Thank You End of Year Adventist Youth Service! This Sabbath December 9, Officer and Volunteer Update First Reading: Sabbath School Assistant Secretaries: - Jerry Corpuz - Tency Franco - Elizabeth Nyaundi - Godnere St. Croix God s Treasure Chest We stand on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecy is fast fulfilling. A new life is descending from on high and taking possession of God s people. Some souls will have to advance fast or they will have to be left far behind in darkness. The judgment is hastening. The Word of God is rebuking, warning, and entreating men to reach the Bible standard, but Satan has brought about such a condition of things in our churches that it will be most difficult to bring them to their senses and arouse them to see their God-given responsibilities. If they will with real contrition of heart confess their sins, they may, through watchfulness and prayer, come off conquerors. (October 8, 1885) par. 23 (Manuscript 3, 1885)
