“What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the churches.”—Rev. 1:11, 19.
We saw men with bands around their heads holding great packs on their necks. They were carrying loads from the boats which were bringing the ship’s cargo to shore. Truly they were pictures of the spiritual bondage of the people staggering under their burdens of sin, and with the yoke of the devil on their necks.
O, my Lord, in travail of soul I cry,
That Thou wilt hear and answer from the sky,
And send Thy Holy Spirit down in power!
O let it fall, my Lord, in a mighty shower!
O save this people from the tempter’s snare!
Let them in Thy heavenly glory share—
Save them, O Lord, from sin and shame,
