A Better Day Is Coming
By Editor
A Better Day Is Coming.—We are no pessimist in the sense of believing that the ultimate end of everything is destruction; but we do not believe that good is the natural fruit of evil. It is a law inexorable that whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. It is as true of the world at large as it is of the individual man. The old Idumean patriarch well asked, "Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?" and he well answers, "Not one." The world is corrupt, carnal, selfish, sinful. Its only hope, the only hope of every individual soul, is the acceptance of Christ by each one. But this will not be. God has predicted it. Yet beyond all the crimes and sin and wickedness and blackness of despair dawns the golden morning of Christ's everlasting reign, ushered in by his coming in power and glory. Those who have come to know him now, in this life, will know him then as a Friend, Saviour, and King, while those who neglect him here, but choose selfishness and sin in his stead, will meet the fate of the sin they have chosen, namely, utter negation of being. It is for that glorious day we look. All the evils we now see are, in the light of God's word, but omens of the coming dawn of an eternal day which shall never know a westering sun.
