The Solemn Day at Hand
By J. W. WATT
THIS is a solemn hour indeed. Sixty years ago in October, according to a plain prophecy, Jesus, our High Priest, entered the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary, and the antitypical day of atonement began. In the earthly sanctuary service, the work of atonement occupied but one day, a comparatively short time,— just one day of the year. Can we believe that the antitypical work of atonement will continue much longer? Surely probation will soon close. In view of this, do we not need to seek the Lord? Many have gone along year by year dissatisfied with their own experience, thinking, “Sometime I shall gain a better experience, and walk with the Lord.” My brother, my sister, is not the present a favorable time to make a full and complete consecration to God of all that we are or ever can be, either in this world or in the world to come? May the Lord, by his Spirit, help us all to awake out of sleep, and to put on the whole armor of God and work for the salvation of souls as we have never worked before.
