The Great Advent Movement

By Elder Loughborough

Not Simply a Revision of “Rise and Progress”

What the Author Himself Says About the Book

Elder Loughborough writes:—.
A brother at a large gathering of our people offered some copies of “Great Advent Movement” for sale, and was met with the statement, “We do not wish this book; we have ‘Rise and Progress,’ and this is simply a revision of the former work.”
It is true that in giving the facts concerning the first development of the Advent Movement, and the description of Sister White’s gift, the record is the same. I wish, however, to state:—
1. When I wrote “Rise and Progress,” I could find only the first of the seven volumes of the Midnight Cry; but before writing this book, I had access to the whole seven volumes, and culled from them many new facts.
2. While on my trips in the countries east of the Atlantic, during the years 1896, 1899, and 1900, I had opportunity to collect many additional facts concerning the movement in those countries, not contained in my former book.
3. In the other book the progress of the cause in our institutions, missions, etc., is traced by groups of years. In this book each one, as the publishing work, sanitarium work, school work, and missions, is given a separate chapter.
4. The consideration of the doctrine of the “shut door,” of which our opponents have made so much, is treated and refuted in Chapter XIV. This chapter alone is worth the price of the book to any who have to meet this charge against Sister White.
5. In this book there are traced twenty-two exact fulfilments of predictions made through Sister White. Two chapters, XXIV and XXVII, are devoted to a consideration of some of the most striking of these fulfilments.
Those who wish to keep up to date can not afford to be without “The Great Advent Movement.” It is profusely supplied with sub-headings, and there is a complete index of these in the back, so that at a glance you can locate the desired subject. Much of the space in “Rise and Progress” was taken up with cuts and illustrations; in “Great Advent Movement” this space has been given to reading-matter.
