Our Watchword

By Editor

It seems to be a fitting time to emphasize anew our watchword, “The Advent Message to All the World in This Generation.” We are in the last of the last days. The duration of the third angel’s message is limited to one generation, and that is now largely in the past, but it is nevertheless true that this message must be proclaimed “unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people.” The time in which to complete this work is now very short, and the logic of the situation demands a most vigorous mission policy. A revival of the original advent spirit, and a practical consideration of the great extent of unworked territory “in the regions beyond,” will certainly lead to the adoption of such measures as will take more money and more laborers from America in order to carry the message more rapidly to other lands. We shall be glad to share in the renewed hope and courage which this conference may awaken in the hearts of advent believers by sounding forth with a hearty voice the appropriate watchword, “The Advent Message to All the World in This Generation.”
