Evangelist Dickson said in part: "The church of Jesus Christ is now facing the gravest crisis of her history. This crisis has come to the church as a result of her attitude toward the great three-fold warning message which God is sending her and through her to the world. In the prophecies of Revela tion, chapters 13, 14, ,17 and 18, God has faithfully revealed the attitude of tho church toward the warning mes sages of the last days and has shown that the professed people of God, to whom has been , committed the great work -of saving men from destruction, have fallen from the high plane to which God called them, and have largely failed in the work which has satlons, worship, doctrines, and ob- servances various relics of popery. They are at best a reformation of popery, and only reformations ln part. The doctrines and traditions of .men yet Impair the power and progress of that our attention is turned for all of this?
