Sunday, is not a question to be brought before an<br />

open Conference. It could not be voted upon<br />

without misunderstanding and mismoves and bad<br />

results.<br />

I am led to inquire with pain of soul what do<br />

our brethren mean by presenting questions of this<br />

order before an open conference. If the disciples of<br />

Christ needed to assemble together in one place<br />

after the ascension of Christ and pray for the<br />

descent of the Holy Spirit, there would be greater<br />

need of their doing so now when solemn and farreaching<br />

principles are involved. Ten days were<br />

devoted to earnest seeking of God and ten days<br />

would need to extend to twenty before men should<br />

venture to put their pens to write out a decision for<br />

the people on this point. Much earnest prayer and<br />

nothing less than the descent of the Holy Ghost<br />

would settle these questions. <strong>The</strong>n to toss these<br />

questions into the Conference without the prayerful<br />

consideration of the subject would be the greatest<br />

folly.<br />

This is the third angel's message to our world
