Watch.

By R. F. Cottrell

The special injunction to the church of the present time is to watch. In view of the time when the signs of the second advent should become historical facts and that great and all-important event should be at the door, the blessed Saviour gives and emphatically repeats the admonition to all to watch, to be in preparation for the event. “Lest coming suddenly,” said he, “he find you sleeping.” Worldly-mindedness prevails; and unless we watch we shall be carried away with the tide of worldliness. Constant watchfulness and prayer, and a daily consecration to God, are necessary to stem this tide and preserve in ourselves the love of God. Let us keep in mind the admonition to watch. R. F. Cottrell.
