Are Adventists Trying to Scare People?

By Editor

A correspondent suggests that "you Adventists are trying to scare the people into your church by telling them that the world is coming to an end." Our friend is greatly mistaken. We find that the people are already scared because of the troubles and calamities that are manifestly filling the whole earth, and we are seeking to soothe and comfort them by telling them the glorious truth that Jesus, the Friend of sinners, is about to return to earth, to destroy all the evil, and to give life and immortality to as many as will receive Him. If the thought that Jesus is coming scares you, it is because there is something wrong with you.
