Thought for February 1

[Thompson, Darryl]

     As the light and life of men was rejected by the ecclesiastical
authorities in the days of Christ, so it has been rejected in every
succeeding generation. Again and again the history of Christ's
withdrawal from Judea has been repeated.... In our day few of the
professed followers of the Reformers are actuated by their spirit. Few
are listening for the voice of God, and ready to accept truth in
whatever guise it may be presented. Desire of Ages, p. 232
