Our day in the light of prophecy and providence . s,To meet one another again!* *But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,neither have entered into the heart of man, the things whichGod hath prepared for them that love Him.* Through the ages, the children of the promise have beenjourneying toward the city which hath foundations, whosebuilder and maker is God, and they have confessed them-selves pilgrims and strangers in this present world.
