perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me <strong>and</strong> the<br />

children of Israel forever: for in six days the Lord<br />

made heaven <strong>and</strong> earth, <strong>and</strong> on the seventh day he<br />

rested, <strong>and</strong> was refreshed."<br />

God's st<strong>and</strong>ard of character is his law. Satan<br />

said, I will tear down this st<strong>and</strong>ard, <strong>and</strong> will plant<br />

my own st<strong>and</strong>ard in its place. This he has tried <strong>and</strong><br />

is still trying to do, that God's st<strong>and</strong>ard may be<br />

eclipsed or seen through a glass darkly. The Jews<br />

did not see it, <strong>and</strong> that is why they crucified Christ.<br />

The Christian world do not see it; <strong>and</strong> that is why<br />

they refuse to acknowledge the law of God. In so<br />

doing they make themselves accountable for the<br />

sins that destroyed the inhabitants of the old world<br />

by a flood, that brought fire <strong>and</strong> brimstone upon<br />

Sodom, <strong>and</strong> that destroyed the Jewish nation. Shall<br />

those to whom God has given wonderful<br />

opportunities <strong>and</strong> great light follow in the tread of<br />

those who rejected light, to their ruin? Shall those<br />

to whom God has entrusted wonderful truth remain<br />

on the low level of the teachers of this generation?<br />

(Signed) Mrs. E. G. <strong>White</strong><br />
