J. Ernest Monteith Papers

Content Description

While J. Ernest Monteith was a student at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary in 1947, he followed up an old interest in Seventh-day Adventist history. Hunting through old <title>Review and Heralds,</title> he tried to trace the development of Seventh-day Adventist work in Canada. In 1955 the Canadian Union Conference asked him to officially continue his research, collecting material for a history of the Adventist church in Canada. Responding, Monteith interviewed about 100 old-timers, and collected numerous letters, articles, photographs, and other items. This collection is Monteith's research of more than 20 years. The materials cover many aspects of Seventh-day Adventist Canadian Church history. This research resulted in the book, <title>The Lord is My Shepherd: A History of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada,</title> published by the Canadian Union Conference in 1983. See BX 6153.51 .M65 in the Center for Adventist Research.
