The Power of the Third Angel’s Message
By H. Flower
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—The Conference in this place was one of much interest, and we trust will prove a lasting blessing to the scattered remnant in this region. The third angel's message was clearly presented by Bro. Wheeler, who came to us richly laden with the blessings of the gospel. The meeting commenced in the Spirit, and the power of God attended to the close. The brethren from South Hawley met with us, and a few from other places. While the word was preached, a solemnity seemed to rest upon the people; and notwithstanding that some scoffed, and the enemy marshalled his army against the truth, yet here and there could be seen the falling tear among the crowd. Some arose and requested prayers, others, since the close of the meeting, have become serious, and some we trust, have found peace in believing. O, I bless the name of the Lord that he has power on earth to forgive sins. The Lord is still to work among the children of the believing parents in this place, and to him be all the praise. There is a power in the third angel's message that honest souls cannot, and will not resist. I feel like giving all for Christ, laying all upon the altar.—An entire consecration is needed, in order that we may be enabled to stand in the great day of the Lord's anger. It is indispensable. Brethren, let us seek for it, until it is obtained. Yours, looking for him who is our Life.
H. FLOWER.
