People's Pulpit v 2 no. 1 has two sermons by Russell, Gathering the Lord's Jewels and Thrust in Thy Sickle. These are followed by an attack on 7th Day Adventism. There are no photos. -

When Did Higher Education Become Taboo?
by Wild_Thing ini have been reading about the early history of russelites/jws and in the beginning, it seems the organization was formed and headed by quite a few educated people.
lawyers, doctors, businessman.
you could buy voting rights within the organization for $1000, which by today's standard would be somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000, something most of us do not have on hand, unless you are highly educated and/or wealthy.

After 1884 a cumulative ten dollar (not $1000) donation gave you one share. You had to ask for it. Few voted it.
Anti-intellectualism stems from the Russell era. Russell drew educated people to himself, but the Watch Tower was filled with statements against a false education that spawned an anti-Bible stance. Most of this was directed at Clergy. And, if you read late 19th Century religious matter, you might find some justification for this. The clergy were a sorry, self-entitled bunch.
Anti-Intellectualism developed more fully under Rutherford. It is a way to minimize contrary belief.

Russell's religious 'home' from 1870 to 1876 was within Age to Come belief. He read The Restitution and continued to do so long after starting his own paper. When The Object and Manner of Our Lord's Return was published in 1877 he turned to The Restitution and to The Prophetic Times to help circulate it. They were not Adventist publications. Adventists hated The Restitution.
Some point to his association with G. Stetson as proof he took up Adventism. This is shallow research. Stetson wrote about his adoption of Age to Come belief. By the time Russell met him Stetson was writing for The Restitution and for a British journal, The Rainbow. His congregation in Edinboro, PA was a mixture of both. But when they had a church conference in 1875, it was only advertised in The Restitution.
People are easily swayed by what they read on the internet. Above someone cut and pasted the wickipedia article on Barbour. That article was almost entirely written by R. M. de Vienne. Dr. de Vienne will tell you, and does in Separate Identity, that Russell was never an Adventist.
