Isahluko 27 — Obunye Ubungqina Buqinisekisiwe

GSAM 442.1“YOSHAFAT wema wathi, Ndiphulaphuleni, nina bantu baseYuda, nahlali baseJerusalem; nikholwe eNkosini uThixo wenu, nize nimiseleke; nikholwe kubaprofeti bakhe, nize niphumelele.”¹

GSAM 442.2Kwiminyaka eyadlulayo kwanikwa ubungqina ngesipho sobuprofeti ukuba phambi kokuphela amaphepha ashicilelweyo ale nyaniso aza “kusasazwa njengamagqabi ekwindla.” Indlela oku kwakunokwenziwa ngayo ngaphandle kokuba abantu abakholelwayo enyanisweni babekwe ngandlel' ithile okanye bahlanganiswe ukuze benze lo msebenzi, yayingumbuzo owavela ezingqondweni zabantu abaninzi. Ngokubonelela kukaThixo, iziphumo ezikhulu zifumaneka rhoqo kwiimvelaphi ezithobekileyo kakhulu; njalo ke kwakunjalo kuphuhliso lwenkqubo yokusebenza eyavela phakathi kwethu.

GSAM 442Umbutho Weencwadana Nobuvangeli

GSAM 442.3Malunga nonyaka ka-1870 ingcamango yombutho weencwadana nobuvangeli yaphakanyiswa okokuqala ngoodade abambalwa abazinikeleyo eSouth Lancaster, eMass. Aba dade bazama, okwethutyana, isicwangciso sokuthumela ngeposi amaphepha ethu ebandla kunye namaphepha okushumayela kubantu abohlukeneyo abangaphandle kokholo lwethu, baze emva koko babhalele iileta. Oku kwakhokelela ekubeni abantu abaliqela bamkele inyaniso, nto leyo eyenza ukuba uMfundisi uS. N. Haskell azibuze umbuzo othi, “Kutheni abantu bethu bonke benganakho ukwenza le nto yenziwe ngodade abambalwa?” Ngethuba lonyaka ka-1871, ingakumbi, lo mbandela waxoxwa kakhulu kumaphepha e-Review. Kwintlanganiso ekhethekileyo yeNkomfa Jikelele eyayibanjwe ngomhla wama-29 kuDisemba 1871, uMfundisi uHaskell ekhona kwaye echaza ukunceda koku kwenene, kwapasisa isigqibo esicebisa ukusekwa kwemibutho yeencwadana. OoMfundisi uS. N. Haskell, uW. H. Littlejohn, uJ. N. Andrews, uJ. H. Waggoner, kunye no-I. D. Van Horn bamiselwa njengekomiti yokugqibezela izicwangciso zokumiselwa kwemibutho enjalo.

GSAM 443.1Eli phulo lazisa ixesha elitsha ekuqhubekeni komsebenzi weli myalezo. Kude kube ngoko, ukufundisa inyaniso kwakugxile kakhulu kwiinzame zomshumayeli ophilayo. Kangangeminyaka eliqela uMfundisi uHaskell wasebenza nzima kakhulu ekufundisiseni nasekwaziseni izicwangciso zokwenza umbutho weencwadana nobuvangeli uphumelele. Kukunika ubulungisa kuye ukutsho ukuba ngokwenene wayenguvulindlela kuloo ndlela. Oku akuyonyaniso nje kwimiba yemibutho yeencwadana nobuvangeli yePhondo, kodwa nguye owaye, ngo-1878, wazisa kwiNkomfa Jikelele eyayidibene eBattle Creek isicwangciso sombutho jikelele (owathi kamva wabizwa ngokuba nguMbutho Weencwadana wamazwe ngamazwe), owenza umsebenzi walo kumhlaba ongaphandle kweenkomfa zethu, kungekuphela eMelika, kodwa nakumazwe angaphandle.

GSAM 443Oonobhala Abasebenza Kakuhle—Maria Huntley

GSAM 443.2INkosi ngobulumko bayo yamvusa oonobhala abasebenza kakuhle, ababenguncedo olukhulu kuMfundisi uHaskell kweli phulo. UDade uMaria Huntley wayengomnye wabo abasebenze ngokungoyiki, nkqu naphantsi (kwiminyaka eyalandelayo) kwentlungu enkulu yomzimba, waza wafa esesikhundleni sakhe malunga neminyaka elishumi elinesine eyadlulayo. Ngemizamo yakhe, amathuba amaninzi akhoyo ngoku kumazwe angaphandle afunyanwa kuqala. Abanye oonobhala baye bajoyina kumsebenzi ofanayo, kwaye njengoko umsebenzi wawandisiwe, kwavela imfuneko yoonobhala abathetha iilwimi ezahlukeneyo.

GSAM 444Impembelelo Kumabandla Asekuhlaleni

GSAM 444.1Kodwa esona siphumo sibalulekileyo sokusekwa komsebenzi wombutho weencwadana phakathi kwethu ibe yimpembelelo eyenzileyo ekudaleni nasekwandiseni umoya wobuthunywa phakathi kwemibutho yamabandla asekuhlaleni. Inike wonke umntu ithuba lokwenza into ngokunxibelelana nangokusasaza izinto zokufunda, nokuva inkuthazo yomsebenzi oqondileyo wosindiso lwemiphefumlo.

GSAM 444Ubungqina Obunxulumene Nomsebenzi Weencwadana

GSAM 444.2Ukuze sibonise uhlobo lwesikhokelo esinikweyo, ngomoya wesiprofeto, kumxholo womsebenzi weencwadana nobuvangeli, sicaphula kwi-Testimonies, amaNombolo 29 ne-30:—

GSAM 444.3“Ukuba kukho umsebenzi omnye obaluleke ngaphezu komnye, ngowokusa iimpapasho zethu eluntwini, ngaloo ndlela ulukhokelele ekuphandeni kweziBhalo. Umsebenzi wobuthunywa—ukungenisa iimpapasho zethu emakhayeni, ukuncokola, nokuthandaza nabo nokubathandazela—ngumsebenzi olungileyo, kwaye ngumsebenzi oza kufundisa amadoda nabafazi ukwenza umsebenzi wokupastora.

GSAM 444.4“Asingabo bonke abantu abakulungeleyo lo msebenzi. Abo banetalente nobuchule obugqwesileyo, abaza kuwuthatha lo msebenzi bewuqonda ngokucacileyo nangokucwangcisiweyo, baze bawuphucule ngomdla onganqamleki, ngabo ekufuneka bakhethwe. Kufuneka kubekho isicwangciso esicwangciswe kakuhle kakhulu; kwaye esi kufuneka siphunyezwe ngokunyanisekileyo. Amabandla kuyo yonke indawo kufuneka abe nomdla omkhulu kumsebenzi weencwadana nobuvangeli.”

GSAM 444.5“Umsebenzi weencwadana nobuvangeli ungumsebenzi olungileyo. Ngumsebenzi kaThixo. Akufunekanga uhlaziswe nangayiphi na indlela; kodwa kukho ingozi eqhubekayo yokuwujikelezisa ekude nenjongo yawo yokwenene. Kufuneka abathengisi beencwadi ukuze basebenze kwintsimi yezithunywa. Abantu abangenambeko abakulungelanga lo msebenzi. Amadoda nabafazi abanobuchule, indlela entle yokuthetha, ukubona kwangaphambili okubukhali, neengqondo ezikhethayo, nabo bavakalelwa kukuxabiseka kwemiphefumlo, ngabo abanokuphumelela.”

GSAM 445.1Ukuthengiswa kweencwadi, iipamphlete, kunye neencwadana zexabiso elingaphezulu kwe-$8,000,000, kwisithuba seminyaka elishumi elinesibini, ngamabandla ethu kunye nabathengisi, bubungqina obubonakalayo bexabiso eliphathekayo lomsebenzi woMbutho Weencwadana Nobuvangeli.

GSAM 445Isiprofeto ngokuchasene nobulumko behlabathi

GSAM 445.2Kwakukho ilizwi lesiprofeto elanikezelwayo ngokunxulumene nomsebenzi kwilizwe laseYurophu, elizalisekiswa ngokwenene kangangokuba kufanelekile ukuba likhankanywe apha. Kwakusithiwa ngabasebenzi nabantu ukuba umsebenzi awunakuhanjiswa apho, ingakumbi eScandinavia, njengoko kunjalo eMelika. UNksk. White, okubamangalisa, wathi ayipheleli nje ekubeni inokuqhutywa ngempumelelo, kodwa inokuxhaswa ngendlela efanayo njengaseMelika, kwaye iNkosi yambonisa ukuba ukuba bangathatha umthwalo wokuhlawula isishumi sabo, nkqu nasevuzweni elincinci abalifumanayo, uThixo uya kubaphumelelisa ngokugqithisileyo kunoko bekulindele. Wabaxelela kwakhona ukuba abathengisi banokuthengisa iincwadi ngokubhalisa eScandinavia, kwaye iya kuba yimpumelelo. Abaphathi bezindlu zokupapasha kwezo lizwe bathi, “Akunakwenzeka;” “abazange bathengise iincwadi ngolo hlobo.” Okulandelayo kubonise ukuba oko isithunywa seNkosi esasibonisa kuye kulo mcimbi kwakungaphezulu kakhulu kunobulumko babathengisi beencwadi nabapapashi behlabathi. Impumelelo ibe kunye nomsebenzi wokuthengisa iincwadi apho ukususela ekuqaleni kwawo. Abanye kwabo baphuma baye kuhlawulela lo msebenzi isishumi sengeniso yabo encinci baye baba ngabathengisi beencwadi, kwaye abazixhasi kuphela, kodwa baye bafumana imali eninzi kunangaphambili, kwaye ngenxa yoko baye bakwazi ukuhlawula isishumi esikhulu kakhulu.

GSAM 445.3Kwathengiswa iincwadi zexabiso elingaphezulu kwe-$40,000 ngabathengisi abahambahambayo ngonyaka ka-1895, ezi yayiprintiwe kwindlu yethu yokupapasha eseChristiana, eNorway. Phawula oku njengesinye isiprofeto esizalisekileyo, kwaye oko kwenzeka nangona kwakukho inkcaso evela macala onke, ebandleni nangaphandle kwalo, yokuba oko akunakwenzeka.

GSAM 445.4Ngokubhekiselele kumsebenzi wemibutho yeencwadana eyasekwa ngo-1871 nangemva koko, kukhuselekile ukuthi phantse abantu abaninzi kangangoko baziswe enyanisweni ngemizamo yabasebenzi abanjalo njengoko kwenzeke ngemizamo yobuqu yobulungiseleli. Ngale ndlela, umyalezo upapashwa kuzo zonke iintlanga nezilwimi zomhlaba.

GSAM 446Ubucwebe kunye noMsebenzi weencwadana

GSAM 446.1Inqaku elinomdla lanikwa ingxelo nguMbutho Weencwadana Nobuvangeli eCalifornia ngo-Epreli, 1873. Yayikukuba ubucwebe obabenikwe lo mbutho ngabo babemkele inyaniso kwelo Phondo, ukuza kuthi ga ngaloo mhla, babunyibilikiswe, bavavanywa, kwaye bathengiswa ngexabiso labo lokwenyani legolide nesilivere nge-$200; ukuba le mali yonke ibityalwe kwiincwadana, iipamphlet, kunye neephephancwadi, ezazisasazwe, nokuba umbutho sele unolwazi oluqinisekileyo ngabantu abangamashumi amabini abazisiwe ekwamkeleni inyaniso ngokusebenzisa uncwadi oluthengwe ngemali efunyenwe kwizinto zokuhomba. Phakathi kwabo baziswe kulwazi lwenyaniso ngokufunda kwakukho uJohn I. Tay, waseOakland, Cal.

GSAM 446ISan Francisco iNdawo yamaMishonari

GSAM 446.2Ngo-1875 kwakunikwa ubungqina obubalulekileyo kwibandla laseSan Francisco, ekutsalelwa kubo ingqalelo ngoku ngenxa yokuba bupheleliswe ngendlela emangalisayo. Eli bandla ukususela ekuqaleni belikunyanzelekile ukuba lihirhe iiholo zeenkonzo, kwaye oko bekunendleko enkulu nokungakhululeki, njengoko kungekho luhlu lweentlanganiso ebelinokubanjelwa kuzo kuba ixesha elininzi bezifunelwa ezinye iinjongo.

GSAM 446.3Ngokuhlwa komhla we-14 nowe-20 ku-Epreli, 1875, amalungu aphambili ebandla laseSan Francisco abizelwa ekhayeni likaNksk. J. L. James, Fifth Street, kufuphi neMarket Street, kwaye uNksk. White wasixelela oko wayeboniswe kuye embonweni malunga nale meko, oko kukuba iSan Francisco iya kuhlala iyindawo yobuthunywa, apho umsebenzi unokuqhubeka khona; nokuba imiphefumlo iya kuqhubeka isamkela inyaniso, ukuba lo mba ungalawulwa ngobulumko. Ukuba kwakwakhiwa indlu yokunqula apho abantu babenokumenywa khona, naphi umsebenzi wawunokwenziwa khona, kwakuya kongezwa imiphefumlo kwinani labo, eyathi nayo, ngokulandelayo, yayiya kunceda ukuhlawula iindleko nokuhlawula ityala elalifuneka lenziwe ekulungiseleleni indlu yendibano.

GSAM 447.1UNksk. White uqhubekile wathi wayebone ukuba xa eza kukhuthaza ibandla laseSan Francisco ngokubaluleka kokwakha indlu yonqulo, kuza kubonakala kweli bandla lihluphekileyo ngathi linyathelo elithathwa ebumnyameni; kodwa wayeyalelwe ukuba athi njengoko beya phambili baya kubona isenzo sikaThixo sivula indlela phambi kwabo, inyathelo nenyathelo, nokuba abahlobo baya kuvukiswa kuyo yonke le ndlela, de ekugqibeleni ityala lihlawulwe lonke.

GSAM 447.2Njengomnye wabambalwa ababehlangana kwezo ndibano sele kukhankanyiweyo, ndingatsho ukuba ingcinga yokuba loo ntlawa, phantse wonke umntu kubo ebengamahlwempu ale hlabathi, ucinge ukwakha indlu yendibano enobukhulu obuyi-35 x 80 feet, kwaye kwisixeko apho neyona ndleko incinci yomhlaba ibonakala ifuna imali engange-$6,000 ubuncinane, yayibonakala ngokwenene “njengenyathelo ebumnyameni.” Bakhuthazwa ukuba benze eli nyathelo kuphela ngenxa yentembelo epheleleyo ababenayo yokuba ubungqina obunikezelwe kubo nguNksk. White babusuka eNkosini, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo buya kuzaliseka.

GSAM 447.3Njengoko bendinxulumene nalo msebenzi ngandlel' ithile ukusukela ekuqaleni kwawo kude kube ngoku, ndinqwenela ukutsho apha ukuba obo bungqina bunikwe nguNksk. White buzalisekisiwe kuyo yonke inkalo. Xa saqala ukufuna iindawo, saphumelela ukufumana indawo exabisa i-$6,000 nge-$4,000. Udade omnye wathi angazinikela nge-$1,000 ukuba angakwazi ukuthengisa indawo yakhe. Wakhawuleza wayibeka impahla leyo ezandleni zomthengisi wezindlu nomhlaba, owamxelela ukuba ixabiso lisezantsi kakhulu. Kwiiveki ezimbini, indawo yakhe yathengiswa nge-$1,000 ngaphezulu kwaxabiso awayeyibeke ekuqaleni, yaye isithembiso sakhe sahlawulwa. Omnye, umzalwana ohluphekayo ongazange abone ukuba ibandla lingakhiwa njani, kodwa wathi, “Ukuba iNkosi ithi kufuneka kwenziwe, iya kuvula indlela ngandlel' ithile,” wafumanisa, emangalisiwe, ukuba ilifa lomnye wamalungu osapho lwakhe ligqityiwe ukwabiwa, kwaye ngaloo ndlela waba ngumnini wama-$20,000. Wanikela nge-$1,000 ekwakhiweni, waza wathenga isinye kwisithathu sesiza sebandla apho wayakuzakhela khona indlu yokuhlala, ngaloo ndlela wazisa uncedo kumbutho ngeendlela ezimbini.

GSAM 448Uncedo Olubalulekileyo eSan Francisco

GSAM 448.1Ngaloo ndlela singakhankanya iminikelo emininzi nezenzo zobubele iKomiti eyazifumanayo njengoko yayiqhubeka nokwakha isakhiwo. Kwanele ukuthi isakhiwo sebandla sakhiwa ngeendleko, kunye nomhlaba, ezimalunga ne-$14,000, apho isiqingatha esingaphezulu sazo safunyanwa ngeminikelo phambi kokuba indlu igqitywe. Njengoko iLaguna Street, apho kwakhiwe khona esi sakhiwo, iyinxalenye yesixeko eyayingenazo izakhiwo ezaneleyo zezokufundisa, ibhodi yesikolo yafika yaqesha amagumbi asezantsi ukuze kuqhutywe isikolo phambi kokuba kuxhonywe uphahla lwendlu. Irenti yedola ezingamashumi asixhenxe anesihlanu ngenyanga, eyafunyanwa phantse iminyaka emibini, yahlawulela inzala neendleko zokuqhuba imisebenzi, yaza yashiya umbutho usebenzisa nantoni na enokuyiqokelela ekuhlawuleni ityala eliseleyo.

GSAM 448I-Hydriatic Dispensary

GSAM 448.2Okwangoku kusasele inxalenye encinci yetyala elalifunyenwe ngelo xesha, kwaye kumgangatho ongaphantsi wecawa kufumaneka i-dispensari ye-hydriatic exhotyiswe ngokupheleleyo, yonke ikhululekile kwiingxaki zemali, inexabiso elingaphezulu kakhulu kunetyala eliseleyo, eliya kuba yinto yexesha eladlulayo kungekudala.

GSAM 448.3Inxalenye yobungqina obumalunga nemiphefumlo eyamkela inyaniso izalisekisiwe ngendlela emangalisayo. Asingomashumi nje, kodwa ngamakhulu abantu abamkele ukukhanya kwenyaniso kuloo dolophu, kwaye ngoku basasazeke kwiindawo ngeendawo ezahlukeneyo zomhlaba. Maxa wambi xa ndityelela eSan Francisco, ndibona abantu abaphakathi kwababini ukuya kwabalishumi abamkele inyaniso ukusukela oko ndagqibela ukudibana nabo; kwaye isiphelo asikafiki.

GSAM 449Ukufa kukaMfundisi James White

GSAM 449.1Malunga nonyaka ka-1880 uNksk. White walayelwa ngomoya wesiprofeto ukuba athethe nomyeni wakhe, uMfundisi uJames White, ukuba makayeke uninzi lweenkathazo awayezithwele noxanduva awayeluthwele, aze azishiye ezandleni zabanye abantu abasebatsha, ngelixa yena wayefanele “azilungiselele utshintsho lwakhe lokugqibela”—okuthetha ukuba umdyarho wakhe wobomi emhlabeni wawuza kuphela kungekudala. Waqala ukuwuphulaphula lo myalelo, kwaye kwangethuba elifanelekileyo, kuba ngonyaka ka-1881 imisebenzi yakhe yema, waza walala kuYesu. Ngomhla wama-31 kaJulayi wahlaselwa yifiva yemalariya. Ngomhla wesi-3 ka-Agasti wasuswa ekhayeni lakhe wasiwa kwiZiko lezeMpilo laseBattle Creek, apho wafumana onke amakhathalelo nengqwalasela eyayinokunikezelwa, kodwa kwakungancedi nto. Waqhubeka esiba mandundu. Ukususela ekuqaleni kokugula kwakhe wayenombono wokuba “utshintsho lwakhe lokugqibela” lufikile.

GSAM 449Ingxelo kaMfundisi uSmith

GSAM 449.2Xa ethetha ngesi siganeko, uMfundisi u-Uriah Smith uthi: “Iimeko zokufa kwakhe bezingenakuba zingcono ngaphezu koku. Ngethuba lonke ebephaphile kwiintsuku zakhe zokugqibela ezintathu zokugula, wangqina ukuba akazange abandezeleke ziintlungu. Inqwaba yezihlobo ezinyanisekileyo nezililayo yayimi ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwesakhiwo ngelixa ngaloo njikalanga yeSabatha emnandi ubomi bakhe babushenxela kude kancinci kancinci. Njengokuwela kulala okuzolileyo, watshona ekufeni; yaye xa konke kwakuphelile, uxolo olumnandi lwabonakala lugcwele ebusweni bakhe bonke. Kwakungathi lo mthandazo uphenduliwe:

GSAM 449.4Ngexesha lokusweleka kwakhe wayeneminyaka engamashumi amathandathu neentsuku ezimbini ubudala. Intlonipho awayenayo eBattle Creek yavakaliswa yilo nyaniso yokuba ubuncinane abantu abangamawaka amabini anamakhulu amahlanu babekhona emngcwabeni wakhe, ngomhla we-13 ka-Agasti, kwaye walandelwa ukuya kwindawo yakhe yokugqibela yokuphumla eMangcwabeni ase-Oak Hill nguluhlu lwezithuthi ezingamashumi alithoba anesihlanu kunye nesihlwele sabantu ababehamba ngeenyawo.

GSAM 450.1Kwizibhalo ezininzi zobungqina ezazinikwa emva kokusweleka kwakhe, nezapapashwa kwi-Review, sicaphula oku kulandelayo kwibhalo likaMfundisi uS. N. Haskell:—

GSAM 450.2“Xa ndicinga ngengqiqo yakhe esisiseko phantse kuyo yonke imeko kaxakeka, ububele bentliziyo nobungangamsha bomphefumlo awabonisa kwabo benza impazamo, nkqu nakwabo bamxhatshazayo, nanini na ebona ubungqina benguquko yabo, nothando lwakhe lwento awayekholelwa ukuba ilungile, ndingatsho ngenene, Ubawo kwaSirayeli uwile. Kwaye ngelixa ephumle, umsebenzi, kunye nabantu abaninzi, uza kuqonda ukunqongophala kobulumko bakhe bokubona kwangaphambili nononophelo lwakhe lobubawo.”

GSAM 450.3Uthe akusweleka, iintshaba zethu zathi umyalezo kufuneka ume ngoku. Akunjalo; ezo ziko, phantsi kwesandla sikaThixo, ezazimiselwe nguye, zazimiselwe ukukhula zibe nkulu nangakumbi, zibe “yimithi yokutyalwa yiNkosi,” apho kwakuzakunwenwela khona amasebe amaninzi anenzala.

GSAM 450Uqikelelo Lwemithetho Yonqulo

GSAM 450.4Kudlule iminyaka engamashumi amahlanu anesibhozo ukusukela oko abo babesithi umyalezo wesithunywa sesithathu bathi ixesha liza kufika, ngokweprofeto yeSityhilelo 13, apho abantu baya kungcungcuthekiswa, eUnited States nakwezinye iindawo, ngenxa yokugcina imithetho kaThixo. Kwincwadi ebhalwe nguNksk. White, enesihloko esithi, Early Writings, sifunda oku kulandelayo ngokuphathelele kolu fundiso:—

GSAM 450.5“Isithunywa sathi, ‘Jongani!’ Ingqondo yam yajoliswa kwababi, okanye abangakholwayo. Babexakekile bonke. Ukulangazelela namandla abantu bakaThixo kwakuvuse kwaye kwabacaphukisa. Kwakukho isiphithiphithi, isiphithiphithi kwakuzo zonke iindawo. Ndabona amanyathelo ethathwa ngokuchasene neqela elalinokukhanya namandla kaThixo. Ubumnyama banzima ngakubo; kodwa bema ngokuqinileyo, bemkelekile kuThixo, kwaye bethembele kuye. Ndababona bedidekile; emva koko ndabeva bekhwaza kuThixo ngokuzimisela. Imini nobusuku isikhalo sabo asizange siyeke: ‘Makwenzeke ukuthanda kwakho, O Thixo! Ukuba kungancomela igama lakho, yenzela abantu bakho indlela yokuphuma! Sisindise kwabantu abangakholwayo abasijikelezileyo. Basigwebele ukufa; kodwa ingalo yakho ingazisa usindiso.’”²

GSAM 451.1“Ndaza ndababona ke abantu abaphambhili bomhlaba bebhunga kunye, noSatana nezithunywa zakhe ziphithizela phakathi kwabo. Ndabona umbhalo, iziyalezo zawo zisasazwa kwiindawo ngendawo zelizwe, ezinika imiyalelo yokuba xa abangcwele bengavumi ukuyilahla lenkolo yabo iyodwa, bayeke ukuyigcina iSabata, bagcine umhla wokuqala we-veki, abantu bakhululekile emva kwexesha elithile ukuba bababulale.”³

GSAM 451Ukuhlukunyezwa eMelika

GSAM 451.2Abachasi bethu bathe ukuhlukunyezwa akunakuze kufike kweli lizwe, kuba uMgaqo-siseko wase-United States uchaza ukuba “ICongress ayisayi kwenza mthetho obhekiselele ekumiselweni kwenkolo, okanye owalela ukwenziwa kwayo ngokukhululekileyo.” Kwaye, ukongeza koku, “iBill of Rights” yamazwe amaninzi iyakwalela ukuwiswa kwemithetho yonqulo. Nangona kukho ezi zibhengezo, abantu bethu baqhubekile nokushumayela umyalezo wesilumkiso nolungiselelo oluyimfuneko lokujongana nesi sidubedube.

GSAM 451.3Ngo-1863 kwakhiwa umbutho owawuneenjongo zokutshintsha uMgaqo-siseko wase-United States kunye nemithetho yelizwe, ukuze ube luncedo ekunyanzeliseni inkolo. Ezi ngcinga zifumene abalandeli ngokukhawuleza okukhulu, kwaye umgaqo wokunyanzela abantu ukuba benze okulungileyo, ingakumbi ngokunxulumene nokugcinwa kweCawa, wamkela indawo, kangangokuba ukuhlukunyezwa ngokwenene sele kuqalile kumazwe amaninzi, kwanakwezo imithetho yazo yangeCawa enika amalungiselelo abo bagcina olunye usuku ngokwenkolo yabo, kwaye abantu bavalelwe entolongweni ngenxa yokungayigcini iCawa.

GSAM 452Ukubanjwa Izihlandlo Ezili-116

GSAM 452.1Phambi kwam kukho uluhlu lokubanjwa kwama-116 kwamaSeventh-day Adventist eMelika, ukusukela kunyaka ka-1878 ukuya kutsho ngoMatshi, 1896. Kula, ali-109 afunyaniswa enetyala. Uninzi lwabo luye lwavalelwa entolongweni ukusuka kwiintsuku ezingamashumi amabini ukuya kwezingamashumi amathandathu, kwaye malunga ne-12 kubo banyanzelwa ukuba basebenze kwi-“chain gang” kunye nababulali, izigebenga, kunye nolwaphuli-mthetho abakhohlakeleyo. Kuzo zonke iimeko, kwavunywa ngabo babagwebela ukuba bangabemi abagqwesileyo.

GSAM 452I-Religious Liberty Association

GSAM 452.2Ngomhla wama-21 kaJulayi, 1889, kwakusekwa eBattle Creek, eMich., umbutho obizwa ngokuba yiNational Religious Liberty Association, injongo yawo yayikukuchasa imithetho yonqulo, ukusasaza ulwazi kwisihlwele ngobudlelwane bokwenene phakathi konqulo norhulumente welizwe, nokunceda abo batshutshiswayo ngenxa yesazela sabo. Lo mbutho wenza umsebenzi omkhulu ekusasazeni uncwadi, nasekukhanyiseleni abantu ngemisebenzi neengozi zamaxesha kwisizwe sethu. Enyanisweni, wenza umsebenzi omkhulu ekwandiseni izilumkiso ezikumyalezo weSityhilelo 14:9-12.

GSAM 452Uncedo Lwamaphephancwadi Angekho Phantsi Kwenkolo

GSAM 452.3Ukuhlukunyezwa okwakusukile ngelo xesha ngakumaSeventh-day Adventist kwaxoxwa ngako kwiindawo zokuhlela zamaphephandaba afana neNew York Sun, iNew York World, iChicago Inter Ocean, njl. Njl. Kwavela amanqaku, ethetha ngokukhululekileyo malunga nendlela engalunganga eyathathwa ngakommi waseUnited States ngenxa yokuthobela isazela sakhe, nangokugcina kanye loo mini yonyulwe kumyalelo. Ngenxa yamanqaku ephephandaba anolu hlobo, lo mbandela waziswa kwizigidi zabafundi. Kwinyanga enye, inyaniso esembindini yomyalezo wesithunywa sesithathu yafikelela kubantu abaninzi kunabo besikwazile ukubafikelela kwiminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabini.

GSAM 453Ingqumbo Yomntu Yenziwe Ukuba Idumise INkosi

GSAM 453.1Ngoko ke, kubonakala ukuba iinzame zabantu zokumisa umsebenzi kaThixo, nokufumana imithetho yokuxhasa iSabatha ekhuphisana neyalelwe kumthetho wesine, ziye zavula indlela yokuqhubela phambili ngokukhawuleza kwenyani.

GSAM 453.2Xa ndicingisisa ngoko kugqitywe kwisithuba seenyanga ezimbalwa ngezi ndlela, ndikhunjuzwa ngamandla izibhalo ezibini. Esinye sithi, “Asinakwenza nto nxamnye nenyaniso, kodwa siyayixhasa inyaniso;”⁴ kwaye esinye sithi, “Ngokwenene umsindo wabantu uya kukudumisa: intsalela yomsindo uya kuyibamba.”⁵

GSAM 453Uqikelelo Malunga Nemithetho YangeCawa

GSAM 453.3KwiTestimony No. 32, eyashicilelwa ngo-1885, kukho ingxelo malunga nendlela imithetho yangeCawa eya kupasiswa ngayo eUnited States. Ifundeka ngolu hlobo: “Ukuze bafumane ukuthandwa kunye nenkxaso, abenzi bomthetho baya kunikezela kwisicelo somthetho wangeCawa.”⁶ Siza kuthi okomzuzwana siqwalasele indlela oku sele kufezekisiwe ngayo.

GSAM 453Umthetho weWorld's Fair

GSAM 453.4Ngo-1892 kwenziwa isicelo kwiNkongolo sokuba ivale ukuvulwa kweWorld’s Fair owawuza kubanjelwa eChicago, e-Illinois, ukusukela ngoMeyi ukuya ku-Oktobha walo nyaka, ukuba ungavulwa ngeCawa. Umthetho onjalo wapasisiwa ngomhla we-19 kaJulayi, 1892, phantsi kwexinzelelo elinje kanye njengoko kwakuxelwe kwangaphambili ngasentla. Kwaye makukhunjulwe ukuba eli lixesha lokuqala iNkongolo yase-United States yaseMntla Melika isenza umthetho ngomba weSabatha.

GSAM 453.5Amabandla athumela uluhlu olukhulu lwamagama, kunye nezicelo, kunye neetelegrams, engaceli nje kuphela kwiNkongolo, kodwa ekwazisa ngobubele (?) amalungu eNkongolo “ukuba ngoku sizibophelela thina ngokwethu kwaye sizibophelelana, ukuba ukususela ngoku ukuqhubela phambili, asizukuvotela okanye sixhase kuso nasiphi na isikhundla okanye isikhundla sokuthenjwa naliphi na ilungu leNkongolo, nokuba nguseneta okanye ummeli, oza kuvotela naluphi na olunye uncedo lwalo naluphi na uhlobo kwiWorld's Fair ngaphandle kweemeko ezichazwe kwezi zigqibo.” Imiqathango yayikukuba iFair ivalwe ngeCawa.

GSAM 454Iintetho kwiNkongolo, 1892

GSAM 454.1Njengomzekelo wencoko eyayisenzeka kwiNkongolo, xa umthetho usayilwayo wawupasiswa, funda oku kulandelayo:

GSAM 454.1“Ndingathanda ukubona isibhengezo sokuzikhulula sibhalwe ngokucacileyo, siphakanyiswe yiNkongolo yase-United States. Sibhale. Ningasibhala njani? ... Yibize ngamazwi, ukuba ninobuganga; yixhase, ukuba ninobuganga; bangaphi kwabo bayivoteleyo abazakhe babuya apha kwakhona? Akukho namnye, ndiyathemba. Nizibeka engozini ngokuyichasa.”

GSAM 454Ukuzingca Kwenziwe Libandla

GSAM 454.2Ukuba abo bafunileyo baza baqinisekisa kwiNkongolo ukuba lo mthetho upasiswe bawuthatha njengoloyiso olubalulekileyo kwisicwangciso sabo somthetho wonqulo, kucacile koku kuba omnye waba bafundisi babo baphambili, kwintshumayelo ePittsburg, ePenn., kanye emva koko, wathi:—

GSAM 454.3“Ukuba ibandla linobunzima kwimibutho emikhulu yezopolitiko okanye eyolawulo kubonakaliswe ngokugqibeleleyo kwimicimbi yeWorld's Fair yakutshanje, xa iNdlu yeeNgwevu yaseMelika, eyona ndlu iphezulu elizweni, yaphulaphula ilizwi lonqulo, yaza yapasisa umthetho-sisigunyaziso weWorld's Fair wokusetyenziswa kwe-$5,000,000 nomqathango owamiselwa libandla wokuba amasango alo mboniso mkhulu angavulwa ngeCawa. Le nyaniso inkulu nelungileyo ibonisa engqondweni yomKristu ukuba ukuba oku kunokwenziwa, kunokwenzeka nezinye izinyathelo ezifanayo eziyimfuneko. Ibandla liya lisiba namandla ngokuqhubekayo, kwaye ilizwi lalo liza kuviwa kwixesha elizayo rhoqo kakhulu kunangaphambili.”

GSAM 454.3Ngoko ke sibona ukuba olo bungqina banikwa ngo-1885 buye bagcwaliseka njani kwaye busagcwaliseka.

GSAM 455Ubumbano lwamaKatolika namaProtestanti

GSAM 455.1Kulo mba siza kubhekisa kwesinye isiprofeto esenziwa ngo-1885, esifumaneka kananjalo kwiTestimony No. 32:—

GSAM 455.2“Xa ubuProtestanti buza olula isandla sawo ngaphaya komsantsa ukubamba isandla samandla aseRoma; xa buza olula ngaphaya komgodi omkhulu ukubambana nezandla noNqulo lwemiNyanya; xa, phantsi kwempembelelo yolu manyano lwezinto ezintathu, ilizwe lethu liyakwalela yonke imigaqo yoMgaqo-siseko walo njengorhulumente wamaProtestanti noweriphabliki, kwaye lenza amalungiselelo okusasaza ubuxoki nobuqhophololo bukaPopu, ngoko ke singazi ukuba ixesha lifikile lokusebenza okumangalisayo kukaSatana, nokuba isiphelo sikufuphi.”⁷

GSAM 455.3Ukuze sibonise indlela icandelo lokuqala lesi siprofeto esele liyazaliseka ngayo, kufuneka nje sikhanyise oko kusenzekayo kuthi. Jonga amaProtestanti, abafundisi nabantu, befuna ukuthandwa ngamaKatolika, ebemema ukuba baye kwimibutho yabo, njalo njalo. Makukhunjulwe ukuba phantse akukho ntsalela yento ebonwa ngoku kulo mba eyayibonakala ngo-1885, xa obu bungqina babunikwa.

GSAM 455.4Ukuze kubonakaliswe indlela amaProtestanti afuna ngayo uncedo nesandla samaKatolika, ndicaphula kwi-Kansas City (Mo.) Star yomhla we-18 kuMatshi, 1896.

GSAM 455AmaWesile neSuku likaSt. Patrick

GSAM 455.5Intetho yanikelwa kwi-Coates Opera House, eKansas City, Mo., ngoSuku lweSt. Patrick, umhla we-17 kuMatshi, 1896, nguGqr. Mitchell, umfundisi webandla eliphambili lamaWesile eKansas City. I-Star ithetha ngenxalenye yale ntetho “njengomboniso omncinci onomtsalane.” UGqr. Mitchell waqhwatyelwa kakhulu xa wayesithi oku:—

GSAM 455.6“Ucalucalulo lusana lobungazi. Sinocalucalulo kuba asibazi kakuhle abamelwane bethu. Thina amaProtestanti sifundiswe ukukholelwa kwizinto ezingenakuchazwa ngamaKatolika. AmaKatolika afundiswe ukukholelwa kwizinto ezingenakuchazwa ngamaProtestanti. Ngoku sifumanisa iingcinga zethu eziphosakeleyo ngomnye nomnye xa sisondelana ngokwaneleyo ukuba sikwazi ukujongana size sibambane ngezandla; ukuba besinokwazi ngakumbi ngomnye nomnye besiya kuthandana ngcono. Sahlukene saza sagxeka. Lihlazo kubalandeli bakaKristu osikelelekileyo. Bonke abantu bakaKristu bahlawulelwe ngegazi elinye elixabisekileyo; sixhaswa lubabalo olunye lukaThixo, kwaye silindele ukufikelela ezulwini elinye. Nithi, bazalwana, kungakuhle ukuba siqalane apha emhlabeni.”

GSAM 456.1I-Star iyaqhubeka:—

GSAM 456.2“UGqr. Mitchell waza wajonga kuTata Dalton [umbingeleli wamaKatolika] owayehleli kanye emva kwakhe, waza, elula isandla sakhe, wathi, ‘Nanku, Mzalwana Dalton, isandla sam.’ UTata Dalton waphakama waza wabamba isandla esolulweyo, kwaye njengoko uGqr. Mitchell wayesishukumisa, wathi, ‘Kungaba lihlazo elikhulu ukuba, emva kokuba siphile ixesha elide kwisixeko esinye apha emhlabeni, kufuneke sifumane isithunywa esisazisayo enye kwenye ezulwini. Masazane apha emhlabeni.’ Abaphulaphuli bamqhwabela, yaye emva kokuba uTata Dalton ehleli phantsi, uGqr. Mitchell waqhubeka nentetho yakhe.”

GSAM 456Into Enkulu Negqibayo

GSAM 456.3Sicaphula kwelinye unxibelelwano, oluvela eMelbourne, e-Australia, ngomhla we-18 kuFebruwari 1892:

GSAM 456.3“Zonke izulu ndilibona ngathi liyabukela ukusenzeka kweziganeko. Kuza kubonakala ingxaki enkulu kwingxabano enkulu neyexesha elide kulawulo lukaThixo emhlabeni. Kuza kwenzeka into enkulu neza kugqiba umba, kwaye oko kuza kwenzeka kungekudala.”

GSAM 456“Ilizwe lamaKristu” likaJaji Brewer

GSAM 456.4Iintsuku ezilishumi elinanye emva kokuba olu xwebhu lubhalwe, kwaye phambi kokuba lufike eUnited States, kwenzeka isiganeko esithi amaProtestanti namaKatolika sobabini babhekisele kuso njengesigqibo esibaluleke kakhulu kwikamva leli lizwe. Ndithetha ngesigqibo seNkundla Ephakamileyo yaseUnited States, sokuba “Eli lilizwe lamaKristu,” esenziwa ngomhla wama-29 kuFebruwari, nguMgwebi oNcedisayo uBrewer. Njengoko sele kubonisiwe, ngomhla we-19 kaJulayi kunyaka ofanayo, kwapasisa uMthetho wokuvala ngeCawa kwiWorld's Fair. Abafundisi ababethethelela ngamandla ukupasiswa kwawo, benza izibongozo ezinyulu ngesiseko sokuba njengoko iNkundla Ephakamileyo yayibhengeze eli lilizwe lamaKristu, ngokwendalo iSabatha yamaKristu kufuneka ikhuselwe ekungcolisweni. Kwaye ke iqela leNational Reform lacinga ngolu hlobo. Njengoko eli lilizwe lamaKristu, kufuneka liyamkele uThixo nemithetho yaKhe njengesiseko solawulo, njalo njalo. Ngokwenene kwenzeka into enkulu nenomgqibo kwesi siphikiswano sokugqibela, “kwaye kwenzeka kwangoko.”

GSAM 457Abaprofeti Bamandulo

GSAM 457.1Kwimibono eyayinikwa abakhonzi bakaThixo, abaprofeti, kwakubonakala kukho iintlobo ezimbini—enye ibizwa ngokuba “yimibono evulekileyo,” okanye ezo zazinikwa apho umntu wayenokubonwa ekwimibono; nenye ibizwa ngokuba “yimibono yasebusuku.” Kukhankanywa imibono yokuqala ku-1 Samuweli 3:1, apho kufumaneka khona amava omntwana uSamuweli la magama: “Ilizwi leNkosi lalixabisekile ngaloo mihla; kwakungekho mbono uvulekileyo.”

GSAM 457Imibono Evulekileyo

GSAM 457.2Yayingumbono wohlobo olunjalo (umbono ovulekileyo) apho isandla seNkosi sasikumprofeti Hezekile. Njengoko amadoda amakhulu akwaYuda ayehleli phambi kwakhe, ambona ekumbono ovulekileyo.⁸ Ngesinye isihlandlo umprofeti uDaniyeli wathathwa ngombono esazulwini sabalawuli baseKhaldeya. Ukuba bebehleli, bebengambona embonweni, kodwa endaweni yoko, “kwawa kuwo ukuzamazama okukhulu, kangangokuba babaleka bayozimela.”⁹

GSAM 457Imibono Yobusuku kaNksk. White

GSAM 457.3Imibono yokuqala kaNksk. White yayiyimibono evulekileyo yonke. Ukusukela ngo-1884, ubunjani bemibono butshintshile ngale ndlela, njengoko ngoku iyile nto kuthiwa “yimibono yasebusuku” kwizibhalo, ingezizo nje amaphupha, kodwa kuvela eso sithunywa siqaqambileyo, simnika imiyalelo, njengakwiminyaka yakuqala kwimibono evulekileyo. Iimeko ezininzi “zemibono yasebusuku” zirekhodiwe eBhayibhileni, njengoko kubonakala lula ngokufunda uGenesise 46:2; Daniyeli 2:19; 7:13; IZenzo 16:9; 18:9; 23:11; 27:23-25.

GSAM 458.1Kule mibono yasebusuku kaNksk. White kwenziwe iingqikelelo ezininzi ezibalulekileyo, ezizalisekisiwe ngokuchaneke kakhulu, njengoko kuye kwakhankanywa ngaphambili. Eminye yemibono yamva ndiza kuyiphawula ngoku.

GSAM 458Ukufudusela eWashington

GSAM 458.2Ngo-1893, uNksk. White wathi:

GSAM 458.2“Imisebenzi emininzi kakhulu igxininiswe eBattle Creek ngoku. Ukuba loo misebenzi ibinokwahlulwa yaze yabekwa kwezinye izixeko, apho ukukhanya nolwazi kunokubusisa nezinye iindawo, bekuya kuba kulungiselelo lukaThixo. INkosi ayifuni iJerusalem yesibini eBattle Creek. Kuya kufuneka kubekho uhlaziyo olomeleleyo neenguqu ezinkulu kunye nokudluliselwa kwezibonelelo namaziko ukuba intando kaThixo iza kwenziwa.”

GSAM 458.3KwiNkomfa Jikelele eOakland, eCal., ngoMatshi, 1903, wathi:

GSAM 458.3“Kangangeminyaka kusinikwa isilumkiso kubantu bethu esithi, Phumani eBattle Creek. Kodwa ngenxa yezinto ezininzi ezixabisekileyo ezazisekwe apho, kwakulula ukuhlala, yaye abantu babengaboni isizathu sokuba bafuduke.”

GSAM 458.4“Ukuphendula umbuzo obuzwe ngokuphathelele ekuzinzeni kwenye indawo, ndiphendula, Ewe. Mawususwe iiofisi zeNkomfa Jikelele kunye nomsebenzi wokupapasha eBattle Creek. Andazi ukuba indawo iya kuba phi, nokuba kuselunxwemeni lweAtlantic okanye kwenye indawo. Kodwa oku ndiyakutsho, Ningaze nifake ilitye okanye isitena eBattle Creek ukwakha ngokutsha iofisi yeReview apho. UThixo unendawo engcono kuyo.”

GSAM 458.5Emva kokuva lo myalelo, inkomfa yamakholwa yavotela “ukuba ii-ofisi zeNkomfa Jikelele zisuswe eBattle Creek, eMich., zisiwe kwenye indawo kuNxweme lweAtlantiki.”

GSAM 459.1Kwibhunga leNkomfa Jikelele elabanjwa eBattle Creek, emva kweseshoni yeNkomfa Jikelele, kwavotelwa “ukuba siyavumelana nokumisa ikomkhulu leofisi yeNkomfa Jikelele kufutshane neSixeko saseNew York.” Ngokunjalo, kwakhethwa ikomiti enkulu ukuba ikhangele indawo efanelekileyo. Le komiti yazisa uNksk. White ngesicwangciso sayo, yaza yabuza ukuba ingaba unalo na okunye ukukhanya abanokubanika kona. Ephendula wathi:—

GSAM 459.2“INkosi mayisincede ukuba sihambise izinto ngokuqonda nangomthandazo. Ndiqinisekile ukuba uyathanda ukuba sazi, kwaye kwangoko, ukuba sifanele ukuyimisa phi indlu yethu yokupapasha. Ndonelisekile ukuba ekuphela kwendlela ephephileyo kukuba sikulungele ukufuduka kanye xa ifu lihamba. Masithandaze ukuba asikhokele. Ubonakalisile ngobonelelo lwakhe ukuba ufuna sihambe eBattle Creek....

GSAM 459.3“I-New York idinga ukusetyenzwa, kodwa ukuba indlu yethu yokupapasha mayimiselwe apho andinakutsho. Andinakujonga ukukhanya endikufumeneyo njengokucace ngokwaneleyo ukusithi ndixhase olu shukumo.”

GSAM 459.4Emva kokuchitha iiveki eziphantse zibe mbini bekhangela kwisiXeko saseNew York nakwiidolophu eziyingqongileyo, ikomiti ayizange ikwazi ukufumana indawo efanelekileyo yendlu yokupapasha. Kulo mzuzu kwafika ileta, enomhla wama-30 kuMeyi, apho uNksk. White wathi:—

GSAM 459.5“Njengoko abazalwana bethu bekhangela indawo yendlu yokuprinta i-Review and Herald, bafanele bakhangele iNkosi ngokuzimisela. Bafanele benze oku ngenkathalo enkulu, ukulumka, nomthandazo, kunye nokuqonda rhoqo ukubuthathaka kwabo. Akufuneki sithembele kwingqikelelo yabantu. Kufuneka sifune iingqiqo uThixo anika zona....

GSAM 459.6“Ngokuphathelele ekusekeni eli ziko eNew York, kufuneka nditsho, Lumkani. Andixhasi ukuba libe kufutshane neNew York. Andinakunika zonke izizathu zam ngoku, kodwa ndiqinisekile ukuba nayiphi na indawo ekwiimayile ezingamashumi amathathu ukusuka kweso sixeko iya kuba kufuphi kakhulu. Phononongani iimeko ezingqongileyo kwezinye iindawo. Ndiqinisekile ukuba iingenelo zaseWashington, D.C., kufuneka ziphononongwe nzulu.

GSAM 460.1“Akufunekanga siyimise le ndawo kwisixeko okanye kwimimandla engaphandle engqonge isixeko. Kufuneka imiselwe kwisithili sasemaphandleni, apho inokungqongwa ngumhlaba.”

GSAM 460Ukuxelwa Kwangaphambili Kwesibonelelo Esihle

GSAM 460.2Ngalo lwazi ikomiti yaqala ukukhangela iindawo ezingqonge iWashington ngomthandazo, xa kwafika ileta yesithathu enalo myalelo:

GSAM 460.2“Besithandazela ukukhanya malunga nendawo yomsebenzi wethu eMpuma, kwaye ukukhanya kusifikelele ngendlela ecacileyo kakhulu. Ndinikwe ukukhanya okucacileyo ukuba kuza kuboniswa kuthi ukuba kuthengiswe iindawo apho kuchithwe imali eninzi ngabantu ababenemali ababeyisebenzisa ngokukhululekileyo. Abanini bezi zindlu zibukhosi basweleka, okanye ingqwalasela yabo itsalwa kwenye into, kwaye ipropathi iboniswa ukuba ithengiswe ngexabiso eliphantsi kakhulu....

GSAM 460.3“Ngokukhanya endinikwe kona, ndiyazi ukuba, okwangoku, ikomkhulu le-Review and Herald kufuneka libe kufutshane neWashington.”

GSAM 460Indawo Ebikezelweyo Ifunyenwe

GSAM 460.4Ngesi saziso esandleni, ikomiti yaqala ukukhangela indawo kwiSithili saseColumbia, kodwa akukho mhlaba wafunyanwayo ngexabiso elingaphantsi kwewaka leedola nge-acre. Ekugqibeleni ingqwalasela yabo yatsalelwa eTakoma Park. Ingxelo yekomiti yile ilandelayo:—

GSAM 460.5“Sifumene umhlaba ongangee-acre ezingamashumi amahlanu kanye ngaphandle kweSithili, kodwa ngaphakathi kwemida yesixeko saseTakoma Park, esinokuwuthenga ngeedola ezingamawaka amathandathu, okanye ngeedola ezili-120 nge-acre. Siyiphicothe ngokucokisekileyo le ndawo. Sifumanise ukuba kwiminyaka ethile edlulileyo yanyulwa ngugqirha waseBoston ukuba ibe yindawo yeziko lezempilo. Kuthiwa wachitha malunga namashumi amathandathu amawaka eedola kwixabiso lokuthenga nasekuyicoceni kuwo onke amatyholo, izigodo, kunye nenkunkuma. Iingxaki zemali zamthintela ekuphumezeni izicwangciso zakhe, kwaye loo ndawo yadlulela ezandleni zendoda enomboleko kuyo, nto leyo eyamxabisa iidola ezilishumi elinesihlanu lamawaka.

GSAM 461.1“Abemi baseTakoma Park, abamelwe ngusodolophu nabanye beenkokeli zabo, basamkele ngobubele obukhulu kule ndawo, baza basiqinisekisa ngentsebenziswano enobuhlobo ekuphumezeni izicwangciso zethu.

GSAM 461.2“Kuko konke ukuhamba nokukhangela kwethu, asifumananga ndawo ingaphinda izalisekise ngokupheleleyo iinkcukacha zobungqina njengale. Sikholelwa ukuba isandla sikaThixo sisikhokelele kwindawo anqwenela ukuba sihlale kuyo.”

GSAM 461.3Ngenxa yokuzaliseka okuninzi kobungqina obuboniswe kwesi nakwizahluko ezidlulileyo, masithi “sikholwe eNkosini uThixo wethu, size simiseleke; sikholwe umprofeti wakhe, size siphumelele,” ukuze silungiselelwe iziganeko ezisazayo, kwaye singothuswa zizo.
