Life sketches of ellen g. white

Accordingly, for many months following the earthquake,
special and continued efforts were made to proclaim the
third angel's message in San Francisco and Oakland and
other bay cities. Mrs. White did what she could to
encourage the workers stationed in these places, and made
several visits herself to the companies of laborers busily
engaged in teaching the people. When meeting with those who
were familiar with the truths of God's word, she appealed
to them to lend willing assistance to the efforts of the
workers. At the same time she wrote also of the far
reaching work that is to be done in every land. p. 414,
Para. 3, [LS15].
"The world is filled with transgression," she declared. "A
spirit of lawlessness pervades every land, and is
especially manifest in the great cities of the earth. The
sin and crime to be seen in our cities is appalling. God
cannot forbear much longer. Already His judgments are
beginning to fall on some places, and soon His signal
displeasure will be felt in other places. p. 415, Para. 1,
[LS15].
"There will be a series of events revealing that God is
master of the situation. The truth will be proclaimed in
clear, unmistakable language. As a people we must prepare
the way of the Lord under the overruling guidance of the
Holy Spirit. The gospel is to be given in its purity. The
stream of living water is to deepen and widen in its
course. In all fields, nigh and afar off, men will be
called from the plow and from the more common commercial
business vocations that largely occupy the mind, and will
be educated in connection with men of experience. As they
learn to labor effectively, they will proclaim the truth
with power. Through most wonderful workings of divine
Providence, mountains of difficulty will be removed, and
cast into the sea. The message that means so much to the
dwellers upon the earth, will be heard and understood. Men
will know what is truth. Onward and still onward the work
will advance, until the whole earth shall have been warned;
and then shall the end come." p. 415, Para. 2, [LS15].
