Prepared to Meet God

“I MET only one man who did not think that the world was coming to an end after the shock had lasted twenty seconds,” says special correspondent Frederick Palmer of Collier’s Weekly, speaking of the earthquake. The like impression came upon those who witnessed the falling of the stars in November, 1833. The signs and the judgments of God which herald the approach of the final day clear the sin-darkened minds of men while they see or experience them, and they are brought as it were face to face with God; but usually the impression is quickly lost when the experience is past. The day is coming when all men will have to meet God face to face, and men are given frequent reminders that there exists a sovereign Intelligence in the universe whose kingdom ruleth over all, and whose will must some day be done in this sin-ruled earth. God is admonishing the world to be prepared to meet him in peace.
