Daughters of God
I feel so grateful to my heavenly Father for His loving-kindness
in bringing these two precious souls to unite with their husbands in
obeying the truth.—

The Lord Would Be Pleased to See a Similar Work Done in
Every Church—Sabbath, November 10, I visited San Francisco, and
spoke to a church full of people who had ears to hear and hearts to
understand. They seemed to be hungry for the Word of the Lord,
and I believe they heard to a purpose. As I spoke the word of life in
plain, simple language, I knew that Christ was with us, softening and
subduing hearts. The Holy Spirit was evidently at work. Oh, how my
heart yearned for the precious souls whom I was inviting to look and
live!
After I had finished speaking, Elder Corliss invited all who wished
to give themselves to Jesus to come forward. There was a quick and
happy response, and I was told that nearly two hundred persons came
forward. Men and women, youth and children, pressed into the front
seats. The Lord would be pleased to have a work similar to this done
in every church
.
Many could not come forward, because the house was so crowded,
yet the animated countenances and tearful eyes testified to the deter-
[247]
mination, “I will be on the Lord’s side. From this time I will seek
earnestly to reach a higher standard.”—

Response at General Conference Session of 1909—My brethren
and sisters, seek the Lord while He may be found. There is a time
coming when those who have wasted their time and opportunities
will wish they had sought Him.... He wants you to keep in the line
of reason, and in the line of labor. He wants you to go forth to our
churches to labor earnestly for Him. He wants you to institute meetings
for those outside of the churches, that they may learn the truths of this
last message of warning. There are places where you will be gladly
received, where souls will thank you for coming to their help. May the
Lord help you to take hold of this work as you have never yet taken
hold of it. Will you do this? Will you here rise to your feet and testify
that you will make God your trust and your helper? [Congregation
rises.]
[Praying] I thank Thee, Lord God of Israel. Accept this pledge of
this Thy people. Put Thy Spirit upon them. Let Thy glory be seen in
