Chile

By F. H. Westphal

The following letter was recently received from a brother who has been employed as an attorney for some time. He has been in the truth for several years. He says:—

“With much pleasure I write to you that I have decided to give up my employment, and to consecrate myself to the work of the Lord. I have suffered much in the past because I have not been able to liberate myself from earthly business; but I have resolved to retire from my employment, and after that shall sell my properties, with the help of the Lord. Therefore, I ask you to pray for me that the Lord may admit me as one of the eleventh-hour servants into his vineyard. At the end of March I think that I shall be ready for work.”

A few weeks ago I read in one of Sister White’s articles that men would give up their employment as farmers, merchants, etc., and enter the work of the Lord. It seems to me that the above letter shows that the time has arrived when what was written is coming to

pass. Nevertheless, we shall see it fulfilled to a greater extent, no doubt, in the future. The latter rain will surely fall, and God’s work will be rapidly completed in the earth. We ought to be able to read the signs of the times in the events that are taking place in the earth.
