    Periodicals

    (In Chronological Order)

    The Present Truth.EGWC 689.1

    First periodical published by Seventh-day Adventists. The first volume, of eleven eight-page numbers, was published between July, 1849, and November, 1850. Dates and places of publication are as follows: No. 1, Middletown, Conn., July, 1849 No. 2, Middletown, Conn., August, 1849 No. 3, Middletown, Conn., August, 1849 No. 4, Middletown, Conn., September, 1849 No. 5, Oswego, N.

Y., May, 1850, No. 11, Paris, Me., November, 1850.EGWC 689.2

    It is devoted largely to an exposition and a defense of the Sabbath. Its notes and news items have value to the historian. Republished in photographic facsimile, with The Advent Review, by the Review and Herald, Washington, D.C., in a bound book entitled Facsimile Reproductions of the Present Truth and the Advent Review (1946), prefaced with a four-page statement entitled “Historical Setting of These Documents.”EGWC 689.3

    The Advent Review.EGWC 689.4

    Not to be confused with The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald. The title, The Advent Review, describes:EGWC 689.5

    (1) a publication consisting of five numbers: Vol. 1, Nos. 1, 2, August, 1850; Nos. 3, 4, September, 1850; No. 5, November, 1850. The first four (16 pages each) were published in Auburn, New York, the fifth (8 pages), was published in Paris, Maine. The purpose of the publication, as set forth in No. 1, was “to cheer and refresh the true believer, by showing the fulfilment of Prophecy in the past wonderful work of God, in calling out, and separating from the world and nominal church, a people who are looking for the second advent of the dear Saviour.” Many extracts from Millerite leaders were printed, partly to prove to other Millerites that this Sabbathkeeping group were the ones truly keeping the “original faith.” The following are listed as “Publishing Committee“: Hiram Edson, David Arnold, Geo. W. Holt, Samuel W. Rhodes, and James White.EGWC 689.6

    (2) a 16-page Extra, carrying the same main head, The Advent Review, consisting of one article by Hiram Edson. The only date line, “Port Gibson, N. Y. Sept. 1850,“ is at the close, accompanying the author’s name. The subject largely consists of questions in controversy between first-day and Sabbathkeeping Adventists.EGWC 689.7

    (3) a 48-page reprint of leading articles that had appeared in the first four numbers of the Advent Review. The same “Publishing Committee” that sponsored Nos. 1 to 5 sponsored this. The only date given is “1850” on the cover page.EGWC 689.8

    See under The Present Truth regarding facsimile reproduction.EGWC 689.9

    The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald.EGWC 689.10

    General church paper of Seventh-day Adventists. Vol. 1, No. 1, carries the date line “Paris, Me., November, 1850.” The first title was Second Advent Review, and Sabbath Herald, but beginning with volume 2, August 5, 1851, the opening word Second was dropped off. It is rather generally called, simply, Review and Herald. It was first published monthly, then semi-monthly, with some irregularity, and later weekly. The first issue contained this editorial note: “The REVIEW and HERALD is designed to be strictly confined to those important truths that belong to the present time. We hope to be able to send you this enlarged size of the paper quite often, containing a simple and clear exposition of those great and sanctifying truths embraced in the message of the third angel, viz: the ‘commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.’ “—Page 7. “This enlarged size of the paper,” refers certainly to Present Truth, and probably was intended to include also the Advent Review.EGWC 689.11

    The Health Reformer.EGWC 690.1

    First health periodical published by Seventh-day Adventists. Vol. 1, No. 1 was dated “Battle Creek, Mich., August, 1866.” It was a monthly. Early volumes carried the display line: “Published monthly at the Western Health-Reform Institute.” This was the original name of the Battle Creek Sanitarium. With Vol. 14, No. 1, Jan., 1879, the name was changed to Good Health. The explanation was: “People are afraid of reforms. They are willing to be improved, to be educated, to have errors pointed out and new truths brought to their notice; but to be reformed, they are not so desirous.”—The Health Reformer, December, 1878, p. 380.EGWC 690.2

    The Signs of the Times.EGWC 690.3

    A weekly doctrinal, evangelizing journal founded by James White at Oakland, California, in 1874. After the first few issues he turned it over to the California Conference, and the next year the publishing house was established as the Pacific Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association (now the Pacific Press Publishing Association), which has issued the Signs ever since.EGWC 690.4

    General Conference Daily Bulletin.EGWC 690.5

    A special paper published, generally daily, during a session of the General Conference, giving proceedings, addresses, etc. Sometimes the word Daily is not used in the title. Issued first in 1887.EGWC 690.6
