The Watchman and the Coming Morning
By Editor
YESTERDAY, the 7th inst., was a profitable and interesting season to the church in Battle Creek. Not to enter into an extensive notice of the meeting, for which we have not space this week, we will just mention that which will be of special interest to brethren abroad, namely, that Bro. White favored us with remarks of about three-quarters of an hour in length, on Isa. xxi, 11, 12: "Watchman, what of the night?" And "the watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night." In a forcible manner he set forth the duty and course of the true watchman on the walls of Zion, and the position of those who have the interest of the cause at heart, in contrast with those to whom the truth and its progress is but a secondary matter; dwelling also upon the dark night in which the present truth commenced, and the difficulties against which it has struggled, up to the present time, and the glorious morning of triumph and victory that awaits it and the people of God just in the future. Sister White followed with remarks full, as usual, of earnest exhortation for a higher standard in the divine life. Those who have been hoping for a visit from Bro. and sister White, will be glad to see that they are beginning to get out again, as indicated in the appointment in this number for Windsor.
