You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Psalm 60:4.

And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in. Isaiah 58:12.

“Go through, go through the gates; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.” Isaiah 62:10.

… The precious hours of probation are closing. Let us make sure work for eternal life, that we may glorify our heavenly Father, and be the means of saving souls for whom Christ died. –Christian Service, pp. 83, 84, 77.

Are we determined to take an active part warning those who do not understand the present truth?

Are we living at the time when the precious hours of probation soon will be over?
