Sparks From the General Conference

The Key-note: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, . . . and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
Mrs. E. G. White: “Here is the Word, my brethren [holding up the Bible]. Open this Word to your children; present it in your schools; present it, I beseech you, wherever you are; and live by the Word of God. Here is life; here is salvation.”
From a Far Country: “The message is onward here,” wrote Elder R. C. Porter to the Conference from South Africa. “We have no discouraging word to offer regarding the outlook for the future. . . . Our difficulties are varied and great. But God is greater than our difficulties. In his strength we are able to go up at once and possess the land.”
“Before Many Peoples, . . . and Kings:”
One paragraph of Elder L. R. Conradi’s report for Europe reminds us of the commission in Rev. 10:11: “Not only has the truth reached thousands of honest believers in the middle and common classes,” he said, “but some of the nobility have taken a stand with us, and others are interested. It may be of interest to know that the dowager empress of Russia and the queen of Denmark have registered their names at the Skodsborg Sanitarium, and that the queen of one of the European countries has offered to write a preface to the ‘Ministry of Healing’ if we will publish it in her language, to help in establishing a sanitarium there. Other royal personages have bought a number of our publications from our faithful canvassers, or have accepted them as tokens of kindness. Thus to-day the message reaches the high and the low, the rich and the poor, the university professor and the peasant, the heathen in his blindness, the unbeliever, the Mohammedan, the Jew, the Roman, and the Greek Catholic, and the various sects of Protestants.”
S. N. Haskell: “Elder J. N. Andrews used to come to me when I began to preach as a young man, and put his hand on my head occasionally, and say, ‘Remember this, young man: God will never allow the third angel’s message to go out at the back door. There will be a triumph to this truth such as you have never seen.’ It is not by might, nor by power, but by God’s Spirit, that this will be accomplished.”
