The Signs of the Times.

By Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle

AN ACROSTIC.

The Master is coming, the Lord of the vineyard, High up in the heavens he hangeth his signs, Earth's nations beholding, with awe and amazement, See written in nature, the signs of the times. I gaze o'r the earth, and behold desolation, Gaunt famine and pestilence over the land, No longer lie dreaming, ye saints of Jehovah, Say, why will ye ever, in idleness stand? Oh rouse for the conflict, ye slumbering Zion! For earth must be warned of its terrible doom. The friends of our Master must herald the message, Haste, haste to the Refuge, while yet there is room! Earth's bosom is rent by internal convulsions. The "hearts" of the mighty "are failing for fear," In vain do blasphemers proclaim "peace and safety," Mid signs that portend that destruction is near, E'er mercy departeth and sealeth thy fate, Speed, speed to the Refuge, e'er thou art too late!
Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle.
