THE SEALING TIME.

"Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads." Rev. 7:3.
WHILE angels hold the winds of strife, Soldiers of Christ, arise; And onward with the message go, Till you shall win the prize. Pause not nor linger by the way, Remember ye Lot's wife! Look not behind, nor more delay; The prize is endless life.
Though for awhile there may be peace, Yet long it will not last; The stillness of the deep blue sea Omens the stormy blast. And it is so with kingdoms now, And calm upon the main; But war and tumult soon more rife Will spread o'er earth again.
Up, then, and work and watch and pray, Nor seek here for repose; Throw ease and pleasure quite away, Our work here soon will close; And then, if faithful we have been, We'll have a rich reward; Eternal life shall be our gain— So saith the faithful Word. —Selected.
