Our houses of publication have become a power in the world. A great change has taken place. With our increased facilities to make the clear light shine forth to those who are in darkness, it is not now so hard as it once was to see and accept the truth. Those who first led out in the work were objects of the combined assaults of evil men and evil angels. The enmity of Satan, working through men as his instruments, was strikingly developed. On the other hand, the believers, though few in number, were earnest and zealous to vindicate the honor of God in exalting His law which had been made void, and to press back the workings of Satan revealed in every form of destructive error. {4T 593.2}

Vore forlagshuse er blevet en magt i verden. Der er sket en stor forandring. Med vore større evner til at få det klare lys til at skinne frem for dem som er i mørke, er det ikke så svært, som det engang var at se og antage sandheden. Dem som først ledte arbejdet frem, var genstand for onde menneskers og onde engles forenede voldsomme overfald. Satans fjendskab, som arbejder gennem mennesker som sine redskaber, blev udviklet påfaldende. På den anden side var de troende, skønt fåtallige, alvorlige og nidkære for at forsvare Guds ære, ved at ophøje hans lov, som var blevet gjort tom og drive Satans gerninger tilbage, som var blevet åbenbaret i enhver form for nedbrydende vildfarelse.
