Storrs on the Attitude of the Churches

George Storrs spoke of the attitude of the churches toward the Adventists, on this wise:— GSAM 176.1

“Which of them, at this moment, are not saying, ‘I sit as a queen’? And which of them are not pleasing themselves with the idea that some day they are to effect the conquest of the world, and that it is to be subjected to their faith? 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 cry, ‘Fear God, and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come’?” GSAM 176.2
