DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN
lNG.-In the present world horror of
wars and rumors Of wars it is well to
let hope see the herald of a far more
happy and glorious existence for all
mankind With freedom from the
maign and murdeTOus influences of
the now dying mOnstrosities, law and
gospel, that have so long palsied the
mental and spiritual life of the ma
lions, a greater mental and spiritual
evolution is inevitable, for the reason
that nature, the law of God, will then
be our ruler, instead of the ghosts
from the dead past.
Somehow the philosophy of life as
portrayed by the Nazarene is to be-
come the dominant quality in every
one. We are all so familiar with the

present death rattle in the throat Of
those old devils, church and state,
that any citation of coTTelative facts
is quite superfiuous. My muse a few
days since gave me the pleasant
prospects for the future in the fol-
lowing three little verses, which am
pleased to pass along to you.
Old customs are dying, rejoice and be
glad!
False law and false gospel, that made
our race mad,
Are soon to be known with the
things that are dead,
And Christ in his glory shall rule in
their stead.
They were but rough steps on the
stairway toward God,
The primal conceptions that sprang
from the sod.
Those errors are dying. Great God,
make them die!
The day of Thy glory is drawing
more nigh.
Their sOmber old shadows shall soon
fade away
Before the glad light of miIlenial day,
When nothing of evil on earth shall
remain,
And Jesus, our Savious, forever will
reign.
Their day is near ended, their course
is near run.
Thy undying love hath the victory
won.
The winter is ending, the spring
draweth near,
When Jesus again on this earth shall
appear,
Whose love shall forever from earth
relegate
Those evil conceptions, the church
and the state.
