THE GOLDEN AGE AT HAND.

Scriptural Evidences That Are Astonishing—No- One Can Afford to Bo Without the Knowledge. We do our friends a valuable service when we call their attention tP the valuable book entitled, “THE TIME IS AT HAND,” In which are given many Scriptural evidences to prove where we are on the stream of time. “Men’s hearts are failing them for fear” and many of the leading thinkers are proposing remedies to better conditions. The Scriptures assure us that man’s extremity will be God’s opportunity, and this book bolds out an anchor to those who fear the wave of unrest now spreading over the world. , . The honest heart confesses that itis at a loss for an explanation of transpiring events. While we refer to thi* as the BRAIN AGE and the Age of ENLIGHTENMENT, nevertheless many realize that we are fast approaching a crisis which is wrapped in darkness owing to the present worldwide social, religious and political unrest. As though by instinct the whole creation, while it groans and travails in pqin together, waits for, longs for and hopes for the DAY, calling it the “GOLDEN AGE”; yet men grope blindly because not aware of the gr*at Jehovah’s gracious purposes. And to his wondering creatures, looking at the length and breadth, the height and depth of the love of God, surpassing all expectation, He explains: “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord; for as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than yonr ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isa. 65:8, 9.
