Jonas Wendell
Elder Jonas Wendell (December 25, 1815 – August 14, 1873) of Edinboro, Pennsylvania, was a zealous Adventist preacher following in the spirit of William Miller. Following the "Great Disappointment" Wendell experienced periods of weak faith, as did many Adventists. He eventually recovered his faith after renewing his study of Bible chronology (historic and prophetic) and began to preach extensively throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, the Virginias, and New England By the late 1860s he had been studying the chronology of the Bible, and was encouraged by conclusions showing Christ's return would occur in either 1868 or 1873/4. In 1870 Wendell published his views in the booklet entitled ''The Present Truth, or Meat in Due Season'' concluding that the Second Advent was sure to occur in 1873. Unknown to him, attendance at one of his presentations restored Charles Taze Russell's faith in the Bible as the true word of God, leading to Russell's ministry.
=="A Clergyman in Difficulty"==
In 1871 the Associated Press circulated a story that Wendell had been arrested in Pennsylvania on the charge of "improper intimacy" with a 16-year-old girl.〔Utica Daily Observer, May 30, 1871 pg 3〕 No evidence of impropriety was ever produced, and Wendell publicly denied not only the charges, but that he had ever been arrested.〔New York Tribune, June 6, 1871 pg 5 col 2: "Sir: I have just had my attention called to an article, which appeared in 'The Tribune' of May 29, headed "A Clergyman in Difficulty." I pronounce the charge therein made false, and without any foundation in truth. Respectfully yours, J. Wendell. Erie, Penn., June 2, 1871〕
