Text Appearing Before Image:
The statements used by Bible writers in foretelling
the rise, progress, and culmination of the Advent
Movement, and what we see taking place, assure us
that this message is now being given to the world.
The gospel is being preached for a witness unto all
nations. A movement is on foot that meets every
specification of the prophecy.
And the message is being given in the very lan-
guage of prophecy. Sincere men and women are turn-
ing to the commandments of God as the true standard
of the Christian life. At the same time they are look-
ing to the Lord Jesus Christ as the only source of
power to enable them to keep the law of God. In His
name and strength they are achieving victories.

The Way Prepared

For nineteen hundred years the long-suffering of
God has waited even as it waited in the days of Noah,
" while the ark was a preparing." But God cannot
always wait. His purpose must be fulfilled. His will
must be accomplished; and in these last days His prov-

conditions throughout the earth, to prepare the way
for the proclamation of this gospel of the kingdom,
— the world-wide message of the end of the age and
the fulfilment of His eternal purpose concerning the
earth and its peoples. A century ago conditions in all
non-Christian lands were in every way opposed to the
evangelization of the people, and these forbidding con-
ditions seemed altogether immovable. But during the
last century these conditions have changed. A mighty
power has swept the barriers away. They no longer
exist.
One of the great barriers was exclusion. Great
" walls of adamant and gates of steel" shut out West-
ern nations and Christian missionaries. And they
shut these heathen people in, thus cutting off effective
communication. But today these walls are gone. Of
the wonderful change that has been effected in this
one particular, the late Dr. Arthur T. Pierson, one of
the greatest champions of the cause of foreign mis-
sions, once said:
The twentieth century finds the world-field with
fences down, inviting tillage.
