The Church Triumphant—The work is soon to close. The mem-
bers of the church militant who have proved faithful will become the
church triumphant.—
Letter 32, 1892
.
And still our General, who never makes a mistake, says to us,
“Advance; enter new territory; lift the standard in every land. ‘Arise,
shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee.’”
The time has come when through God’s messengers the scroll is
being unrolled to the world. The truth contained in the first, second,
and third angels’ messages must go to every nation, kindred, tongue,
and people; it must lighten the darkness of every continent, and extend

Our watchword is to be, Onward, ever onward! Angels of heaven
will go before us to prepare the way. Our burden for the regions beyond
can never be laid down till the whole earth is lightened with the glory
of the Lord.—
