He is the Arthur of nature. When we ponder the mysterious system of providence, we meet God. He is the ruler of that great and complicated svstem. When we read the Bible, the ideas of the Infinite, our spirits come in contact with the Living one of Israel the Fountain of all life and joy.

Secondly: This period is uncertain as to its time. God has not revealed the time of His coming. No one has been privileged with the knowledge of the exact time of His coming. Thirdly: It is the greatest of all periods of importance. The actions of life will be brought to the test.
