Delay No Longer
Our workers are not reaching out as they should. Our leading men
are not awake to the work that must be accomplished. When I think of
the cities in which so little has been done, in which there are so many
thousands to be warned of the soon coming of the Saviour, I feel an
intensity of desire to see men and women going forth to the work in
the power of the Spirit, filled with Christ’s love for perishing souls.
Those in our cities—living within the shadow of our doors—have
been strangely neglected. Organized effort should now be put forth to
give them the message of present truth. A new song is to be put into
their mouths. They are to go forth to impart to others now in darkness
the light of the third angel’s message.
We all need to be wide awake, that, as the way opens, we may
advance the work in the large cities. We are far behind in following
the light given to enter these cities and erect memorials for God. Step
by step we are to lead souls into the full light of truth. And we are to
continue the work until a church is organized and a humble house of
worship built. I am greatly encouraged to believe that many not of our
faith will help considerably by their means. The light given me is that
in many places, especially in the great cities of America, help will be
given by such persons.
Workers in cities should read carefully the tenth and eleventh
chapters of Hebrews and appropriate to themselves the instruction
that this scripture contains. The eleventh chapter is a record of the
experiences of the faithful. Those who work for God in the cities must
go forward in faith, doing their very best. As they watch and work and
[41]
pray, God will hear and answer their petitions. They will obtain an
experience that will be invaluable to them in their after work. “Faith
is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1
