He Will, but When?

A daily paper, speaking of the Martinique disaster, says:—
What a tiny and fragile thing is man; how absolutely at the mercy of nature's forces—yet, in time, he will regulate absolutely this small planet which is given to him. He will control its volcanoes as he now controls its waterfalls and rivers. He will control its storms, its rainfall, and its heat.
Yes, he will; but it will not be man in his present condition, nor the earth in its present condition. God designed that normal man should control a normal earth; both are abnormal now. When that time comes that God shall have gathered out of this world that holy people who shall serve Him forever, then will He restore both man and earth to their normal state, and the man Christ Jesus shall reign forever. Unto Him, the representative man, the great Head of the new race, shall return "the first dominion." But in that world will be no calamity, no sorrow, no death, because there is no sin.
