Our First Tract

By Editor

Editorial

Our First Tract. — The beginning of our publications was a tract on the Sabbath. In his “Great Second Advent Movement,” Elder J. N. Loughborough has told us how Capt. Joseph Bates, of Fairhaven, Mass., was led to study the Sabbath truth in 1845, and published the first tract upon it in 1846. There is a copy of this tract in the General Conference library, “The Seventh-day Sabbath, a Perpetual Sign, from the beginning, to the entering into the gates of the holy city, according to the commandment.” Its imprint is, “New Bedford, press of Benjamin Lindsey.”
