ye may be also.' John 14:1-3. It is these mansions that I
am looking to; it is not the earthly mansions here, for
erelong they are to be shaken down by the mighty
earthquake; but those heavenly mansions that Christ has
gone to prepare for the faithful. p. 293, Para. 3, [LS15].
"We have no home here; we are only pilgrims and strangers,
passing to a better country, even a heavenly. Place your
mind upon these things, and while you are doing this,
Christ will be right by your side. May God help us to win

Dispelling the Darkness -- During the early days of the
Council, one of the speakers, after referring to some of
the barriers to the progress of the message, appealed to

would come changes that would open doors that were closed
and barred, changes in many things that would alter
conditions and arouse the minds of the people to understand

she assured them, "but nothing for you to wait for. Your
work is to go forward, presenting the truth in its
simplicity, holding up the light of truth before the
people." p. 294, Para. 3, [LS15].
Then she told them how the matter had been presented to
her in vision. Sometimes the multitudes in our world, to
whom is sent the warning message from the word of God that
Christ is soon coming, were presented to her as enveloped
in mists and clouds and dense darkness, even as described
by Isaiah, who wrote, "Behold, the darkness shall cover the
earth, and gross darkness the people." Isa. 60:2. p. 294,
