Earthquakes in Divers Places.
By T.
On August 30, three distinct earthquake shocks were felt at Reno, Nevada. Chandeliers were rocked and dishes shaken. The direction of the quake was from east to west. At the same time, slight shocks were felt in various parts of Northern California. On August 31, Guadalajara, Mexico, was violently shaken; the shock lasting for several seconds. This quake followed a warning that had been given out the day before that Guadalajara was resting over a volcano that is liable to break forth at any moment and disrupt the whole of the surrounding country and destroy the city. We should make serious note of these increasing disturbances, and the storms that are sweeping over so many parts of the world. They are strikingly fulfilling the predictions concerning the conditions that will exist just before the second coming of Christ. And we may know that we have only seen the beginning of what lies before us. These things will increase in frequency and violence. But if you know what they signify, and are resting in the power of Him who is overruling it all, you have not a single terror. How glorious it is to know the real meaning of the conditions of this time, and not have to be distressed by the despair of uncertainty!
