The Sixtieth Anniversary of 1844
NEXT Sabbath, October 22, is the sixtieth anniversary of the passing of the time on the tenth day of the seventh month in 1844. There are many still living who vividly remember the experiences of that period, and who can testify that they were sweet at the first, but bitter at the end. The work of prophesying again “before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings” is now being carried forward; and when this work is completed, the waiting and working ones will realize the consummation of all that was expected sixty years ago,—“the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” “Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward. . . . For yet a very little while, he that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.”
