it
on
and
get
it
on
a
proper
foundation.
God
chose
a
fit
man
to
warn
the
world
about
the
deluge
and
he
prosecuted
the
work
to
a
successful
finish.
Take
the
exodus:
this
also
required
a
man
of
unswerving
integrity,
superior
in
mental
power,
a
leader,
an
organizer
of
great
capacity,
a
man
of
a
masterly
mind,
a
great
thinker,
a
good
finan-
cier,—Moses,
a
very
humble,
devoted,
consecrated
servant
of
his
God.
Just
so
when
the
Jews
were
to
be
delivered
from
their
Babylonish
captivity
a
man
now
was
needed
in
whom
the
Jews
had
great
confidence
and
had
great
persuasive
powers
so
as
to
influence
the
Persian
king,
and
Ezra
was
the
man.
He
overcame
the
great
obstacles
and
Jerusalem
was
built
again.
And
so
at
the
first
advent
God
had
a
man
made
ready—John
the
Baptist
who
real-
ized
that
he
was
fulfilling
a
prophecy:
‘I
am
the
voice
of
one
crying
in
the
wilderness.””
The
protestant
world
all
believe
God
raised
up
Luther
to
do
a
mighty
work.
A
man
that
just
fitted
the
occasion,
a
man
of
an
iron
will,
great
courage,
strong
mind,
and
deeply
devotional;
a
man
able
to
meet
any
and
all
opposition;
a
man
who
could
combine
and
generalize
rapidly.
Miller
was
a
special
agent
of
God’s
to
awaken
the
world
on
the
great
question
of
the
soon-coming
of
our
Lord
and
thus
to
give
the
first
message.
These
men
were
all
great
leaders,
well
bal-
anced
men,
ready
for
almost
any
emergency;
not
one-
sided
men,
but
all-around
men."
But
one
says:
‘‘Christ
is
our
leader.”
That
is
right.
So
was
Christ
the
leader
in
the
days
of
Moses,
Ezra,
Nehemiah,
yet
God
chose
these
men
through
whom
to
lead
His
people.
Is
it
not
reasonable
to
conclude
that
in
forwarding
the
Third
Angel’s
Message,
embracing
so
much
in
its
folds,
God
would
lay
a
special
burden
on
some
one
or
more
to
direct
the
work
and
lay
a
firm
and
solid
foundation
for
its
prosecution
and
completion?
We
all
believe
He
did
so.

Now
let
me
say,
you
cannot
find
a
single
case
from
Adam
to
Moses,
from
Moses
to
Christ,
from
Christ
to
Luther,
from
Luther
to
Wesley,
from
Wesley
on
to
Miller,
where
God
laid
a
special
burden
upon
a
man
to
do
a
special
work,
to
commence
it,
where
such
a
one
apostatized
