Amid Signs of the End

The prophecies picture the closing witness of the “everlasting gospel” as being carried to the nations in times when “wars and rumors of wars” were to abound, with “distress of nations,” perplexity and unrest, famines, and “earthquakes, in divers places.”
This year our workers in various lands have met war and revolution, strikes and tumults, famine conditions, and earthquakes. Only the other day Brother J. G. Pettey, of the Guatemala English School, Central America, wrote:—
There is some unrest here in the city at present, as there has been for some time, over the many earthquakes. About two weeks ago they reported thirty shocks in one night. It seemed to me there were more. It was a sleepless night with us. Our school attendance has been somewhat reduced by the shocks, but we hope all will get quiet again soon, and that the children will come back.
Thus in all the four quarters of the earth the work is being pushed forward amid just such conditions as the prophecies describe as abounding in the last days. Of a truth,—
“The signs that show his coming near Are fast fulfilling year by year.” W. A. S.
