Edit Profile
Career
He was one of nine children. Solomon joined the Methodists, after which he reported having a visionary experience. Solomon recalled in 1858: "the Lord showed me in a vision, that there were no people on the earth that were right, and that faith was gone from the earth, excepting a few and that all churches were corrupt.
I further saw in vision, that he would soon raise up a church, that would be after the Apostolic Order, that there would be in it the same powers, and gifts that were in the days of Christ, and that I should live to see the day, and that there would a book come forth, like unto the Bible and the people would guided by it, as well as the Bible."
Chamberlain died in 1862.
