A FEW QUESTIONS.

By C. Lawton

Do we realize that we are living in a grand and awful time? Oh that this thought could burn its way down deep into our hearts, and stir us up to earnest effort. Again, have we a vivid sense of the power and deception of Satan, the great deceiver of mankind, who is working with all power in these last days, and if it were possible would deceive the very elect? If so, do we think we can cope with this terrible foe, who is at war with the remnant of God’s people, unless we are clothed with the whole armor? Then is it not dangerous to delay the work of preparation? Is it not time to rally and make a mighty effort to rise with the message, if we expect to receive the refreshing, and stand with the remnant on Mount Zion?

Will any one defer this work until it is too late? Yes; many believers in present truth will be so tardy and careless that the message will close, and they will be left to take up the sad lamentation, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” Terrible thought! but far more terrible will be the reality.
