 BRETHREN, I beseech you that you stand fast in the faith, knowing that the Great All-in-All does not sleep, neither does he forget his own.

 Therefore, hath not the Master—even Christ—said that all these things must come to pass before His Kingdom can come? Hath He not said that when you see all these things come to pass, to look up, for your redemption draweth nigh? Verily I say unto you, these very seeming evils are but a proof of His promises. Again I ask you if knowing that He is to come and establish all things new and in righteousness, even as He hath promised aforetime—DOES it matter what prevails for a little moment?
