Get Ready for the Coming of the Lord
By Geo. Smith
DEAR BRETHREN: How important that we get ready for the coming of the Lord! Do we realize that he is coming to change us from mortality to immortality, take us to those mansions prepared for his people, bring us to all the joys of heaven, to holy angels, to the society of all the blood-washed throng, and to enjoy their company forever; even for ever and ever! Think of it, cold-hearted professor, and while the poor of the Lord (but rich in faith) are rising to fall no more, and are putting their shoulders to the car of salvation to move it onward, and you apparently with your arms folded; think of it, and be not deceived, for God is not mocked. The coming of the Lord draweth nigh. A few more short months and our work will be over, and if faithful to the end we shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of our God. Yours in the patience of the saints. Laporte, Ind., Oct. 19th.
