Home, Prophecy, and the Fresno Camp Meeting

When the representatives of the world come to see you what do you show them? What do they see in your treasure house? Read, “What Have They Seen in Thy House,” on page 2.
“Heaven in the Home.”—If there is a place on earth where heaven can be found it ought to be in the home. The Life Boat is doing its best to bring it into homes which have been cursed by drink and all its attendant and connected evils. See notice on page 14.
There are some striking things noted in the way of prophecy and fact in the article entitled, “The Reign of Morgan” in our Outlook department. But lulled to sleep by the wind of commercialism, which is also the brew of Babylon (Rev. 18:11-20), how few see the signs of the swift coming day of doom for all that is not of God.
How to get to the Fresno Camp Meeting is told on page 14. But the principal things after all are the heart to go and the means with which to go. But surely he who could spend as much or more on an outing or mere vacation could afford to go to camp-meeting. Take that meeting as an outing to get good and give good. It will well repay you.
We call especial attention to the article on the “Little Horn of Daniel Seven,” on page 6. Read the chapter itself (page 15) in connection with the article. We have reached a time when the great system of the Papacy is forging into power and influence, religious and political. We are not condemning those who believe it to be the very agency and representative of the government of God in the earth; it is the system, not the people, which we set forth. Its work upon nations may be seen in Spain, Italy, Ireland and the South American States. It is not that these peoples are naturally behind others; it is the system of dominant religion in these various countries which have brought these governments and peoples where they now are socially, politically, and educationally. We ask our readers to study the question in the light of prophecy. If the positions in the article are true, the Papacy is forever doomed, whatever man may think of it; but who wants to unite with an utterly, intrinsically lost cause? God has a better one.
