THE THIRD MESSAGE.

By Jos. Clarke

It is evident that this message is greatly increasing in power and influence. At the late camp-meeting in Ohio, this fact was clearly seen, both in regard to the numbers present, and to the spirit and power of the truth, as manifested in the preaching and general spirit of the meetings and at the ordinance of baptism. The Lord is clothing his ministers and his people with power; the gifts of the church are returning to his people, and harmony, order, and quiet, are the blessed results.

The reports in the REVIEW and SIGNS OF THE TIMES are thrilling and important; and the greatly increased number and variety of periodicals, tracts, and books, in connection with the Tract Society, are filling the world with moral light, and sending the third message everywhere. Who will come up to the work? Bro. and Sr. White, and our messengers generally, are having a good degree of freedom and light. May the Lord bless them, and all his people, in their great work.

The mission to Europe is doing a blessed work. Those who want a part in it, must hasten; for it will soon be accomplished, and then woe to those who have kept back from the work of God. It is no time now to think of future plans for this earth, unless they reach over the chasm of the thousand years, to the new earth. Who will make deposits of wealth, to be kept for them until that time? those are the wise financiers who look ahead, as Moses did, to the final recompense. Heb. 11:26.
