INDEX HARRIET LIVERMORE HARRIET LIVERMORE 1814 The French astrologer Pierre Turrel had, using four different calculation methods, had announced four different possible dates for the end of the world. The dates had been 1537, 1544, 1801, and 1814. –Nope, nope, nope, and nope (Randi, James. THE MASK OF NOSTRADAMUS. Amherst NY: Prometheus Books, 1993, page 239). While attending Atkinson Academy near Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Harriet Livermore and another student had fallen in love, only to discover that both of their families of origin were opposed to any such union. During the War of 1812 (for convenience I have situated the record in this year, since this was toward the end of the war’s fighting), this young man was killed. Harriet would resolve not to marry, but to become a preacher. Cutting off her feminine tresses, she appeared in a mannish haircut. On four occasions under four presidents she would be allowed to lead the members of the US Congress in prayer in the chamber of the House of Representatives and address them for more than an hour about the great Apocalypse that was sure to come soon. MILLENNIALISM LIFE IS LIVED FORWARD BUT UNDERSTOOD BACKWARD? — NO, THAT’S GIVING TOO MUCH TO THE HISTORIAN’S STORIES.

INDEX HARRIET LIVERMORE HARRIET LIVERMORE 1827 January 14, Sunday: On one Sunday morning during this month, perhaps on this particular Sunday or perhaps not, Harriet Livermore was allowed to address the US House of Representatives from the Speaker’s Chair on the text “He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.” Present for this address, sitting on the steps leading up to the Speaker’s Chair because he was unable to find any empty seat, was President John Quincy Adams. In the audience, many wept.1 Friend Stephen Wanton Gould wrote in his journal: 1st day 14th of 1 M / Our meetings were incommonly solid good ones In the morning Father Rodman & in the Afternoon Hannah Dennis preached. — John took tea at his Uncle Johns & we at home.

INDEX HARRIET LIVERMORE HARRIET LIVERMORE 1832 November 26, Monday: Public streetcar service began in New-York (drawn of course by horses). The fare would be 12½ cents. Harriet Livermore considered the native American tribes to be the Lost Tribes of Israel. With the intention of leading them back to Palestine and thus producing the long-awaited Apocalypse, she ventured into the Arkansas River within the Kansas territory on this day aboard the steamboat Volant, Captain Charles Kelley: My theory “wild” I shall repeat, Thus named by some of you, That quickly the Shiloh’s sacred feet, Will stand upon Olivet’s mount elect; And his ancient tribes review, Yea, “Juda’s Lion is a thief” will come, And the earth’s disordered fabric overturn, Renew it, Eden to millennial bloom. This lady evangelist would soon find herself being summarily escorted back to civilization by officials of the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs. DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? GOOD.

The Reverend Joseph Wolff announced that it had indeed happened, and that Christ was indeed in charge of the earth — it was merely that He was ruling in glory invisibly (from Heaven, through His influence on men’s hearts). John Humphrey Noyes proclaimed that the Spirit of Jesus Christ, which had had its Second Coming to the earth within a generation after the crucifixion of Jesus, had passed into his society in Putney, Vermont. “Lie down, I need to for you to worship with me.” The hostility of the community at the society’s practice of multiple marriage (all male members married to all female members) caused the group to relocate to Oneida in central New York, in Madison County on Oneida Creek near Oneida Lake.

HDT WHAT? INDEX HARRIET LIVERMORE HARRIET LIVERMORE The sun that brief December day A smooth white mound the brush-pile showed, Rose cheerless over hills of gray, A fencelesss drift what once was road; And, darkly circled, gave the noon The bridle-post an old man sat A sadder light than waning moon. With loose-flung coat and high cocked hat; Slow tracing down the thickening sky The well-curb had a Chinese roof; Its mute and ominous prophecy, And even the long sweep, high aloof, A portent seeming less than threat, In its slant splendor, seemed to tell It sank from sight before it set. Of Pisa’s leaning miracle. A chill no coat, however stout, A prompt, decisive man, no breath Of homespun stuff could quite shut out, Our father wasted: “Boys, a path!” A hard, dull bitterness of cold, Well pleased, (for when did farmer boy That checked, mid-vein, the circling race Count such a summons less than joy?) Of life-blood in the sharpened face, The coming of the snow-storm told. Our buskins on our feet we drew; With mittened hands, and caps drawn low, The wind blew east: we heard the roar To guard our necks and ears from snow, Of Ocean on his wintry shore, We cut the solid whiteness through. And felt the strong pulse throbbing there Beat with low rhythm our inland air. And, where the drift was deepest, made A tunnel walled and overlaid Meanwhile we did our nightly chores,— With dazzling crystal: we had read Brought in the wood from out of doors, Of rare Aladdin’s wondrous cave, Littered the stalls, and from the mows And to our own his name we gave, Raked down the herd’s-grass for the cows; With many a wish the luck were ours To test his lamp’s supernal powers. Heard the horse whinnying for his corn; And, sharply clashing horn on horn, We reached the barn with merry din, Impatient down the stanchion rows And roused the prisoned brutes within. The cattle shake their walnut bows; The old horse thrust his long head out, And gave with wonder gazed about; While, peering from his early perch Upon the scaffold’s pole of birch, The cock his lusty greeting said, The cock his crested helmet bent And forth his speckled harem led; And down his querulous challenge sent. The oxen lashed their tails, and hooked, The hornéd patriarch of the sheep, Unwarmed by any sunlight Like Egypt’s Amun roused from sleep, The gray day darkened into night, Shook his sage head with gesture mute, A night made hoary with the swarm And emphasized with stamp of foot. And whirl-dance of the blinding storm, As zig-zag wavering to and fro All day the gusty north-wind bore Crossed and recrossed the wingéd snow: The loosening drift its breath before; Low circling round its southern zone, And ere the early bed-time came The sun through dazzling snow-mist shone. The white drift piled the window-frame, And through the glass the clothes-line posts No church-bell lent its Christian tone Looked in like tall and sheeted ghosts.

  • Female Preaching in Early Nineteenth-Century America by Catherine A
    20 Copyright 2009 The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University Female Preaching in Early Nineteenth-Century America BY CATHERINE A. BREKUS In the Second Great Awakening more than one hundred women crisscrossed the country as itinerant preachers, holding meetings in barns, schools, or outside in fields. They were the first group of women to speak publicly in America. Why have virtually all of them been forgotten? ome argued that she was “bold and shameless,” a disgrace to her fami- ly and to the evangelical movement. Others insisted that she was the S“instrument of God,” a humble woman who had given up everything for Christ. Few women in early nineteenth-century America provoked more admi- ration, criticism, and controversy than Harriet Livermore. She was the daughter of a congressman and the grand-daughter of a senator, but after an emotional conversion experience, she renounced her privileged life in order to become a female preacher. Reputed to be a gifted evangelist who was also a beautiful singer, she became so popular that she was allowed to preach in front of Congress four times between 1827 and 1844, each time to huge crowds. According to a Washington newspaper, more than a thousand people assembled in the Hall of Representatives to hear her preach in 1827, and hundreds more gathered outside to catch a glimpse of her. President John Quincy Adams had to sit on the steps leading up to her feet because he could not find a free chair. Harriet Livermore was the best-known female preacher of her day, but she was part of a larger community of evangelical women, both white and African-American, who claimed to have been divinely inspired to preach Female Preaching in Early Nineteenth-Century America 21 the gospel.

  • Defending the 2520
    Defending the 2520 “The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us. Those who have step by step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to worldly customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death. The contest is between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. In this time the gold will be separated from the dross in the church. True godliness will be clearly distinguished from the appearance and tinsel of it. Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy will then go out in darkness. Chaff like a cloud will be borne away on the wind, even from places where we see only floors of rich wheat. All who assume the ornaments of the sanctuary, but are not clothed with Christ's righteousness, will appear in the shame of their own nakedness.” Testimonies to the Church, vol. 5 page 81 The above warning should weigh heavily on our minds during these final hours we spend here on this earth. We are called over and over again, in the Bible and the inspired writings of Ellen G. White, to study the word of God for ourselves but sadly we live in a world of ease and entertainment and little time is devoted to personal study. “We are to receive the word of God as supreme authority. We must accept its truths for ourselves, as our own individual act.

  • Psychotherapy with Seventh-Day Adventists
    PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH SEVENTH0DAY ADVENTISTS CAROLE A. RAYBURN The world, though fallen, is not all sorrow and misery. In nature itself are messages of hope and comfort. There are flowers upon the thistles, and the thorns are covered with roses. -Ellen G. White The Seventh-day Adventist Church dates from the Millerite move- ment of the mid-1800s. Conservative on most matters of morality and ethics, it is one of the few Christian denominations to have begun in North America. Also, it is one of the few denominations to have a woman as one of its founders. With its belief in the Protestant tradition, Seventh- day Adventism has conservative standards and practices concerning dress, dietary habits, abstinence from sex outside marriage, smoking and drinking alcohol, and in selection of certain types of entertainment. The 1998 Yearbook published by the General Conference of Seventh- day Adventists notes that the worldwide membership of the Church is 9,470,718 people and 4,682 churches. With 865,187 members in North America, the largest concentration of Seventh-day Adventists (SDAs) is in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Hawaii. The second largest con- centration is in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, and the third largest in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Ohio. A smaller number of SDAs reside in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, and Bermuda (General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, 1998). 21 1 The world conference of Seventh-day Adventists, the General Con- ference, is in Silver Spring, Maryland. The General Conference president meets with and advises church leaders from the 12 divisions of the Church (such as the North American Division), unions (made up of conferences or fields within a larger territory), and local conferences (comprised of churches within various cities).

Professor of Church History Campbellsville University From the turn of the nineteenth century to the dawn of the Civil War there were perhaps as many as one hundred women who served as preachers and evangelists throughout the United States.1 The majority of these ministers served in smaller denominations such as Free Will Baptists, Quakers,the Christian Connection Church,2and other less established denominations. Primarily, these women came from the lower classes, had little education, spoke in country churches to small audiences, and were rarely flamboyant. To appear more acceptable, most of these women were married andrarely travelled alone. For these reasons, scant records exist concerning their accomplishments and scholarship has only briefly discussed them. Though scholars have written little about her, Harriet Livermore was the exception to many of these norms. Harriet Livermore was born on April 14, 1788, in Concord, New Hampshire, to the Honorable Edward St. Loe Livermore and Mehitable Harris.3Prominent in both state and national politics, the Livermore family were New England blue bloods. Her father served as the U.S. District Attorney in the presidency of George Washington(1794-1797), Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court (1797-1799), and as United States senator from 1807 to 1811.4In 1802 he moved to Newburyport, Massachusetts, where he served as their representative to Congress from 1807 to 1811.

  • William Sears, Thief in the Night
    Thief in the Night or The Strange Case of the Missing Millennium by William Sears George Ronald Oxford, England First edition 1961 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burnt up.” II Peter 3:10 The Problem. In the first half of the nineteenth century, there was world- wide and fervent expectation that during the 1840’s the return of Christ would take place. The story made the headlines and even reached the Congress of the United States. From China and the Middle East to Europe and America, men of conflicting ideas shared in the expectancy. Scoffers were many but the enthusiasm was tremendous, and all agreed on the time. Why? And what became of the story? Did anything happen or was it all a dream? The Solution. Patiently, and with exemplary thoroughness, William Sears set out to solve this mystery. In Thief in the Night he presents his fully detailed “conduct of the case” in an easy style which enthuses the reader with the excitement of the chase. The solution to which all the clues lead comes as a tremendous challenge. This is a mystery story with a difference: the mystery is a real one, and of vital importance to every human being. The author presents the evidence in The case of the missing millennium in such a way that you can solve it for yourself.

  • Hybridity in Nineteenth-Century Women’S Defenses of Women’S Preaching
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: A GENRE OF DEFENSE: HYBRIDITY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY WOMEN’S DEFENSES OF WOMEN’S PREACHING. Lisa Dawn Zimmerelli, Ph.D., 2009 Directed By: Professor Jane Donawerth, English This dissertation explores how nineteenth-century Protestant women negotiated genre in order to manage more effectively the controversial rhetorical project of defending women’s right to preach. After providing a comprehensive overview of the debate of women’s preaching in America, this project presents a genre study of a subset of these defenses: those women who do not adhere strictly to their “home” genres, but rather demonstrate a range of generic blending and manipulation in their defenses of women’s preaching. This study further reads religion as an integral identity category that was the seat for other activist rhetorics; by extension, then, women’s defenses of women’s preaching is an important site of activism and rhetorical discourse. Foote, Willard, and Woosley are rhetoricians and theologians; the hybrid form of their books provides them with a textual space for the intersections of their rhetoric and theology. This study examines three books within the tradition of defenses of women’s preaching—Julia Foote’s A Brand Plucked from the Fire (1879), Frances Willard’s Woman in the Pulpit (1888), and Louisa Woosley’s Shall Woman Preach? (1891)—as representative of the journey a genre takes from early adaptation to solidification, what Carolyn Miller calls “typified rhetorical action” (151) and as the containers for an egalitarian theology. Foote adapts the genre of spiritual autobiography to include the oral and textual discourses of letters, sermons, and hymn in order to present her holiness theology.
