Life of William Miller.
By Editor
THERE is probably no class of people more free from "man-worship" than the Adventists of America. But we are exhorted to esteem certain ones highly for their works' sake. The memory of no other man is cherished by the whole body of Adventists with that high respect which is paid to the memory of William Miller. No one can read the record of his experience without being impressed with the conviction that he was the apostle of the work of God in the great advent movement, as Luther was the Reformation in the 16th century. There is no "Life of William Miller" which contains such a faithful biography of the man in his whole life as that one edited by Eld. James White, and published by the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association. Mr. Miller was faithful to his work, and, after the disappointment of 1844, while many were abandoning the old landmarks of prophecy, he held on to his faith, believing that the movement was in the order of God's providence, and that the disappointment, so far from proving that they had been deluded, would all be made clear in due time. How the explanation would be made he did not pretend to say, but he lived and died hoping that the light would dawn upon the pathway of God's waiting people. We live to see the harmony of the prophetic word in their disappointment. The rise of the Third Angel's Message proved that they were not wrong in proclaiming "the hour of His judgment is come." Rev. 14:6-12. This revived the hopes of the genuine Adventists even as the resurrection of Jesus revived the hopes of his disciples who had been cast down by his unexpected crucifixion. Every Adventist should read the book. It is given as a premium with the Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.; subscription for one year, with the book, only $2.25.
