William Miller.

By Editor

THE position of Seventh-day Adventists relative to the past advent movement, and William Miller's connection with that movement, make it highly proper that we should at this stage of the work publish his life and views to the world, that the public may see him, his scriptural views, his faithful labors, and his godly life, in a true light.

We, therefore, design to give sketches of his life and writings in each number of Volume 41 of the REVIEW AND HERALD. Any facts, from any source, relative to his life, and any important articles from his pen, in papers, books, and in manuscript, not given in his Memoir, will be very thankfully received.

Our sacred regard for the work of God in the past second advent movement, and the love we cherish for the memory of the man whom God used in instituting that movement, will make our task of doing him justice before the people a very pleasant one.

We do not say that Wm. Miller was a Seventh-day Adventist. His faithful labors were closed by his decease before our specific message had begun to be felt, and to command especial attention. God led him in the great second advent question, to accomplish a specific work. The discussion of the immortality and Sabbath questions was evidently left for others.

Address, Eld. James White, San Francisco, Cal., 940 Howard Street.
