Our Present Truth Message
113
the world has to give? Shall the favor of those who transgress the law
of God be looked upon as of great value? Shall those whom the Lord
has named His people suppose that there is any power higher than the
great I AM? Shall we endeavor to blot out the distinguishing points of
faith that have made us Seventh-day Adventists?
Our only safety is in standing constantly in the light of God’s
countenance.—

A Cheerful Present-Truth Message—Now, just now, we are to
proclaim present truth, with assurance and with power. Do not strike
one dolorous note; do not sing funeral hymns.—
Letter 311, 1905

Convinced by the Weight of Evidence—God is presenting to the
minds of men divinely appointed precious gems of truth, appropriate
for our time. God has rescued these truths from the companionship
of error, and has placed them in their proper frame-work. When these
truths are given their rightful position in God’s great plan, when they
are presented intelligently and earnestly, and with reverential awe,
by the Lord’s servants, many will conscientiously believe because of
the weight of evidence, without waiting for every supposed difficulty
which may suggest itself to their minds, to be removed.—
