“WONDROUS TIMES.”

The above is the heading of an article in The Whispers of Peace, edited by S. H. Platt, Methodist minister, 202 Montague St., Brooklyn, N. Y.; and the following is an extract from the article:—
“The time-honored dream of a regenerated humanity dwelling in peace, with the lion and the lamb harmlessly lying down together, is being dispelled by the hopelessness of the outlook. . . .
“Meanwhile the prophecies are running out. The battle of Gog and Magog seems to be waging. The temporal power of the Pope has been stripped away. Distress of nations is certainly here. Amid it all, the most devoted students of God’s word all over the world are looking for the speedy coming of the Lord from heaven. . . .
“This bent of the deepest religious thought, this spontaneous kindling of the longings of the most spiritual leaders of His people does most surely portend some wonderful change. And what change so likely to occur when the grand prophetical national visions pass into history fulfilled, as that final marshaling of events that ushers in the day of days?
“Let every lover of his Lord be on the watch-tower, ‘for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.’”
