There was no higher calling on the face of the earth than to become a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ. The day had dawned when the God of hea- ven had stretched out His hand to re- store Judah and Israel, and set up His dominion. Our business was to labor for this cause.

The God of heaven required us to warn this generation, who were approaching a very important day and time. A class of beings would follow the Elders in their testimonies to the world, beings who would command the thunders and the tempests and the destroying elements as witnesses to the truth of our testimony and the the truths we proclaim would rise in judg- ment against the wicked in the great day of the Lord.
