have great heaviness and contin-
ual sorrow in my heart for my brethren,
kinsmen according to the flesh
the Welsh nation. The true gospel is
hidden from them. They believe the
language of the accuser in the garden
-"Ye shall not surely die" They
believe they are immortal by nature !;
and then they can't seek for it through
Christ. (The true gospel is. Jesus
Christ. brought life and Immortality
to light through the gospel 2 Tim,
l: 1O.) And they believe when the
dust returns to earth as it was, the
real man scars Immediately to heaven
and is there in as good state as the
angels are and thus they lose sight
of the second coming of Christ.
The true gospel is, unless Christ
comes the second time we shall all perish
But praise the Lord, every thing por-
tends the day of God at hand. God,
presignifed the worlds distiny by the
great image in Dan. CHI. 2:-the gold,
Babylon ; the silver, Media-Pe ;
the brass, Grecia; the iron Pagan
Rome; the iron and clay of the feet,
mineling themselves with the seed of
men and not cleaving one to the other,
Papal and Republican Rome of the
present day. The exhausted con
dition of this symbol presents itself
! to the eve and mind of every candid
observer ; and God is about to rise up
and smite and shake terribly the earth,
and destroy all human governments.
The answer to the question of Mat.
"a: 81" What shall be the sign of
thy coming land of the end of the world?'
embraces several reasons, why believe
we are nearing the end of this world.
a. False Christs were to arise. Not
less than twenty five have risen. (2.)
Wars and rumors were to convulse the
world. They have in almost an unin-
terrupted stream of bloodshed and car
mage, whelmed nations in ruin, wrapped
cities in fire, laid Kingdoms and empires
desolate, and quilted earth with purple
gore, and caused universe to weep,
groan and travail in pain. 60 The
Papal abomination has stood out its
1860 years in its pretended holy place
and made desolate the saints during
its domination.
The sun hath been darkened and the
moon hath withheld its light.
The stars have fallen from heaven.
There have been signs in the sun
and in the moon and in the stars.
The next event in consecutive order,
is "the shaking of the powers of the
heaven, (which doubtless is the fulfill
ment of what God declared in Heb. II :
26-29; Is. 2: 1921. 1t is when God
'riseth to shake terribly the earth. !"
Oh solemn thought, yet true. The
day of judgment is appointed (see
Acts %: 81. 22), and the Scriptures
declare Gods obedient children will
see it approaching. (Heb. 10: 49,
Yea, more: the children Of God are Of
the light, and it is declared that it will
not overtake them Gas thief"
The Lord will come to judge the
world, when faithful men are proclaim
ing it, and evil servants are saying IN
their hearts, "My Lord delayeth his
coming" This fits the prophetic
mould this very day. Mat. a 40
81,
Amidst all the signs in mercy given
as the precursors of the day of God,
there will be those that scof, and say,
"where is the promise of his coming Z?
@ Pet. 3: 3, A. The political,
religious, moral, and natural elements !;
consecutive, discursive symbolic and
chronological prophecies, all point to
these days Every thing seems to be
in transition state. Creations doom
is nigh. Earth's sun is sitting amid
darkness, sorrow, lamentation, mourn
ing and wo.
Who will proclaim the alarm
amongst the Welsh ? Who?
Who will warn them to prepare to
meet their Goo +; to escape speedily,
Soon the door of mercy will be cternally,
closed, and the unprepared will be
lost. lost ? Oh the value of the golden
moments. Do not let them IN to
waste ? Make them wise unto saliva
ton.
Who will be instruments of sound
ing the midnight cry to my people !?
What is the next sign we should
look for or expect of the Lords COM
