DO NOT DRAW BACK.

By A. C. BOURDEAU

TRULY we have no reason to draw back. We are too near the end to think of looking back. We are well able to go up and possess the goodly land. Every thing around us, and in connection with the cause shows, that “now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far, spent the day is at hand; let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Rom. xiii, 11, 12. Soon the third angel’s message will go with power, and we want to prepare to have a part in the good work then. In order for this we must awake out of sleep, realize the solemnity of the times in which we are living, and come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty. May we be up and doing, and so occupy the little time we have in which to prepare, that when our Redeemer shall come to gather his people to himself in glory, we may be enabled to say, “Lo this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us; . . . we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
