MR No. 315—Righteousness by Faith; Public Relations
I have had the question asked, What do you think of this light that these men are presenting? Why, I have been presenting it to you for the last forty-five years—the matchless charms of Christ. This is what I have been trying to present before your minds. When Brother Waggoner brought out these ideas in Minneapolis, it was the first clear teaching on this subject from any human lips I had heard, excepting the conversations between myself and my husband. I have said to myself, It is because God has presented it to me in vision that I see it so clearly, and they cannot see it because they have never had it presented to them as I have. And when another presented it, every fiber of my heart said, Amen.—Manuscript 5, 1889, 10. (Sermon, Rome, New York, June 19, 1889.)

Item on Public Relations
The Lord God is walking through our churches, through our institutions, beholding their outward appearance. The atmosphere which surrounds us is making its impression, not only on the human family, but on the heavenly universe. Angels are impressed with the things which they behold in the outward surroundings of God’s people—Letter 35, 1901, p. 4. (To “Dear Brethren and Sisters at Crystal Springs,” March 7, 1901.)
