THE GENERAL CONFERENCE.
By R. F. Cottrell
We have reached a point of the most thrilling importance in the history of our work in the last message. The world is on the eve of great events; and never was there a time, since the great plan of redemption and salvation was laid, of greater importance to the people who would have a part in this great salvation. The session of the General Conference at this time is a meeting of the deepest interest to the lovers of truth. Deliberations of the deepest importance in the cause of God are to be had; and it is most ardently to be desired that right decisions may be the result; so that measures may be taken such as the Spirit of God will approve. All who have an interest in this meeting, and who would be glad to be present, cannot attend. Many who would be present will of necessity be absent. But we all have the privilege of meeting in spirit around the throne of grace, now and onward to the close of the session, and praying God to give wisdom and guidance to his servants, that the best interests of the cause may be promoted, and the salvation of many souls may be the result. Have you a deep and abiding interest in the work, pray for its success; if not, pray God to awaken your own soul to a sense of duty and of the importance of these swiftly passing moments, that they may be spent in the cause of God and dying humanity.
