the United States to secure for the
institutions and usages of the church
the support of the state, Protestants are
following in the steps of papists. Nay,
more, they are opening the door for the
papacy to regain in Protestant America
the supremacy which she has lost in the
Old World…” (Great Controversy, 573).

4. “….And that which gives greater
significance to this movement is the fact
that the principal object contemplated is
the enforcement of Sunday
observance--a custom which originated

5. “If he would know how papists and
Protestants united will deal with those
who reject their dogmas, let him see the
spirit which Rome manifested toward
the Sabbath and its defenders.” (Great
Controversy, 573)
Papists & Protestants

6. These records of the past clearly reveal
the enmity of Rome toward the true
Sabbath and its defenders, and the
means which she employs to honor the

boast of Rome that she never changes.
… All that she desires is vantage

12. The influence of these messages has been
deepening and widening, setting in motion
the springs of action in thousands of hearts,
bringing into existence institutions of
learning, publishing houses, and health
institutions; all these are the instrumentalities
of God to co-operate in the grand work
represented by the first, second, and third
angels flying in the midst of heaven to warn

13. Seventh-day Adventists have been chosen
by God as a peculiar people, separate from
the world. He has made them His
