'Who- /I've *7 U*1'uouU&iA. @jf ^Ue People?

As Elisha of old was accused of being the cause of the calam­ ities that were being visited upon the people of his time, just so will the people of God in the last days be accused as the cause for the troubles of our time.

“And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have pro­ voked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles up­ on those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offend­ ing God by the violation of the Sunday-sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity.’’ —Great Controversy, p. 590.

As disaster upon disaster follows in quick succession, and oeople are brought into straitened places, suffering, want and fam­ ine, with epidemics mowing down earth’s inhabitants in great num­ bers, some will begin to cast about for the cause of these calami­ ties. And no doubt the troubles of those times will be laid at the door of those who differ in belief and practice from the multitudes. J. F. Piper 2 CENTRAL UNION REAPER
