Preface
The advent movement in America was conceived by honest men who were willing to receive truth when it came to them. In sincerity they accepted and lived it, expecting in a short time to be translated. Following the great disappointment, all groped in darkness. From the midst of confusion there emerged three strong characters, two men and a woman. These, like Moses, Aaron, and Miriam of old, who led the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage, led God’s people out of the darkness of disappointment and despair into the light of abiding faith. These three-Joseph Bates, James White, and Ellen White-were soon joined by others, and together they labored amid poverty and hardship.FOME 9.1
In this volume it has been my purpose to present the inspirational incidents in the lives of these leaders and their associates without any attempt to discover their human weaknesses of foibles. I make no claim that the volume is a critical, scientific history, but have frankly attempted to produce a popular work which will inspire to nobler living and greater self-sacrifice the young people of this denomination, which the founders gave their all to establish.FOME 9.2
The sturdy characters who made history are waiting to re-enact the scenes of the past for you. Turn the page.FOME 10.1
