Excerpt: ... command of the Lord to his confiding and disappointed people, at this particular point of the Second-advent movement, was to Wait." Midnight Cry--First Angel's Message--The Ten Virgins--Second Disappointment--Three Angel's Messages-- The Sabbath--Progress of the Work--Conclusion. The first work of the Advent body in their disappointment was to re-examine the 2300 days of Daniel's vision. But they were unable to discover any error in their calculation. It was still evident and clear that it required every day of 457 years before Christ, and also every day of 1843 years after Christ to complete the 2300 years of the vision, on which the Advent movement started from 1840. It was also clear that the year must correspond and terminate with the Jewish sacred year. At this important crisis, the "Advent Shield," was published, reviewing all the past movement, especially the prophetic periods, showing that we had followed them down correctly. We quote from Vol. i, No. 1, p. 87. " Wc look upon the proclamation which has been made, as being the cry of the angel who proclaimed, ' The hour of his judgment is come.' (Rev. xiv, 6, 7.) It is the sound which is to reach all nations; it is the proclamation of the everlasting gospel. In one shape or other this cry has gone abroad through the earth, wherever human beings are found, and we have had opportunity to hear of the fact." "Joseph Wolfe, D. D., according to his journals, between the years 1821 and 1845, proclaimed the Lord's speedy advent, in Palestine, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Georgia, throughout the Ottoman empire, in Greece, Arabia, Turkistan, HindoStan, in Holland, Scotland and Ireland, at Constantinople, Jerusalem, St. Helena, and in New York city to all denominations," &c, &c.-- Voice of the Church, pp. 3... ...more

This is an excellent life story of an American sea captain in the early 1800s who was captured and imprisoned on a ship by the British navy, later made his fortune, discovered the Millerite movement and the truth in the Bible, including the connection between Creation week and the seventh-day Sabbath, and ended up being one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It's an awesome adventure/conversion story.
