About the author
Uriah Smith (May 3, 1832 – March 6, 1903) was a Seventh-day Adventist author, minister, educator, and theologian who is best known as the longest serving editor of the Review and Herald (now the Adventist Review) for over 50 years. Some of Smith's lesser-known contributions include his work as a poet, hymn writer, inventor, and engraver. He patented an idea for an early automobile, called Horsey Horseless, which had a fake horse head attached to the front, intended to stop horses from being frightened by the car. He also patented an artificial leg with a moveable ankle, a school desk with an improved folding seat and several other inventions and improvements. At the time of the formation of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in 1863, Smith was elected as the first secretary.
