In This Generation

By B. F. PURDHAM

If we as a people have no definite message for the world, then we have no good reason for our denominational existence. But if we have a definite and pointed message to bear to the world, then we have good reason for our existence, and the Lord of that message will hold us to a strict account for the use we make of that message. Beyond the shadow of a doubt we have such a message, and it can be summed up in these few words: Christ will come, and the work will be finished, in this generation. According to Matthew 24 “this generation” is quite far advanced in point of time, hence the important and timely message to “rise and finish the work.” Thanks be to God for the assurance that “there shall be delay no longer.”
B. F. PURDHAM, of West Virginia.
