Not Alone in the Work

SINCE the close of the General Conference Committee Council, our brethren have scattered again to their various fields of labor, there to engage anew in the carrying forward of this great movement. What a great work indeed this has come to be! It extends into every quarter of the globe; in practically every country are men and women who have devoted their lives to its prosecution. What a concert of united effort the world round! What a chorus of prayer and song arises daily from the hosts of Israel! There is inspiration in the thought. Though alone in heathen wilds, though living in isolation far removed from other Sabbath-keepers, we are not alone. We belong to a company of devoted men and women who stand shoulder to shoulder in this work. We are not alone, because God is with us wherever we are. He has said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, . . . and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” The mighty hosts of God are with us in his work. Could our eyes be opened, we should see angels of heaven ministering to our need. Let the thought of this blessed association of both the human and the divine cheer our hearts. Soon the work will be finished, the victory will be won, and the children of God will gather with rejoicing in the glad home-coming. And this time is but a little way before us. “For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.”
