8
tive than the story of the rise and progress of the
-I
Seventh-day Adventist denomination. The work
done by this people, who started in a simple and
almost penniless way, shows the direct workings of
the Spirit of God.
Elder J. N. Loughborough, the author of "The
Great Advent Movement," was one of the first
Seventh-day Adventists. In addition to this, his
extensive travels and access to all the papers and
documents concerning the rise of this great move-
ment, make him well qualified to write a history
of this people.
In "The Great Advent Movement" a chapter is
devoted to each of the different lines of work at-
tempted by the denomination, such as the publish-
ing work, the sanitarium work, and the educational
work, showing the growth and development of each.
A section is also devoted to the spirit of prophecy,
answering many of the charges which have been made
against it, and showing the direct fulfilment of over
twenty predictions made by 'Mrs. White. .

THE NEW YEAR.
The new year is all before me,
'Tis a blank page clean and white.
Just what it holds in store for me
Is hidden from my sight.
But this I know, I need not mar
Nor soil the God-given page;
For he will guide aright my hand,
Who lives from age to age.
The past is gone beyond recall,
I can not live it o'er;
And yet I may redeem the time,
And serve him evermore.
O God, I will that thou shalt guide
My wayward feet this year;
That thou shalt choose my path for me,
My duty make quite clear.
I'd humbly walk with thee, my God,
Thy counsel I would take;
I'd learn of thee from day to day:
Thou makest no mistake.
— C. P. Bollnian.
PREFACE.
Tires is the twentieth issue of the denominational Year Book. The
careful reader will note some changes in this number, and will not fail
to observe the encouraging progress that has been made during 1910.
Among the changes that took place during the preceding year, the fol-
lowing may be specially mentioned: —
The organization of the Brazilian Union Conference, and the follow-
ing Union Missions: China, India, and Siberia, making a total of 233
conference and Mission divisions at present. as follows: Twenty-three
Union Conferences, four Union Missions, 110 local conferences, and
ninety-six mission fields,— an increase of three local conferences or-
ganized, and twenty-six mission fields entered, during 1910.
Five additional educational institutions have been established, ma-
king a total of ninety-one that are now teaching various grades from
eight to sixteen. The number of publishing houses is twenty-seven,
the same as for 1910. The number of sanitariums has been increased
by two, making a total of 81.
For the manning of the twenty-six new mission fields entered and
the reinforcing of other fields, sixty-one additional workers have entered
upon service in foreign fields during the year.
During 1910 publications have been issued in five new languages,
making the total number in which publications of all kinds are now
issued sixty-seven, as listed below. One hundred twenty-six periodicals
are now issued regularly, in twenty-eight languages, having a total of
1872 pages per issue, and a combined annual subscription price of $64.38.
For periodical literature alone this is an increase for the year of four
languages, 240 pages added per issue, and the combined subscription
price increased by $3.38.
Thus there has been an advance all along the line. At no point
has it been necessary to abandon a mission station, and sound a note
of retreat.
An encouraging illustration of the manner in which progress has
been realized is in connection with the organization of the work in
Siberia. Not many years ago brethren living in Russia were banished
to Siberia because of their faith. There they remained, living the truth;
and in later years others moved into the country, and now there has
been organized the Siberian Union Mission, with five local divisions,
and a total membership of over 650. From these places workers, with
courageous faith, are stretching out their hands to join the forces of
India and China in heralding the message to the recesses of the great
continent of Asia.
And the same is being done respecting Africa. The out-stations
being established there will erelong encircle great stretches of that vast
field of darkness and heathenism.
A feature of this issue is the omission of the maps of Union Confer-
ences and mission fields. This has been made necessary because of the
frequent changes in boundary lines, the establishment of new institu-
tions, and other like changes, so that the lines and indications of the
maps soon became obsolete.
An attempt has been made to harmonize the arrangement of the
local directories, as well as to abbreviate where consistent. Thus all
officers who may be addressed at the headquarters of each conference

or mission, are listed without their address being stated, with the idea
that the preceding general address may be readily supplied, and that
this method will facilitate reference better than where there is a con-
stant repetition of addresses.
