Adventist Heritage Ministry

It is morally impossible for those who learn of these facts of Advent experience by hear-say to realize them in the same sense and intensity that those did who personally experienced them. We may believe the words … yet they are not as real as if we had seen them, and felt the emotions of the living actor.

Our great danger as a people is that we will not now share by faith the Advent spirit manifested then, and that we shall receive in its place a worldly, indifferent, careless spirit, which pervades all Christendom.

How much we would rejoice to see manifest among us more of the old Advent fire and intensity of interest seen in 1844. We want this experience revived in our midst. We want that spirit of sacrifice to give life and push to the work.

With the glorious theory of truth we possess, if this spirit was permeating the whole body we should soon hear the loud cry of the message in all directions. Right here is the element too much lacking.

We hope in some faint degree to give the readers of the Review some ideas of that interesting period.
