In separating ourselves from the world as God's commandment-keeping people, we have experienced the power and opposition of the enemy. As we have made advance moves at the command, "Go forward," we have had occasion to rejoice that angels of God have gone before us, and prepared the way. We have, as it were, crossed the Red Sea, and have again and again realized the hand of God in our deliverance. It becomes us to call to mind these evidences of divine favor, and to offer up thanksgiving and praise that the Captain of our salvation, concealed by the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, has been, and still is, leading us into all truth.

Ved at udskille os selv fra verden som Guds lovlydige folk, har vi erfaret fjendens kraft og modstand. Idet vi går frem under befalingen, "Ryk frem," kan vi glæde os over at Guds engle har gået foran os, og beredt vejen. Som det skete førhen, har vi krydset det Røde Hav og igen og igen erkendt at Guds hånd har udfriet os. Det er vor opgave at huske på disse beviser på guddommelig velvillighed, og sende taksigelse og pris for at vor frelses Befalingsmand, skjult i sky støtten om dagen og i ild støtten om natten, der har ledt os og stadig leder os til hele sandheden.
