By H. S. Gurney

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

From Bro. Gurney.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS in the faith of the Lord's soon coming: We are not following "cun-ningly devised fables," but the "sure word of prophecy." God is not slack as some men count slackness. The Lord is coming to this generation, but who has an ear to hear? I am often led to admire the harmony and beauty of the word of prophecy, in relation to its fulfillment in the closing scenes of the Gentile dispensation, as well as the Jewish. Take what view we may of present history in the world among our fellow-men, and the echo rings upon our ear, The Lord is coming! Even the hearts of men utter the same voice. It is the day of God's preparation. He has spread out his signs in the heavens and among men, and sent his angels to proclaim through the midst of heaven; but how slowly do we follow up the work! how long will his long-suffering to us ward continue?

H. S. GURNEY.
