would tell him when they were almost there. He would tell him when they were there. He didn't want to hear another question. The boy was silent for about two more hours. Finally, he could contain himself no longer, and with all innocence asked, "Daddy, how old will I be when we get there?" Sometimes it appears that to be an Adventist is to be like a child riding in the back seat of a car on a seemingly interminable trip. Adventism began in disappointment in 1844 and it has struggled with disappointing delays ever since. And now, 150 years later, how are we to keep hope alive in our young people? Or perhaps we should ask, why should we keep hope alive? Picture Any look at Adventist hope in 1994 must be different than it Removed would have been just a year and a halfago. In that time, we have seen Adventist hope not only plagued by disappoint­ ment and delay; we have also seen it go awry in devastation and destruction.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

  • On Being the Remnant
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Andrews University Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 24/1 (2013):127-174. Article © 2013 by Fernando Canale. On Being the Remnant Fernando Canale Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Andrews University Seventh-day Adventists claim to be the remnant church of biblical prophecy. Following the historicist method of prophetic interpretation they see themselves as the end time remnant predicted in Revelation 12:17.1 Specifically, they see their movement meeting the identifying marks of the remnant in the book of Revelation. These marks include commandment keeping (12:17), having the testimony of Jesus (12:17), perseverance (14:12), having the faith of Jesus (14:12), and proclaiming the three angels’ messages (14:6-12).2 Adventists teach that one should keep all the commandments of God, believe in gift of prophecy manifested through the writings of Ellen White, persevere, have the faith of Jesus (the truths of the Bible that Jesus believed and taught), and preach the three angels’ message of Revelation 14:6-12 that prepares God’s people for the Second Advent.3 With the passing of time, however, some Adventists have become more hesitant about their identity as the remnant. Although they are aware of the identifying marks of the remnant, they find it increasingly difficult to understand what makes them the remnant and explain it to other Protestant 1 Gerhard Pfandl, “Identifying Marks of the End-time Remnant in the Book of Revelation,” in Toward a Theology of the Remnant, ed.

  • The Origins of Millerite Separatism
    The Origins of Millerite Separatism By Andrew Taylor (BA in History, Aurora University and MA in History, University of Rhode Island) CHAPTER 1 HISTORIANS AND MILLERITE SEPARATISM ===================================== Early in 1841, Truman Hendryx moved to Bradford, Pennsylvania, where he quickly grew alienated from his local church. Upon settling down in his new home, Hendryx attended several services in his new community’s Baptist church. After only a handful of visits, though, he became convinced that the church did not believe in what he referred to as “Bible religion.” Its “impiety” led him to lament, “I sometimes almost feel to use the language [of] the Prophecy ‘Lord, they have killed thy prophets and digged [sic] down thine [sic] altars and I only am left alone and they seek my life.”’1 His opposition to the church left him isolated in his community, but his fear of “degeneracy in the churches and ministers” was greater than his loneliness. Self-righteously believing that his beliefs were the “Bible truth,” he resolved to remain apart from the Baptist church rather than attend and be corrupted by its “sinful” influence.2 The “sinful” church from which Hendryx separated himself was characteristic of mainstream antebellum evangelicalism. The tumultuous first decades of the nineteenth century had transformed the theological and institutional foundations of mainstream American Protestantism. During the colonial era, American Protestantism had been dominated by the Congregational, Presbyterian, and Anglican churches, which, for the most part, had remained committed to the theology of John Calvin. In Calvinism, God was envisioned as all-powerful, having predetermined both the course of history and the eternal destiny of all humans.

  • The Branch Davidian Siege and Its Impact on the Media and Scholarship
    THE BRANCH DAVIDIAN SIEGE AND ITS IMPACT ON THE MEDIA AND SCHOLARSHIP by AMY MARIE FLYNN (Under the Direction of Sandy Dwayne Martin) ABSTRACT Reviewing trends in the academic study of religion and examining media reports, attitudes towards new religious movements in American religious history shifted dramatically after the siege on the Branch Davidian compound. Surveying how scholars of religion and those in the media approached new religions, there is a notable shift in attitudes after the second raid on Mount Carmel. After the second raid in 1993, scholars published more work on new religious movements, and the media questioned its responsibility when chronicling such events.
