Our ministers are not doing their whole duty. The attention of the people should be called to the momentous event which is so near at hand. The signs of the times should be kept fresh before their minds. The prophetic visions of Daniel and John foretell a period of moral darkness and declension; but at the time of the end, the time in which we are now living, the vision was to speak and not lie. When the signs predicted begin to come to pass, the waiting, watching ones are bidden to look up and lift up their heads and rejoice because their redemption draweth nigh. {5T 9.2}

Vore prædikanter gør ikke hele deres pligt. Folks opmærksomhed bør henledes til den betydningsfulde begivenhed, som er så nær. Tidernes tegn bør holdes i frisk erindring. Daniels og Johannes profetiske syner forudsiger en periode i moralsk mørke og forfald; men ved (10) endens tid, den tid vi lever i nu, burde synet sige noget og ikke lyve. Når de beskrevne tegn begynder at ske, påbydes de ventende og vågende at se op og løfte deres hoveder op og glæde sig, fordi deres forløsning drager nærmere.
