NEED YOUR HELP.

By Ed. W. Thomann

Valparaiso, Chile.

AN extensive portion of Chile was severely shaken by a terrible earthquake the night of August 16, 1906. Sad, it is, but nevertheless true, that the most of the people that died that awful night were not prepared. Not to all of them had the Gospel been preached. Only a few, if any, really knew what communion with God meant. And we know that in every place (Luke 21:11) have to come great earthquakes and other noted signs of Christ's near second coming. But, O how sad! the people do not know enough of the Gospel even to study the prophecies to see and understand that the end is at hand.

I am so exercised when I think of the fate that awaits the people, that I would like to be one thousand preachers at once, and go to all places to proclaim the message of the judgment. Now it is high time to appeal to Jesus in earnest for forgiveness and power. Yet I am only one, and so I am anxious to awaken others to help. O to help to awaken the people! Dear reader, your help is needed, do not let souls perish without telling to them that Jesus wants them to be holy and saved.
