The Present Age.

By C. L. Gregory

We live in an age proverbial for its infidelity and atheism. Consequently, vice and irreligion have taken possession of a large majority of the present generation, and with all their boasted advancement in the arts and sciences, their mental and physical energies have degenerated.

The unprecedented light of revelation which has been poured upon the world the past few years, has been rejected by the multitude, and they seem to have been given up to work all manner of iniquity, “like raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame.” It ought to rest with solemnity upon the mind of every Christian, that the gospel necessarily, “proves a savor of life unto life, or of death unto death,” upon every one under its glorious light.

I do rejoice that the third angel’s message is destined to do its pure work, and is going to “peoples, nations, tongues, and kings,” and thus a people will be prepared to welcome the coming of Christ, and be translated into his glorious kingdom.
