TRANSLATION OF CHINESE MESSAGE ABOVE

The Seventh-day Adventist Church at Shanghai, China, assembled, send greeting—

To all our brethren and sisters scattered abroad in every part of the world.

At this time of the annual week of prayer, we wish to give our hearty testimony of courage and thanksgiving to God, who has led us out of darkness into his marvelous light, and has taught us to forsake ancient heathen customs, and prepared our hearts to receive the blessed light and truth of the third angel’s message. For these manifold mercies we can not but praise the Lord continually.

Our desire is that during this week of prayer we may see all our brethren and sisters of every land united as with one heart and one purpose, kneeling before the throne of Jehovah to beseech the Lord to cleanse us completely from every sin, and prepare us all, men and women, old and young, to become a pure and glorious church, without spot or wrinkle, ready to receive the outpouring of the latter rain, and be prepared and waiting for the soon-coming Saviour.

We ask all the brethren and sisters in all lands to pray for China’s millions, that when Christ comes, there may be many in this land of whom it will be said,—

“Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
