When the Loud Cry Sounds
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep:
for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. Rom. 13:11.
The end is near, stealing upon us stealthily, imperceptibly, like the
noiseless approach of a thief in the night. May the Lord grant that we shall
no longer sleep as do others, but that we shall watch and be sober. The
truth is soon to triumph gloriously, and all who now choose to be laborers
together with God, will triumph with it. The time is short; the night soon
cometh when no man can work. . . .
The time is coming when there will be as many converted in a day as there
were on the day of Pentecost, after the disciples had received the Holy
Spirit. . . .
Many have let the gospel invitation go unheeded; they have been tested and
tried; but mountainous obstacles have seemed to loom up before their faces,
blocking their onward march. Through faith, perseverance, and courage, many
will surmount these obstructions and walk out into the glorious light.
Almost unconsciously barriers have been erected in the strait and narrow
way; stones of stumbling have been placed in the path; these will be rolled
away. The safeguards which false shepherds have thrown around their flocks
will become as nought; thousands will step out into the light, and work to
spread the light. Heavenly intelligences will combine with the human
agencies. Thus encouraged, the church will indeed arise and shine, throwing
all her sanctified energies into the contest; thus the design of God is
accomplished; the lost pearls are recovered. . . .
During the loud cry, the church, aided by the providential interpositions of
her exalted Lord, will diffuse the knowledge of salvation so abundantly that
light will be communicated to every city and town. The earth will be filled
with the knowledge of salvation. So abundantly will the renewing Spirit of
God have crowned with success the intensely active agencies, that the light
of present truth will be seen flashing everywhere.
