Testimonies for the Church Vol 1 - Lansing SDA Church

While Volume I of the Testimonies presents counsel having todo largely with the inception and development of the teachings, experiences,and enterprises of the newly established remnant church,volume 2 is devoted almost entirely to the personal piety of its members.During the thirteen years paralleled by the fourteen testimonypamphlets now forming volume I, the publishing work was solidified,the church was organized, its system of finance was established, and ithad launched into a great health program. When the closing article waswritten, literature was pouring in a steady stream from its presses atthe review and herald publishing plant at battle creek, Michigan, and,near by, the newly established sanitarium was in full operation. Thedark hours of the civil war years were in the past, and for the church itwas a day of opportunity. The task before it was to hold the groundgained and to enlarge its borders. Vital to the continued success of thechurch was the integrity of its individual members.[1]May 1, 1947.
