THERE is no kind of preaching which will renew the courage and revive the hope of believers like a spiritual presentation of the fundamental truths of the third angel's message. This message is not a dry theory which loses its interest as soon as the novelty is worn off, but is a living experience which grows more and more real as we know it better. The plain truths of the third angel's message are always meat in due season.

EVERYTHING indicates that the time has come for rapid advancement in this advent movement. Hindrances have been removed. The way has been prepared. The doors are open on every hand. The spirit of giving and of working is taking possession of the people. And above all, there are manifest tokens that God is bearing witness to his message “both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.” The time to favor Zion is come, and we should recognize the day of our visitation.

WONDERFUL is the provision which the Father has made for his children. “He will abundantly pardon.” We are made accepted in the Beloved. Grace is promised for every trial. We are invited to come boldly to the throne of grace, where mercy and grace are freely dispensed. No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Certain it is that the Lord has planned for believers to live a life of victory over every opposing influence, and daily to show forth the praises of him who has called them out of darkness into his marvelous light. “O that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!”
