“NEVER in the history of the pulpit,” says the Atlanta Daily Journal. “Has there been a greater call for a preacher with a message. He that can satisfy human heart hunger with spiritual bread, and spiritual thirst with the water of life, need not hesitate nor fear to preach. The crowds will flock to him.”

More and more is it becoming true as time goes on that the only spiritual bread and water for a perishing world is the message which brings to view them that “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” More and more is the chaff of fables and speculation being fed to the people by their religious teachers; but he who preaches the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus is most emphatically a preacher with a message. Never went a greater or more definite message to the world since time began. Upon those who know this truth rests the responsibility of standing between a lost world and its doom. “Arise, shine; for thy light is come.”
