Solemn Reflections.

By Nancy Gibbs

It is in the day of God's preparation. He is preparing a people for translation. The hour of his judgment is come. Soon there will be a famine in the land; not a famine for bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, from the north even to the east. They shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. At that time, though Noah, Job, and Daniel, were in the land, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should but deliver their own souls by their righteousness. The watchmen will have left the walls, not one sermon more to be preached, not one prayer to be offered; probation closed; the decree gone forth, He that is holy and he that is filthy, let them so remain. It will then be said, Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; but ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof; I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh, Alas! for the day; for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty, shall it come. Truly, the night is far spent, and the day is at hand. Soon Jesus will come, robed in glory and honor, to gather his ransomed ones home. Shall we be ready? brethren and sisters; shall we be ready? Shall we be able to say, This is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us? Was there ever a people that had so much light and truth as this people? The Lord help us to walk in the light, and purify our souls by obeying the truth. NANCY GIBBS.
