THE remarkable unrest and discontent of these times is very strikingly shown by the numerous advocates for reform. Nearly every one acknowledges that the world is greatly in need of reforming. All affirm that the times are sadly out of joint, and that problems confront us that portend a world-wide revolution. To solve these problems there are hundreds of reform societies in the field. The Social and Political Conference that was convened in New York on June 28, was called for the purpose of combining these reform elements with a view to create an influence that would work a reformation. And while some have thought that much was accomplished, yet it is manifest that but very little was done more than to emphasize the fact that there are crying evils in the land,—and evils, too, that must be corrected soon if disaster is to be averted. There is just one sure reform for all of these evils. And that reform is their destruction at the second coming of Christ. All the events of these times show that the second coming of Christ is right at hand, and toward that time every true reformer should turn his eyes, and furthermore, his whole heart and soul should be cast into the work of telling the world that the Lord is coming, and the exhortation should be heralded with fervor, “Watch ye therefore; for ye know not when the Master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning; lest coming suddenly He find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.” Mark 13: 35-37.
