Wireless Telegraphy and Gospel Truth
When about one hundred miles out to sea the steamer Kroonland broke her shaft. The fact was immediately telegraphed back to England by the wireless instrument that she had on board. One of the great wonders of this time is the development of wireless telegraphy to the point where any ship at sea may make known her position, and if she is in distress let that matter be known also. There is a time just before the world when the vital truths of the Gospel for this age will be brought to the front and become the theme of rigid and scrutinizing observation. These truths will be made an issue the same as great national or international questions of state have been so often made issues, and thus become the theme of world-wide discussion. God is preparing against that time, so that even the mariner at sea will not be shut out from the privilege of having the burning truth for this day so that he can study it as closely as his fellow man who is on the land. When that time arrives, the discussion will be keen, and soon men will range themselves on one side or the other, the great Gospel of the kingdom will do its work in all the world, and then, according to the promise of the Master, the end will come.
