Adventists,
Also known as Millerites, a sect in the United States founded by William Miller, who believed that the second coming of Christ would occur in October, 1843.
As the expected event did not occur on the first nor succeeding days set for it. the number of believers decreased very largely.
The Adventists of to-day still look for the coming of Christ, but do not fix a definite time for it. In 1900 the Adventists were divided into six bodies: Evangelical, Advent Christians, Seventh-Day, Church of God, Life and Advent Union, and Churches of God in Jesus Christ, and together reportedly 1,491 minister, 2,267 churches, and 89,482 communicants.
