By L. A. S.

THE sunset of time will be a glorious sight viewed from the mount of Christian consecration.

IF you are a Christian, there is something in your countenance which indicates the fact to those you meet.

THE disposition on the part of some to say, “My Lord delayeth His coming,” is one of the very last signs of Christ’s appearing.

WHAT about that talent God has intrusted you with, that you have buried away in a napkin? When are you going to bring it to the light, and make use of it in the Master’s service?

IT is in heaven that the one hundred and forty-four thousand will sing the “song of Moses and the Lamb,” but they will have learned the song before they leave the scene of their earthly conflicts.

THE most valuable education is that which, though it confers no diploma, bestows upon the student the far more valuable gift of eternal life; which education is to know God, as revealed in the gospel of His Son.

THE agencies of the earth’s destruction are already prepared, and the only reason why the earth continues on as before is that the “four winds” are being held back by four mighty angels. All that is necessary to bring the final storm is that the four angels simply let loose — cease to hold back — the four winds. They are holding on to the winds in order that we may have time to let loose from the world.

WHEN submarine boats first made a bid for recognition as of value in naval conflicts, they were scoffed at and “turned down” by government officials here and in Europe. Now, however, after one of these vessels has succeeded in entering a military harbor in France, affixing a torpedo to a battle-ship, and departing again entirely unobserved, a change has come over the sentiments of the Powers, and we find England giving an order for five, while France already has a considerable number completed. But if vessels of this class are good for anything, they are good to sink battle-ships; hence when the great naval Powers decide to invest in them, it means that these Powers are losing confidence in the great ironclads of their seemingly formidable navies, upon the building of which they have squandered such fabulous sums.
