Oh, the tragedy of hundreds of our pulpits today, in revealing a mysterious, determined avoidance of the proclamation of the truths of Holy Scripture. I love my fellow ministers, and listen to them preach, I trust, in the most sympathetic mood, but I must say that I have come out of the house of God again and again with a sad and bewildered heart, wondering what some men are doing all week, and what they believe in their hearts, and what they think will satisfy the hearts of men, when on Sunday morning they stand up before eternal souls, without a shred of divine truth, nothing relating to this holy revelation, nothing concerning the great, and powerful, the satisfying and transforming truths of the Christian religion.
3At isa pang anghel ang dumating at tumayo sa tabi ng dambana. Siya ay may taglay na gintong suuban ng kamangyan. Binigyan siya ng maraming kamangyan upang ihandog niya itong kasama ng mga panalangin ng lahat ng banal sa ginintuang dambana na nasa harapan ng trono. 4Ang usok ng kamangyan, kasama ang mga panalangin ng mga banal ay pumailanglang sa harapan ng Diyos mula sa kamay ng anghel. 5Kinuha ng anghel ang suuban ng kamangyan at pinuno ito ng apoy na mula sa dambana.
