When the Loud Cry Sounds
Truth Soon to Triumph—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,

man can work.—

recovered.
Prophets have discerned this grand work afar off, and have caught
the inspiration of the hour, and traced the wonderful description of
things yet to be.—

Many Backsliders Will Return—When the storm of persecution
