Increasing Difficulties
Advance With Increasing Effort—We are nearing the great and
final conflict. Every advance move made now must be made with
increasing effort; for Satan is working with all power to increase the
difficulties in our way. He works with all deceivableness of unrigh-

of the gospel and to our missionary physicians, Go forward. The work
to be done calls for self-sacrifice at every step, but go forward.—

No Time to Lose—We have no time to lose. The end is near. The
passage from place to place to spread the truth will soon be hedged

eyes fastened on Jesus our Leader, and patiently, perseveringly press
on to gain the victory.—

becoming more and more difficult. It is essential that new and varied
talents unite in intelligent labor for the people.—

Favorable Time for the Cities Passed By—A great work is to be
done. I am moved by the Spirit of God to say to those engaged in
the Lord’s work, that the favorable time for our message to be carried
