There is a See also:body of Seventh See also:Day Adventists who observe the old See also:Sabbath (Saturday) rather than the See also:Christian See also:Sunday. They counsel abstemious habits, but set no See also:time for the coming of Christ, and so are spared the perpetual disappointments that overtake the See also:ordinary adventist. They have some 400 ministers and 6o,000 members.
