Note and Comment

The conspicuous American vice, says The Independent, is “the body and soul-ruining vice of unbridled impatience.” But just at this time, in contrast with the impatience which the unrestful spirit of the world stirs up in the natural heart, the Christian virtue of patience is to be strikingly revealed. For in connection with the prophecy of the giving of the last gospel message to the world, it is written, “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Impatience is lack of self-control; and as the Spirit of God is withdrawn from the world, its inhabitants will be more and more given over to the spirit of passion and strife.
