A NEW automobile record was recently established between San Francisco and New York — five days, three hours, and thirty-one minutes. An average speed of 27.14 miles an hour was maintained for the entire distance of 3,476 miles. Yet our fathers are still telling us of their tedious journeys, which took six months or more, in crossing this continent. When Daniel had his prophetic vision, some 2,500 years ago, he was bidden: "Shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Dan. 12: 4. Observe the expressive language of the prophecy: "Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Never in all the history of the past was there possible such a running "to and fro" as there is to-day. Men are crossing this great continent — yes, t h e y are even circumnavigating the globe — with greater ease and comfort than our fathers enjoyed in visiting adjoining counties. Those who will take time to meditate must be impressed with the great fact that we have entered upon an entirely new era. We have no precedents in the past by which to judge what is confronting us in this world. We must depend solely upon the light of prophecy if we are guided surely. It is in "the time of the end" that, according to the prophecy, knowledge is to be greatly increased. It is in "the time of the end" that "many shall run to and fro"; and it is also in "the time of the end" that the seal of prophecy shall be broken, and that men may understand, from the clear shining of the prophetic page, what is next to appear in the great drama of the world's history. Prospects that are freighted with an eternity of joy are before those who will take the pains to stand with God to-day under the brilliant light of His divine word and upon the firm foundation of His eternal truth.
