The Prophetic Number

The Straight Third Angel’s Message

The formation and the work of the beast and his image, as foretold in the prophecy, are fully set forth, and associated with the act of the United States Senate in passing the Johnston Sunday bill; and the general principles violated in all religious legislation are also considered.

The connection is clearly shown between the prophecies and the present work of this nation in repudiating its lamb-like principles, and preparing to assume the dragon nature.

Never before has Liberty placed before the public a clear statement of the prophecy, and applied it to the present efforts to secure enforced religious observances, and exposed Sunday-keeping as a mark of loyalty to a state religion. It clearly reveals the meaning of present movements, and definitely produces evidence which places the issue between the law of God and the commandments of men.

Many have pronounced this number the most important of any so far issued. Others have expressed their opinion of it in the following—

Good Words for Liberty

Liberty, No. 3, is before me. I have examined it, and am convinced that the magazine is moving in great lines. Plainness of speech is what we need to-day, and there is no doubt but greater good can be accomplished by teaching the message direct, presenting Revelation 12–14 in a most decided manner, than by simply using the magazine as a news carrier. The time is ripe for these most startling portions of scriptures to be presented, and made prominent in pulpit and press.—H. G. Thurston.

Liberty, No. 3, has reached my desk, and I embrace this my first opportunity to say to the editors that it is an output of literature which is most timely, and which will be sure to have a mighty influence for the cause of liberty wherever it is circulated.—E. K. Slade.

I have just examined a copy of Liberty, No. 3, and I will say that I consider it the best and most important issue to date. The idea of presenting the question of religious liberty from the standpoint of the Bible prophecy, appeals to me, and ought to appeal to every wide-awake Seventh-day Adventist. I shall certainly do all within my power to bring before the people of our conference the importance of circulating this number of Liberty.—W. H. Heckman.

I have examined the third number of Liberty, and am glad to see that it throws a strong search-light on the great struggle now on between liberty and her foes. This issue of Liberty portrays clearly the dangers of the present hour, and is truly an educator on that most important of subjects, religious liberty.—C. A. Hansen.

Liberty No. 3, has been received, and after a thorough examination I must say that it is the best number I have seen, and can well be considered a masterpiece on the subject of religious liberty. I wish we could put it in every home in our field. I will do all that I can to give it a wide circulation.—A. M. Neff.

I have received a sample copy of the new issue of Liberty, which I consider the very best magazine in the interests of civil and religious liberty. This copy, however, surpasses all preceding ones.”—Amos A. Mitchell.

I have carefully examined a copy of Liberty No. 3, and most heartily approve of the way it deals with the question of religious legislation. I, too, believe the time has come when we need not fear to present our arguments on this issue from a prophetic standpoint. This number should have a wide circulation.—H. H. Burkholder.

The magazine for the third quarter has come to hand, and I have given it a first reading. Words fail me when I think of the great need of the people of this nation for the principles contained in this gem of Liberty. You ask if we will co-operate in circulating one hundred thousand. A million of them would not suffice to stem the tide now setting in against American liberty; and who would say that our responsibility as custodians of such light would then be met? I am glad to see the two greatest evils in the world—falsehood in religion, and intemperance—so ably exposed. The two cartoons on pages 26 and 43 are, to my mind, the most eloquent captions possible for the logical articles contained in this number.—Walter E. Gillis.
