The indications Of Providence clearly
point to the present as Il period of great
importance in the worlds history
period when the nations OF the earth are
throwing off the yoke Of Bondage and
seeking the Light OF Divine Truth.
Babylon has falen,' and those long
benighted and priest-riddcn Italian people
are rejoicing in "the liberty Of the Sons
of God" China, India, Arabia, Mexico
and even Ethiopia are stretching forth
their hands unto God, and the world is
seeking for that glorious Illumination
which comes from the Son OF Righteous
ness alone As new fields for Christian
labor, both at home and abroad, are con-
stantly opening before Us, it becomes our
duty to increase our zeal to keep pace
with the demand. Tie has given us His
Word. We have enjoyed its blessings
from our eariist infancy, and lie now asks
us to be co-workors with him in giving it
to others who are as yet without it. We
have enough and to spare, while others
are starving for tic Bread Of Life. Let
us, then do all We can, by our prayers
and gifts, to advance the interests Of this
glorious work, that those who are now
bowling down to gods Of wood and stone
may be brought to q knowledge of the
truth and be among that blessed number
eWho shall keep the sayings Of the
prophecy Of this Book and shall enter in
through the gates into the city" We
plead not for ourselves, but for those who
are without the Bible.
