Our Publications
The great and wonderful work of the last gospel message is to be
carried on now as it has never been before. The world is to receive
the light of truth through an evangelizing ministry of the word in our
books and periodicals. Our publications are to show that the end of
all things is at hand. I am bidden to say to our publishing houses:
“Lift up the standard; lift it up higher. Proclaim the third angel’s
message, that it may be heard by all the world. Let it be seen that
‘here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of
Jesus.’
Revelation 14:12
. Let our literature give the message as a
witness to all the world.”
Our workers should now be encouraged to give their first atten-
tion to books that deal with the evidences of our faith—books that
teach the doctrines of the Bible and that will prepare a people to
stand in the trying times before us. Having brought a people to the
enlightenment of the truth by prayerful labor in Bible instruction,
and through a wise use of our publications, we are to teach them to
become laborers in word and doctrine. We are to encourage them to
scatter the books that deal with Bible subjects—books the teachings
of which will prepare a people to stand, having their loins girded
with truth and their lamps burning.
We have been asleep, as it were, regarding the work that may
[62]
be accomplished by the circulation of well-prepared literature. Let
us now, by the wise use of periodicals and books, preach the word
with determined energy, that the world may understand the message
that Christ gave to John on the Isle of Patmos. Let every human
intelligence who professes the name of Christ testify: “The end of
all things is at hand; prepare to meet thy God.”
Our publications should go everywhere. Let them be issued in
many languages. The third angel’s message is to be given through
this medium and through the living teacher. You who believe the
truth for this time, wake up. It is your duty now to bring in all the
means possible to help those who understand the truth to proclaim
