brightness of our rising, and having
found us, they will have found the pearl
of greatest price. Beloved, be identified
with God, with his purpose, and do not
! be anxious about the world. They will
come just as surely as you come into full
| agreement, into Identification with the
Lord of glory.
In thus doing you are preparing for
two things; to be saved unto God your
self fully and completely and to be made
an entertainer of those who are coming;
an angel to minister unto those who are
| to be heirs of salvation. Let the fact of
making preparation for these two things
! be Il strong motive, an incentive in your
mind and heart and life. I have reached
! that point III the evolution of God s
! promised glory where my Sheart is in
| terested III lifting up my eyes TO
! behold what God is bringing to pass.
! Having found out that we hare a foun-
| dation that standeth sure, the rock that
| God has tested and knowing that the
house of God is built upon that rock and
knowing the eternal continuance of the
truth of wnlch the church of
| the Redeemed is the Incorporation
l rest down with infinite confidence with
unbounded faith in the God of
glory. Lift up thine eyes round
about and see all they that gather them
selves together they come too thee, thy
son shall come from far and thy daughter
shall be nursed at thy side. @, they
are coming, they are coming. Get ready
for them. God has appointed a trysting
place for the Gentiles, for the people,
and he is gathering them. The time
has indeed come when the
Christ of scripture is sending out
His angels to gather his elect
from the four winds. They are coming,
they are coming. There is a moving,
beloved, there is. Il stir in the spiritual
world to-day. | mean in the world, in
the earth, where God IS spirit is opera
ting. There is Il stirring of life, and the
attention of the Gentiles is being ar
rested. There is a claim sent forth into
the world TO the effect that Christ has
come, and there are souls who will not
let such an announcement pass
without prayerful search. Among the
forces of the Gentiles stir Is taking
place. 1t is the great. wonderful deed,
which the Lord has promised TO effect in
the fullness OF time. | see that we are
merging into such spiritual magnitude
that we are interested in the world, in
the shadowy age, in the things that per-
tain unto the thousands and the innumer-
able hosts whom God has destined to be
gathered together They are coming, and
our faith is as extravagant as Isaiah s
utterances. We keep along in pace with
this hero in an age of shadows, in an age
of sorrows and disappointment. O, l
thank God that there was an Isaiah He
was laying the track on which the church
of the redeemed should run the train of
glory, and we are on that track We
have come within the latitude where
we feel the warmth of the tropi-
cal rays of the shining sun of glory and
we bless and praise God, who prevented
us with the blessings of goodness, who
made such astounding preparations for
the coming man, and certainly we are
coming and the world viii find out that
we have come to stay. We have come
to show forth the praises of the God of
the Scripture.
MI Whitney says there are a great
many i'll the city who are convinced of
the truth of his faith, but who say the
life is too pure for them to lead He says
one has only to stand in the presence of
Rev. Schweinferth TO be convinced of his
divine being.
