"Many have trusted and gloried in the wisdom of men far more than in Christ and the precious, sanctifying truth for this time.
They need the heavenly anointing,
that they may comprehend what is light and truth.
*They admire man-made inventions and discoveries, but they are walking in the sparks of their own kindling, diverging farther and farther from the genuine principles of Christian action, ordained to make men wise unto salvation.
*They strive to extend the gospel, but separate from it the very marrow, the life.
*They say, "Let the light shine;" but cover it so that it shall not shine in clear rays on the very subjects that they need to understand.
*Some exhaust the fervor of their zeal on plans that cannot be carried out without peril to the church.
--At this time the church should not be diverted from the main object of vital interest....But the light which is given to shine brighter and brighter unto the perfect day, burns dimly.
The church no longer sends out the clear, bright rays of light amid the moral darkness that is enveloping the world as a funeral pall. The light of many does not burn or shine. They are moral icebergs.
But if they have not received the message from the lips of Christ, their trumpets will give an uncertain sound.
But if they have not received the message from the lips of Christ, their trumpets will give an uncertain sound.
Brethren, God calls upon you, both ministers and laymen, to listen to His voice speaking to you in his word.
*Let His truth be received into the heart, that you may be spiritualized by its living, sanctifying power.
*Then let the distinct message for this time be sent from watchman to watchman on the walls of Zion."
