This is what the Apostle said.
This is what the Son of God Himself said and still says to-day.
He affirms we do not know the hour.
He exhorts us to watch.
The affirmation and the exhortation hold for this hour.
If therefore the Son of God be not incarnate falsehood; if He seek not to play with my heart and make me a spectacle to the lost souls of the pit as well as to the mockers among men—He means what He said.
If He meant what He said, then He means that any day, and any hour of the day so far as I know I may meet Him at any turn of the road.
And what would that mean if He should come to-night or to-morrow?
I have told you what it would mean to me.
What would it mean to you, to some of you who have so much invested in Laurel Hill, in that white and beautiful city of the dead, by the banks of your winding river?
