BEREAN LIBRARY STUDY.

(May 6-12.)

THAT part of the prophecy of Daniel which related to the last days Daniel was bidden to close up and seal "to the time of the end." In these Circle lessons even, we have the evidence that we are living in the time of the end; for have we not all been able to take this entire book, verse by verse, and gain an intelligent idea of its application and meaning, as well as to see the beautiful thread of harmony running through the whole? Never could we have done this with a "sealed" book. Let us praise the Lord for revealing to us his truth, and show that we believe it by carrying the blessed message to all the world.

Lesson 23.
