William Miller
145
If Christ does come, where must they appear? and what a dreadful
account they will meet in that tremendous hour!”
It is the lot of God’s servants to suffer opposition and reproach
from their contemporaries. Now, as in the time of our Saviour, men
build the sepulchers and sound the praises of the dead prophets,
while they persecute the living messengers of the Most High. Wm.
Miller was despised and hated by the ungodly and unbelieving; but
his influence and his labors were a blessing to the world. Under his
preaching, thousands of sinners were converted, backsliders were
reclaimed, and multitudes were led to study the Scriptures and to
find in them a beauty and glory before unknown.
[222]
