Dedicated to the Message

By William A. Spicer

DURING the recent camp-meeting season a good many acres of field and forest were pledged to God's cause, to hasten forward the message of truth. That means cutting down and cutting loose. And not only those acres given outright, but those that are being worked by Seventh-day Adventists are to preach the coming of the Lord.
In a very literal way, so far as Seventh-day Adventist lands and business enterprises are concerned, the psalmist's exhortation is to be fulfilled: “Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth.” Ps. 96: 12, 13.
“Say among the heathen [among the nations] that the Lord reigneth,” is the word just preceding. “Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.” And how it glorifies all business and toil to realize that the business is to be operated for God, and the proceeds to go to spreading his glorious truth among all peoples. W. A. S.
