MARANATHA. “IJENCEFORTH there is laid up for JUL mo a Crown of Righteousness, which the Lord tho Righteous Judge, shall give me at that Day: and not to me only, but unto all them that sjjt their love upon His Appearing.’’—2 Timothy, 4-8. Amid much that is painful to ; tho Christian heart, and perplexing to every mind, it is delightful to know that "tho dark night of this present order of things with its difficulties and sorrows is far spent, and tho Day tnat dissipates them all is close at hand. Scripture and the signs of the times so teach us. Quite by chance a day or two ago tho Wellington Technical College Review of November last year came into our hands. The front page is adorned ■with the photo of a group of purpose-ful-looking young men and women students. But we were pained to read as original poetry a parody of tho Scriptures by ono of the students. “Have you ever thought when the hearse rolled by, that one day you or I may die? That we may each have two horns and a tail. Anil may live where there is neither water nor ale. Where you shovel and ■work and stoke all day. And do all this without any pay.” It is an evil sign of tho times that sacred things and rhe threatened judgments of God are made subjects for ridicule aud mirth. We i often think of an utterance made by C. H. Spurgeon, who bad experienced in his life and ministry much of the powers of the world to come. Speaking of those who mocked at coming judgment, he affirmed that if tho bravest man had a sight of just one brief moment of what it meant to stand before God uupardoned and unsaved he would swoon with horror. A remarkable pic-, ture, "Celebrating the Locarno Fact (exactly as printed in last Saturdays "Dominion”) is extraordinary owing to the fact that it is a group of TEN who were delegates of Seven Nations. Who arranged it, that of the 55 nations composing the League of Nations SEVEN nations and only DEVEN should be represented on this occasion? We consider it most extraordinary and truly remarkable that the present League of Nations seems so large!v to be controlled by a big TEN. Is it to merge into the League of Nations, which finally is arrayed against God and His Christ? We read in Revelation* 13: "And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a (Wild) Beast rise up out of the sea, having SEVEN heads and TEN horns and upon his horns TEN Crowns, and upon his heads tho name of blasphemy. We .have been told in this weeks cables that Dr. Annie Besant is bringing forward a Christ. Scriptural prophecies are now being rapidly and unmistakably fulfilled. Let us who are of the DAY lookup, for NOW is our Salvation nearer than when wo (first) believed. Comfort one another with these words! Maranatha! (The Emperor Cometh). THE 'EFFICA CIOUS WORD. QEEK ve the Lord while he may be 110 found. Call upon Him while He is near. Let tho wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and I Re will have merev upon him, and co ■ our God, for Ho will abundant y pardon. | ]br My thoughts arc not your thoughts, I n**ither are vour wnys My ways, saltu the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so arc My ways hjßlicr than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the ram eometh down, and the snow from leaven, and returneth not thither, but waiercth tho earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed the sower, and bread to the eater: fio shall My word bo that goeth forth etit of My mouth, it. shall not return <»(o Me void, but it shall accomplish ■ fait which I plea-se, and it shall pros'■•’r in tho thing whereto I sent it.—lsa. ; , 6-11. i
