Christian herald and signs of our times . come, and he foretoldan awful famine, not of bread, but of hearingcf the words of the Lord. That which they haddespised would be taken from them, mancannot lightly neglect the Word of his us take heed lest in the increasing powerof Rome in our land, such a famine may notvisit us also. And the prophet saw God pursuing his peo-ple in his just displeasure; from hell, fromheaven, from the top of Carmel, from the bot-tom of the sea, he would hunt them out! Ohow vain to seek to escape God ! Finally, hewould sift them as in a sieve, and not one grainof his true wheat should fall to the the tide of judgment turns, and the samehand which has been so strong in disciplineand punishment will raise them again, restorethem, bring again their captivity, and plantthem in their land. It is the same God whochastens his people now. He is as intolerantof sin now as then : at any cost, his peoplemust be holy : Whom the Lord loveth hechasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom EARTHS RE-GENESIS. What Agencies will Effect this Radical Change?HY REV. GEORGE C. NEEDHAM. tILL a slow progressiveconversion of the worldbring about the predict-ed consummation ? IInot, has the Gospel ofChrist lost its power ?Verily, no ! The Gospelis still the power of Godunto salvation to everyone that believeth. Thequestion, however, doesnot concern the power, but rather the purposeof the Gospel. It will surely accomplish thatwhereunto it has been sent. But notby preaching will the planet be regenerated, noryet by preaching will millennial blessedness beconsummated. Will Peace Societies, and Reforming Societies,and Nineteenth Century Clubs elevate theworld to Paradise conditions ? Will Elsmerc-ism and Bellamy ism introduce the Golden aye?The scare which frightened the clergy whenthese intruded themselveshas passed away, and with it also the Utopianplans for universal righteousness. Thank God,I never read these books.
