The Great Second Advent Movement: Its Rise and Progress

Move by Faith—Elder Stone’s Testimony

The zeal and earnestness of those who have pressed forward in the work of the third angel’s message is well expressed in the Review of Feb. 5, 1884, by Elder Albert Stone, one of the pioneers in the cause, who lived to the ripe age of ninety years:— GSAM 298.4

“The early history of the cause was a day of small things, and the means employed seemed insufficient for the work. But the men and women of faith have known from the beginning that the strong arm of the Lord was enlisted in this work. They have known that the time set to favor Zion had come, and that the Lord had set his hand to gather his people. They saw that the Lord was at the helm, and that the Gospel Ship, freighted with the remnant church and her cargo of restored truth, tried faith, and perfect love, would come safely into harbor.” GSAM 298.5
