Signs of the Approaching End
By W. E. Morton
BRO. W. E. MORTON writes from Deering, Maine: A look around upon the world at large is sufficient to convince any one that the end of probation is near and hasteth greatly. Iniquity abounds. The love of many has waxed cold. The state of society to-day is accurately described by Paul in 2 Tim. 3: 1, 5. All nature seems to proclaim that some great event is at hand. The commotion of the elements on sea and land, the unrest of the nations, the condition of the popular churches, and above all, the rapid advancement of present truth, are sure signs to the student of prophecy that we are rapidly approaching the heavenly meeting. The rapidity with which events move forward, and the results that are accomplished, should awaken the thought that the closing scenes of this world's history are but a little way in the future, and may be nearer than many of us suppose. Oh! that the honest in heart would awake to the importance of keeping all God's commandments and the faith of Jesus. The prize is worth the pains necessary to gain it. We cannot afford to lose eternal life. Then let us battle valiantly with sin and Satan, and in a little from this, we shall come off conquerors.
