Watchfulness in Perilous Times
Sister S. S. Rogers writes from Evans' Mills, N. Y., Apr. 7th, 1858: "I am convinced we are living in perilous times; that men have become lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud and haughty, having a form of godliness, but destitute of the power. Truly they are lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Should not these things admonish us to live more watchful and more prayerful lives to be looking forward for the final consummation of all things. I am one of the lonely ones of earth, and often ask myself the question, 'Who will be able to stand when he appeareth?' In view of these things, I desire an interest in your prayers that I may be one of the happy number to enter the rest that remains for the people of God."
