Where Are we?

By Anna W. Gould

How solemn is the moment in which we are now living! How often and earnestly have we been exhorted by God's faithful servants to prepare for the awful scenes just before us, and escape the wrath to come, by complying with his revealed truths, and be ready to hail with joy the Son of man at his appearing.
When contemplating the order and design of God's hand, manifested in the heavenly orbs, we are often almost lost in wonder and admiration, and tire of the things of earth. Are his people any less the objects of his care? How rich his promises to them! How kind his regards to his peculiar people, in granting so much light on our pathway in those last days. Knowing our duty, are we rendering obedience to his will, by observing his last message to us?
Sr. White having compiled and written "How to Live," shall we not take the pains to purchase these works, and carefully read them? Let us be awake and attend to these timely admonitions, fearing lest our thoughts and interests be weighed in the balances, and we be found wanting. We know not how soon an investigation on our own individual cases may be made. We profess, as a people, to be deeply interested in those things coming on the earth. We are looking anxiously to the time of the loud cry. How soon, and we shall be speaking of it in the past; our destinies all decided. How solemn! Let us carefully and prayerfully read God's revealed word to us, knowing if we abide by it, it will guide us to the haven of eternal rest. May our souls be filled with love to God and one another, and so we obey his holy commands.
