Holiness for the Day of Christ’s Coming
By Cornelia Rice
BRO. SMITH :—As communications from brethren and sisters are very cheering to me, being all the interviews I have with those of like precious faith, I wish to say to them through the Review, that I am looking for the fulfillment of that promise made by the angels to the disciples in Bethany : the appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. But who will abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth? I have realized of late that nothing but holiness would stand the test of that day; for our God is a consuming fire, and all but holiness will be consumed with the brightness of his coming. I feel willing to abide by the truth, and stand or fall with it; for I know if we fall, we shall rise again; for though truth is fallen in our streets and equity cannot enter, yet there is a resurrection power in it, and it will triumph over error.
