A statement that "the day is coming, and is not far off, when every Seventh-day Adventist will wish … that he were out of the United States," has been incorrectly attributed
to Ellen G. White. It is part of a sermon by A. T. Jones, published in the
General
Conference Bulletin, April 16, 1901, pages 265, 266.
Thought for the Day
Every impure thought defiles the soul, impairs the moral sense, and tends to obliterate the impressions of the Holy Spirit. It dims the spiritual vision, so that men cannot behold God. The Lord may and does forgive the repenting sinner; but though forgiven, the soul is marred. Desire of Ages, p. 302
