The Church: Its Organization, Order and Discipline

Geo. Storrs in the Second Message

Geo. Storrs said of the churches, while the second angel’s message was being given, in 1844: “Which of them will suffer a soul to remain among them in peace, that openly and fearlessly avows his faith in the advent at the door? Are not the terms of remaining among them undisturbed, that you wholly refrain from a public expression of faith in the coming of the Lord this year, whatever your convictions may be on the subject, and however important you may feel it to be to cry, ‘Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come.’ “ COOD 86.1
