In the Shadow of Impending Doom
Millions in the Cities Must Soon Decide—The spiritual darkness
that covers the whole earth today, is intensified in the crowded centers
of population. It is in the cities of the nations that the gospel worker
finds the greatest impenitence and the greatest need....
The record of crime and iniquity in the large cities of the land
is appalling. The wickedness of the wicked is almost beyond com-

done quickly.
The conditions that face Christian workers in the great cities, con-
stitute a solemn appeal for untiring effort in behalf of the millions
living within the shadow of impending doom. Men will soon be forced
to great decisions, and they must have opportunity to hear and to under-
stand Bible truth, in order that they may take their stand intelligently on
the right side. God is now calling upon His messengers in no uncertain

terms, to warn the cities while mercy still lingers, and while multitudes
are yet susceptible to the converting influence of Bible truth.—

crowded cities. His work is to be seen in the confusion, the strife
and discord between labor and capital, and the hypocrisy that has

tan leads them into a round of gayety and pleasure-seeking, of eating
and drinking. He fills them with ambition to make an exhibition that
will exalt self. Step by step, the world is reaching the conditions that
existed in the days of Noah. Every conceivable crime is committed.
The lust of the flesh, the pride of the eyes, the display of selfishness,
