Our Denominational Paper

By L. L. C.

The greatest proof of the nearness of our Lord and Saviour is the advance of the gospel of the kingdom throughout the whole world. “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” What the Lord is doing in these days is truly remarkable; Elder Daniells, in relating his experiences in the different lands, tells of the eagerness with which some of our older members inquire of him how the gospel message is going, and what are the evidences that the work is soon to be finished. As our president tells them what he has seen of God’s providences in his extended tours in various fields, eyes fill with tears, and the assurance strengthens that God is going before his people, and that the work is about to be finished and his people gathered home.

All may not have the privilege of hearing one of Elder Daniells’s heart-inspiring mission sermons, but all may have the privilege of following the advance of our work as reported from week to week in our denominational paper, the Review, and Herald. One will be surprised at the variety and amount of these evidences contained even in a single issue. For example, the issue for July 8 contains a report of the work in Manchuria, by Elder Daniells; a tour in the Philippines, by Elder Fulton, president of the Australasian Union; reports by the president of the West Russian Union, by the superintendents of the missions on the Cook Islands and in Basutoland, South Africa; a visit to the Zulu Mission, by Elder Spicer; besides articles on Malaysia, the colporteur work in the Philippines, and traveling in China. Turning to the home field, we find a report by the president of West Pennsylvania, reports of camp meetings in Southern Idaho, Southern Oregon, and South Texas. Another article tells of the organization of a church at Mott, N. Dak., while still another tells of the interest in foreign missions among the students at Pacific Union College. In addition to these, there are the general articles, the editorials, and the many short news items and announcements. All this was contained in only one issue. Surely no Adventist can afford to be without this weekly information concerning the advance of the work of God in the earth. L. L. C.
