The Irresistible Progress of God’s Truth
WHEN Jesus made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and the Pharisees desired his disciples to be rebuked because they cried “Hosanna,” Jesus replied: “I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” In the progress of God’s truth in the earth a similar hour has been reached,—an hour when it is to go with irresistible power to all lands, when there is to be delay no longer; and if those to whom this message is entrusted should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out the words of warning. The time when things ought to be, or might be, that would hasten the work of God, is in the past, and we have reached the time when all necessary things to its progress are to be. We can hasten the work; we can no longer hinder it.
