1919 Russellites predict "Millennium" Kingdom......
Item # 719295
June 02, 1919
THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 2, 1919
* Russellites and the "Millennium" Kingdom ?
* Alexander Hugh MacMillan - Bible Students
* Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society member
* Future pioneer of the Jehovah's Witnesses
Page 20 has a somewhat discrete report with small one column headings: "New Date For Millennium" "Russellites Now See It Coming on Earth in 1925" (see image) As part of Macmillan's wikipedia page, the discrete report in the New York Times is mentioned in his biography. Because of this, I believe this is the only publication to report this. I suspect this to be a very rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with 32 pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, irregular along the spine, generally in nice condition.
wikipedia notes: Alexander Hugh Macmillan, also referred to as A. H. Macmillan, was an important member of the Bible Students, and later, of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He became a board member of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in 1917 and again in 1920.
In 1919, The New York Times characterized Macmillan's address to a meeting of Bible Students as proposing a "new date for the Millennium" in the year 1925.
