<br />

 The Messenger came to my room at the home of R. E. Stone, 2425

Lafayette, Saint Joseph, Missouri, at 12 midnight and left at 1:12

a.m., October 30, 1938. He gave the following

message:  W.A.DRAVES<br />

<br />

<br />

 1 Behold, I come to you at this home, for thus the Lord has

commanded. I speak the words and will of the Lord your God.<br />

 2 The Lord has blessed His people, those that are willing to hear

Him, for the words I bring are His words, and they that heareth the

words of the Lord and obey, shall be His church in very deed.<br />

 3 Thus far those that have listened to the words of the Lord, they

shall receive the greater blessing, for behold, the time is nigh at

hand when the greater power will be manifested; therefore arise to

greater faith ye servants of the Lord. Turn away from the

traditions of men and the things that bringeth contention, for the

Lord will bless those that are humble and do His will.<br />

 4 Send what help that can be to the foreign fields as much can be

done at this opportune time. The Lord is giving His word to those

that are afar off as I speak to you and have spoken.<br />

 5 Let the Norwegian messages be sent to the people of that

language and tongue, for the gospel will soon be preached in that

nation.<br />

 6 Some the Lord has called have slumbered and slept, while some

have been true and will yet be true, their reward is sure. Again

others will yet rise and heed their call.<br />

 7 It is the will of the Lord that more be called to labor as

bishops that the work will hasten on. Therefore, let J. W. Savage,

Maurice Turland and Clarence Dobson be set apart as bishops. Let

them remember they are stewards for God and that He requires it of

them at the last day. Let them teach the tithing law and abide in

all things in the ways of the Lord. It is needful that they work in

the field of the Lord. Let the bishops work in unison in this

office and calling.<br />

 8 The Lord has called men in other nations to know this

cause.<br />

 9 Let the elders teach the people to live in peace before God that

the works of darkness must be done away for the kingdoms of this

world will know that God has spoken.<br />

 10 I have come to you. I have come from the presence of the Lord

your God. I bring a message of love, and a warning that Christ's

coming is near at hand and the destructions that shall be. I have

brought and bring instructions for the church.<br />

 11 The works of Satan must be overcome, then peace shall

reign.<br />

 12 Let the words I bring be translated in other languages that all

nations may be warned. Publish and send abroad the warning, teach

the reign of peace. Be at peace for Christ's kingdom shall be, and

He shall rule from sea to sea and all men will then hear His

words.<br />

 13 The words I bring is a warning. Will the people heed it?<br />

 14 I have come and will yet come, as the prophets have foretold,

until the great controversy between Christ and Satan is over, the

Temple built, the people prepared and the bridegroom sits down.

They that be with Him are called, chosen and faithful.<br />

 15 I shall come again as the Lord will direct.<br />

<br />
