SDA News - Elder Brooks Sleeps

Elder Brooks died this morning....
His lord said unto him,
Well done,
good and faithful servant;
Matthew 25:23
"May the messages and spirit that actuated Elder CD Brooks inspire laborers in this closing
generation to carry forward the banner of the Three Angels so faithfully borne by him.
May we keep Elder Brooks' family in our prayers at this time of bereavement.
"The old standard bearers knew what it was to wrestle with God in prayer, and to enjoy the outpouring of His Spirit. But these are
passing off from the stage of action; and who are coming up to fill their places? How is it with the rising generation? Are they converted to God? Are we awake to the work that is going on in the heavenly sanctuary, or are we waiting for some compelling power to come upon the church before we shall arouse? Are we hoping to see the whole church revived? That time will never come." {1SM 122.1 E.G.W.}" SavedToServe
