But all through the history of the movement the gift of the Spirit of prophecy has ministered these things of sound doctrine to us, and has been an inspiration to higher living and a counselor in the doing of the work. Warnings have come to us when we have taken the wrong turn, and the right way has been pointed out. The Lord, the living God, has been leading a movement, as He led the exodus movement long ago. We who have marched with the advent movement through the years, as it has risen from a small restricted field of work into a truly world movement, have all along seen this gift of the Spirit of prophecy doing things that we knew the human agent could never have devised by any natural gift or skill. There is here the touch of the supernatural. SPIAM 31.1
