The Call of the Hour

By R. C. PORTER

Brief Messages From Conference Presidents

A Call to Consecration

THE week of prayer should be a week of such unreserved consecration to the work of God's closing message as this people has never before made. It is the only reasonable thing we can do. All that we have looked for in the light of prophecy is meeting us at every step of our advance. Not one thing has failed of all that God has spoken.

Some are laying all upon the altar of service, and devoting themselves to selling books, papers, tracts, or to house-to-house work; others are increasing their offerings to home and foreign missions; yet we are forced to admit that some are being overcome with the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of the flesh. Unless all now working shall quicken their pace, and those following the spirit of the world are awakened, the week of prayer will not accomplish its purpose this season. All worldliness and indifference must be put away, and we must keep step with the advancing hosts of the Lord in their homeward march if we hope to triumph with the message.

R. C. PORTER, of Missouri.
