Contending for the Third Angel’s Message
Bro. J. Baker writes from Cass, Ohio: “I still feel like contending for the faith once delivered to the saints. We have opposition, but it only adds wings to my faith and confirms me more and more in the third angel’s message. I believe that the message of the third angel, as it is now published to a sinful world, will arouse the different sects to indignation. The advent doctrine has been called an emanation from the dark infernal regions of hell, by a minister of the M. E. Church, for the reason that they have had in progress a protracted meeting for the last eight days, and it seems to be a perfect failure; and they charge the fault all on a few adventists who live near their meeting house. I feel like striving with all my powers to get ready for the Lord when he shall descend with the trump of God, to awake the sleeping saints. I want to be found entire, wanting nothing.”
