COMMUNICATIONS.

By H. M. Kenyon

'Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another.'

From Bro. Kenyon.

BRO SMITH:—I feel to praise the Lord that he has opened my eyes in these last days to see where we are in the world's history. Sometimes, when thinking of these things, it seems almost an impossibility that they should come to pass in my day; but when I look at the signs of the times, my doubts are all removed and the light shines as clearly as the sun at noon-day.

When I see how the world hates and despises those that are striving to do the will of God, I think of the words of our blessed Saviour: 'If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.' John xv, 19.

I feel like looking away from these dark things of earth, and placing my eyes on the prize which I believe lies just before us. Praise God for the blessed hope! I believe with all my heart that we soon shall see the Lord descending in all his glory. Then will all the tribes of the earth mourn when they shall see the Son of man, coming with power and great glory.

I feel willing to take my place among the humble few who keep the commandments; for I believe we shall be exalted in due time. May God help us all to humble ourselves under his mighty hand; and we shall soon reap a rich reward if we faint not.
