The Time Is at Hand

"The Time Is at Hand."—What time?—The time spoken of by the Saviour, when He said there would be "upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth." There is a great conflict on,—political conflict, religious conflict, and labor's conflict with capital. Even the elements are in periodical turmoil more frequent than ever before. Every one whose interests are centered in earth is looking forward with more or less of foreboding. But the one whose treasure is laid up in heaven, whose citizenship is in the kingdom of God, can say: "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us." Ps. 62:5-8.
