ut I will destroy the
fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment." Ezek. 34:11-16.

God is gathering out his own into the beautiful light of Zion. We have now
reached the time when the above promise is being fulfilled by the
delivering hand of God. Amid the ruins of Babel confusion the Lord has a
remnant which he is gathering home to their goodly fold, in the top of the
mountains of Israel.

"Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should
have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah." Isa. 1:9.
"Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that _shall be brought
forth_." Ezek. 14:22.

"Have you heard the voice from heaven,
Calling in a solemn tone,
'Come, my people, from confusion,
This is not your native home?'

"Do you know, O ransomed brother,
That we stand upon the verge,
Where old time fills up his ages,
And the lost will mourn his dirge?

"Yes, I heard, and to my vision
Zion's glory brightly shone;
Then I rose and fled the ruin,
Taking not a Babel stone.

"Yes, my soul has come to Zion,
On the high and holy way,
And I've seen all darkness flying,
Driven by the light of day.

[Now the evening light is flashing,
God is gathering to their home
All the pure and holy remnant
Waiting for the Lord to come.]

"Oh, what myriad souls are sleeping,
Soon to wake in judgment-fires;
Help, O God, thy remnant gleaning,
Until time indeed expires."

I have cast each sectish idol
To the mole and to the bat; (Isa. 2:20.)
I am feeding on the mountain,
And my soul is growing fat. (Ezek. 34:14.)

The Second Coming Of Christ.

When Jesus was taken up into heaven and a cloud had received him out of
sight, two heavenly visitants appeared unto the men of Galilee and said,
"This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in
like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." Acts 1:11. Jesus went up
in a cloud and he is to come again in like manner as he went up. "And then
shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and
glory." Mark 13:26.

No one knows the exact time of his coming. "But of that day and hour
knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Mat.
24:36. We can know, however, when his c
