We are living in the closing days of earth’s history. Many in the world are careless; to them the most momentous truths have become as idle tales, making no impression on their mind and heart, no change in the character. But there are some who will give heed to God’s message and who will not rest until they understand His Word.—Manuscript 40, 1903. (See Testimonies for the Church 5:387, 388.) (PM 281.5) MC VC
