                   But the people are not to be left to act in the


               dark in this matter. The third message utters a


               solemn protest against all this evil. It exposes


               the work of the beast, shows the nature of its


               opposition to the law of God, warns the people


               against  compliance  with  its  demands,  and



               points  out  to  all  the  way  of  truth.  This


               naturally excites opposition; and the church is


               led so much the more to seek the aid of human


               authority in behalf of its dogmas as they are


               shown to lack the divine.



               In  the  interests  of  these  messages,  the


               publication  of  a  paper  called  the  Advent


               Review and Sabbath Herald, was commenced


               in 1850, which has continued to the present


               time, circulating in every State and Territory


               of the Union, and in many foreign countries.
