THE SEVENTH DAY

by Booton Herndon ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 11, 1960

A biography of a far less sybaritic institution than Bergderf's On The Plaza which this author wrote in 1956, this is the story of that little known, wide ranging Christian sect- the Seventh Day Adventists. Secure now and in the prospects before them once the word has been spread, they also enjoy better health (and certainly their dietary regimen is instrumental- no smoking-no drinking- coffee- tea- etc.), have more relaxation and recreation- if less money, and are dedicated to the service of peoples all over the world. This is the record of their missionary activities- and in addition to their religious program, their medical ministry treats three million overseas a year. This also traces the founders and foundations of the movement; their program of hygiene and healthful living; their program for relief and welfare; their schools and clubs and assorted institutions; and their continuous attempt to bring ""the gospel to the last man"" so that when this mission is fulfilled, ""the world will end, Christ will come again and the righteous shall live in happiness forever"".. An interesting movement has an interested and sympathetic handling here, and it is to be expected that its colporteurs will assist in bringing the book to the attention of all adherents.
