Shall we have more Room at the Office.
By D. T. Bourdeau
Bro. White's recent article entitled, "The Seventh-Day Adventist Publishing Association," in which he suggests the propriety of raising means for the erection of another building of the size of the one already in use, meets my hearty approval, as it must also meet that of all those who are interested in the prosperity of the cause of the last message of mercy. The encouraging thought that the cause demands that there be such an addition to the building now in use in connection with the publishing interests, is sufficient to stimulate us to a hearty indorsement of Bro. White's proposal, both by word and deed. For the greater the agencies used in the work of spreading the truth, the sooner may we expect to see it accomplished, and to see the coming of the Just One. May we all hail this encouraging feature with joy and gratitude, and act accordingly, showing our appreciation of the truth, fervent love for God and man, and that we do really believe the Lord is near, and should improve our present opportunity of sacrificing for the truth and laying up treasures in Heaven. The great good that has already been accomplished with our publications is sufficient to show the necessity of not neglecting this important branch of the work. The errors of the past should only stimulate us to earnest efforts to redeem the past and push forward the work. When a man commences on a new farm, he builds according to his strength and the present demands in the case; but when his strength and income increases, he may be called upon to enlarge his buildings, or to pull down the old ones and build larger ones. And no one would think his course to be inconsistent. Now this is what is proposed to be done in spiritual things, with the exception however, that we do not have to tear down our old buildings. They hold good and will still be used. Only we want more room. Shall we have it? God speed on the work.
