To My Readers
I DO thank God with all my heart for the hundreds of encouraging letters I get from all parts of the world. I have been suffering from fatigue of the nerves of my hand, and that has prevented me from answering many letters personally oftentimes, but I see them all, and thank God for them. I am getting better of this, and hope soon to be a better correspondent.
Our great need is Testaments — and we do not send them out until we have paid for them—so there are many vacant places on our shelves waiting until the Lord inclines the hearts of His servants to fill all our shelves to overflowing.
We want to feel more and more the personal interest of Christ in all we do. It must rejoice His heart to see His Word, going to preach His gospel, in all parts of the earth.
We believe in the full inspiration of the Bible from cover to cover. It is the only antidote for the sin that is flooding the world today—awful sin — terrible sin. It is the only light to shed heaven’s brightness upon the darkness of a doomed world. “The entrance of Thy word giveth light.” The smoking furnace of Mt. Etna, and the tides of lava, flowing down its riven sides, tell in their destructive power of the coming day of doom that shall overwhelm the whole world — not villages merely―but the seas and shores, continents and islands of the whole universe. Ten thousand flaming Etnas shall then hurl forth the wrath of God upon the earth―then shall the day of the Lord come as a thief in the night, “when the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
And in the day of God the heaven being on fire shall be dissolved, and the element “shall melt with fervent heat.”
There is no stability in a flaming world, no solid foundation for any when all shall be shaken. None shall stand in the great day of His wrath. No dancing then, no cinema shows or theaters, no infidel then to hurl his defiance to the skies, no so-called Christians then to shadow the Deity of the Lord Jesus by saving He was fallible in His utterances, no blasphemous hand then to tear the Word of the Living God to pieces. All will be judged by the One they dare to judge now, and the Word they desecrate with their unbelief will be their condemnation then. Tremble then ye so-called men of God―your god is your own conceit. You have challenged the Almighty to prove that His Word is true, and this two-edged sword will be your executioner in that day. God wants faithful, believing men to work for Him today — He has no use for traitors who deny or limit His Son and His Word, nor for those who uphold them in their blasphemy.
