God's Work is Finished

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matt. 24:14. 


The solemn, sacred message of warning must be proclaimed in the most
difficult fields and in the most sinful cities, in every place where the
light of the great threefold gospel message has not yet dawned. Every
one is to hear the last call to the marriage supper of the Lamb. From
town to town, from city to city, from country to country, the message of
present truth is to be proclaimed, not with outward display, but in the
power of the Spirit. 

The message of the renewing power of God's grace will be carried to
every country and clime, until the truth shall belt the world. Of the
number of them that shall be sealed will be those who have come from
every nation and kindred and tongue and people. From every country will
be gathered men and women who will stand before the throne of God and
before the Lamb, crying, "Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb." Revelation 7:10. 

The whole earth is to be illuminated with the glory of God's truth. The
light is to shine to all lands and all peoples. And it is from those who
have received the light that it is to shine forth. The daystar has risen
upon us, and we are to flash its light upon the pathway of those in
darkness. 

A crisis is right upon us. We must now by the Holy Spirit's power
proclaim the great truths for these last days. It will not be long
before everyone will have heard the warning and made his decision. Then
shall the end come. 

The truth contained in the first, second, and third angel's messages
must go to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people; it must lighten
the darkness of every continent, and extend to the islands of the sea.
There must be no delay in this work. 

Our watchword is to be, Onward, ever onward! Angels of heaven will go
before us to prepare the way. Our burden for the regions beyond can
never be laid down till the whole earth is lightened with the glory of
the Lord.
