1889 · p.170 · C. T. Russell · Tower Publishing Co. / Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society
“The next chapter will present Bible evidence that 1874 A. D. was the exact date of the beginning of the “Times of Restitution,” and hence of our Lord's return.”
Follows the statement that the Gentile Times end in 1914; the running head 'Manner of the Second Advent. 171' follows the sentence, placing it on p. 170.

“Since he has been present from 1874, it follows, from the facts as we now see them, that the period from 1874 to 1914 is the day of preparation.”
Same issue also states 'Since 1874 the King of glory has been present; … Since 1914 the King of glory has taken his power and reigns.' The 15 Nov 1922 issue adds: 'According to all the Scriptural evidence, Jesus was due to make his second appearance in 1874.' (The sentence 'Jesus was due to make his second appearance in 1874' is preceded in the OCR by a 1 December 1922 token, so its issue is not confirmed.)

1929 · pp.65-66 · J. F. Rutherford · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society
“The Scriptural proof is that the second presence of the Lord Jesus Christ began in 1874 A.D.”
The sentence runs across the p. 65/66 break ('This proof [66] is specifically set out in the booklet entitled Our Lord's Return'); the book's index lists 'Dates, 1874 A.D., 65'.
