The Feelings of a Believer in Present Truth.
By H. S. Gurney
I LOVE the Lord. I love the present truth, and all its effects in ripening the harvest for the garner of the Lord. I love the appearing of Jesus. I love to dwell upon the signs of his coming, and the glorious inheritance soon to be given to the overcomer. Let us look up, and lift up our heads. Jesus will not disappoint his people. He has a fatherly care for them, and has foretold us all things. The unbeliever is left without excuse. Let us finish our work; then Jesus will come and say, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord." Precious promise! There is rest for the weary. Praise the Lord! Come, Lord Jesus. We wait for the fulfillment of that promise, "I'll come again and take you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also." No people could ever look up with the amount of evidence that we have, that Jesus' coming to gather his people is at the door. O, shall we see him as he is? Shall we have his care in the time of trouble? Yes, he will give his angels charge concerning us, and then we shall be safe in the time of trouble. O, what a rock and fountain of life! Let us have faith in God's word, which is a safe guide in these perilous times. Jackson, Mich. H. S. GURNEY.
