C.H. Watson

Ralph S. Watts III
Seventh-day Adventists have come to an unprecedented hour in the proclamation of the great Advent message. Significant developments among the nations and in the nominal churches reinforce our prediction of Christ's soon coming, and cry out that the Advent is the only solution for a bankrupt civilization.

Neal Becker
