all the way is made clear. Faith says, Move forward. Christ says,
“Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” Go on,
step by step, departing not from that spirit of sanctification through
the truth which the presence of the Spirit of God and obedience to
the truth will give.—

A Parable of What Should Be
When Dr. Paulson showed me the location that had been secured
for sanitarium work at Hinsdale, I was thoroughly pleased; for this
place answered to the representations that had been given me of
places that would be obtained by our people for sanitarium work
outside of the large cities. Time will show that such properties as
this can be used to far greater advantage than buildings in Chicago;
for the wickedness of Chicago is as the wickedness of Sodom and
Gomorrah. It was also represented to me that there were other places
near Chicago, but away from the city, which the Lord would have
His people secure. There are souls to be reached. The message must
be proclaimed. This is the light that has been given to me.
I have been given a representation of the preaching of the word
of truth with clearness and power in many places where it has never
yet been heard. The Lord would have the people warned; for a great
work will be done in a short time. I have heard the word of God
proclaimed in many localities outside the city of Chicago. There
were many voices proclaiming the truth with great power. That
which they proclaimed was not fanciful theories, but the warning
message. While the solid truth of the Bible came from the lips of
men who had no fanciful theories or misleading science to present,
there were others who labored with all their power to bring in false
theories regarding God and Christ. And miracles were wrought, to
deceive, if possible, the very elect.
I heard the message proclaimed in power by men who had not
been educated in-----. Among those who were engaged in the work
were young men taken from the plow and from the fields, and sent
forth to preach the truth as it is in Jesus. Unquestioning faith in the
Lord God of heaven was imparted to those who were called and
chosen. “All this,” said my Instructor, “is a parable of what should
be, and what will be.”
