Awake and Prepare for Christ’s Appearing
SR. C. WEBSTER writes from Gratiot Co., Mich.: I believe we are living in the last watch of time, when drowsiness is insensibly stealing over the inhabitants of the earth. My prayer is that the Lord will help us to awake, and get ready for his appearing. Oh! that we may adorn our profession by a well-ordered life and godly conversation. Often my heart is pained as some trifling conversation escapes my lips, and I am led to exclaim, Shall I ever overcome all my besetments, and be pure in the sight of my Heavenly Father? “Since therefore I can hardly bear
What in myself I see,
How low, how vile, must I appear,
Most holy God, to thee.”
