The Advent message has advanced with accelerated force and power from year to year, until it has missions encircling the earth. It surely is not because the message is one that is pleasing to carnal hearts that it has prospered; for it carries in its fore-front the Sabbath of the Lord, whose observance requires a separation from business with the world on the busiest day of the week. Neither has it advanced because of no opposition, for this has been encountered from the first, and that of the fiercest kind from without as well as perplexities from within. We may well say with the psalmist, "If it had not been the Lord was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us. ... Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth." Psalm 124:2,3,8. Not only have we seen the Lord's providence in the rise and progress of the third angel's message, but He has communicated with His people through the gift of prophecy. This has not been in the form of a new revelation to take the place of the Bible, 246
ut to show there is danger in departing from the simplicity of the gospel of Christ, becoming satisfied with a form of godliness without the power. Testing the gift as manifested through Mrs. E. G. White by the Bible rules, we have seen that it stands the test in every particular. In all her writings there has not been found a single line that gives the slightest license to sin, or that tolerates in the least degree any departure from God's Word. These writings have never placed themselves above the Bible, but they constantly exhort to the most careful study of the word of God, pointing to it as the great standard by which our cases will be examined in the final judgment. In the writings, Christ is exalted before us as the only pattern to follow. He is declared to be our only hope of victory here, our only refuge from the wrath to come, and the only name and means through whom we may be saved. After having watched the matter since 1852, I have found that for the most part the opposition to 247
