The Better Land

By Editor

All the countries of the earth from which missionaries and soldiers have gone forth to China, are in mourning; for there is scarcely a church or town in them which does not know some of those who are slain. We sorrow with them. But, dear souls, do not all these fearful calamities which are upon the world make you long for the better land? In that soon-coming kingdom, ushered in by the second coming of Jesus Christ, there will be no famine, no strife, no war. This is but the testing-ground for that, into which every soul may enter, not by strife of arms, but through Jesus Christ.
