devoted, has received little or no attention. The commercial work,
some of it of a most objectionable character, has gradually assumed
[93] the supremacy. This work has absorbed the energies which should
have been devoted to the publication of literature of the purest quality
and the most elevating character. Time has been wasted, talent
misapplied, and money misappropriated. The work which ought to
have been done has been left undone. Satan’s sentiments have been
exalted. His theories have been printed by presses which should
have been used to prepare the truth of God for circulation. Men
have coveted promotion when their principles were under the ban of
God’s displeasure. Loss is infinitely better than dishonorable gain.
Oh, what will God do with the timeservers? Think you that Jesus
will stand in the printing establishment, to work through human
minds by His ministering angels, to make the truth coming from
the press a power to warn the world that the end of all things is at
hand, while Satan is allowed to pervert the minds of the workers
right in the institution? The light I have is: Refuse to print another
line of this pernicious matter. Those who have had to do with its
introduction into the publishing house need to repent before God in
contrition of soul, for His wrath is kindled against them. Let this
class of work be forever excluded from our publishing houses. Give
more time to the publication and circulation of the books containing
present truth. See that your work in this line reaches perfection. Do
all in your power to diffuse throughout the world the light of heaven.
Solemn Warning 93
The apprentices and the other workers must not be so rushed and
hurried that they have no time to pray. The youth in our publishing
houses should be educated as were the youth in the schools of the
prophets. They should be prepared to take hold of the work in new
places.
If the men who heard the message given at the time of the Conference—
the most solemn message that could be given—had not [94]
been so unimpressionable, if in sincerity they had asked, “Lord,
what wilt Thou have me to do?” the experience of the past year
would have been very different from what it is. But they have not
made the track clean behind them. They have not confessed their
mistakes, and now they are going over the same ground in many
things, following the same wrong course of action, because they
have destroyed their spiritual eyesight.
The message of the third angel is to prepare a people to stand in
these days of peril. It is to be proclaimed with a loud voice and is to
accomplish a work which few realize.
John writes: “I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the
earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for
the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made
heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And
there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen is fallen, that
great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication.” Revelation 14:6-8. How is this done? By
forcing men to accept a spurious sabbath. In the thirty-first chapter

of Exodus we are plainly told which day is the Sabbath of the Lord.
