I have one more reason to give for advocating this
matter now. And I would like to put into it all the
earnestness at my conmiand. That reason is identical
with our reason for a separate denominational exist-
ence. We are a separate people having a worthy his-
tory running back three hundred years, because we are
Sabbath-keeping Christians. If the Sabbath means
nothing we have no reason to exist. If it means little,
then perhaps we may as well defer any eflFort for better
equipment or for a more definite program for dissem-
inating Sabbath truth. But if it means what we are
led to infer in view of our history, and in view of the
teaching of the tWord of God, and of the need of the
world; then this is an opportune time, and this build-
ing of a Publishing House an eflFective way to impress
ourselves with the greatness of our mission, and to
show others that we believe in our future.
