Preparing for the Last Conflict
By John C. Day
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—There seems to be quite an interest on the part of some in this place to read on the subject of the Sabbath, also an inquiry in many thinking minds to know what these things mean, while they see the nations of the earth in commotion, preparing for the last conflict. Men's hearts are truly failing them for fear, and for looking after those things that are coming on the earth; and it would seem that God is preparing many minds for the loud cry of the third angel, so that they may take their stand with the children of God. All classes seem to be fitting up for the last great drama. Wickedness stalks in the street. The magician spirit has entered, and is entering, into every place. Yes, it may truly be said that Babylon is fallen, and is becoming the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. How ought we to live who can see the state of the world, and what is coming upon the earth. O Lord awaken an interest in all our hearts, is my prayer. JOHN C. DAY. Rock Bottom, Mass., Oct. 1st, 1854.
