S.M.I Henry
Mrs. S. M. I. Henry (1839-1900) became a Seventh-day Adventist in the late summer of 1896 while a patient at Battle Creek Sanitarium, where she was recovering from a heart ailment. Before her contact with Adventism she had been a nationally known figure in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and after her recovery and baptism she continued this work, combining with it a plan for what she called, "woman ministry." Stressing the themes of temperance and the role of the mother in the moral education of society, she lectured before Adventist and non-Adventist groups throughout the United States and Canada. She also contributed many articles for the various publications of the church, as well as books and pamphlets.
