Who interrupted the Exeter Camp Meeting where Bates was preaching?

• A. William Miller
• B. S. S. Snow
• C. Josiah Litch
• D. Charles Fitch

Answer: (B)

Controversy and public challenge at Millerite camp meetings show how ideas about dates and prophecy were debated out loud. At Exeter, Samuel S. Snow interrupted Bates as Bates preached, stepping onto the platform to dispute the interpretation and the timeline Bates presented about the approaching Second Coming. Snow was a bold voice within the movement who pressed a different chronology, and that interruption highlights how these heated exchanges helped shape the direction of early Adventism.
