Recognizes a New Religious Wave Gathering

By W. A. C.

A RETIRED lawyer and prominent business man in Missouri writes us as follows:—
“It is my pleasure to thank you for the set of ‘Religious Liberty Leaflets’ which you so kindly sent me. I am reading them with a great deal of pleasure, and they indicate to me, in connection with other things, that a new religious wave is gathering in this country, and will sweep over it equal to the Reformation. “Hoping you success, I am, “Yours truly.”
We are reminded by this of a statement published in the REVIEW of Nov. 29, 1892, reading as follows:—
“We are near the close of the controversy between the Prince of light and the prince of darkness; and soon the delusions of the enemy will try our faith, of what sort it is. Satan will work miracles in the sight of the beast, and deceive them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast.” But though the prince of darkness will work to cover the earth with darkness, and with gross darkness the people, the Lord will manifest his converting power. A work is to be accomplished in the earth similar to that which took place at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the days of the early disciples, when they preached Jesus and him crucified. Many will be converted in a day; for the message will go with power.”
It is truly encouraging to note that some recognize in our literature the agency for a genuine and wide-spread reform. W. A. C.
