Testimonies for the Church – start 2020

Christ clothed His divinity with humanity and lived a life of prayer and self-denial, and of daily battle with temptation, that He might help those who today are assailed by temptation.

Chapter 34—In Humility and Faith [Read at the Los Angeles, California, camp meeting, August 15-31, 1907, and afterward published in the tract, Jehovah is Our King.] Special instruction has been given me for God’s people, for perilous times are upon us.
