THE COMING STORM.

By JOHN CLARKE

The world has passed its halcyon days—its pleasant times. Dark days of heavy trouble are coming. The political horizon is already overcast with dark clouds, and the distant roar of the awful storm is heard and heeded only by those who are watching. Are God's people awake, and noting the occasional, lurid flash of the coming storm? Are we “cutting loose from the world,” and getting ready? Do we realize that time is short? that the day of trouble hastens? Yea, greatly; all unobserved, both by the world and worldly professors? Soon the lightnings will flash. Soon the roar of the storm will be upon us; and during the lulls of this storm of wrath (self-brought upon a guilty world) will be heard the wails of anguish and groans of despair from those who are unprepared. This time is coming. Let us not be found sleeping. Brethren, awake.
JOHN CLARKE.
