The Message Advances

Bro. A. A. Marks writes from Jackson, Mich. ‘‘Bro. Smith: I can say I rejoice in the prospect of good there is before us. I look back to the time when there were but two (Brn. Bates and White), who were bringing this Message before the people; now there are those that are going east and west, north and south to sound the alarm and yet we pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth more laborers into the wide field. The power-press is also sending out the silent messengers to warn the world of a coming Saviour, and thus the work moves on, and thus it will until the time shall come for the loud voice of the third angel.

‘‘I do not ‘hang all my faith and hope too on Bro. Smith and Review,’ but I do thank God that he has raised up men to send out the weekly messenger to comfort the hearts of the scattered sheep and lambs of Jesus in the dark and cloudy day. May the Lord bless all the instrumentalities that are in use for the advancement of this last work of God.’’
