teousness, the enemies of
the cross of Christ, though they lived amiable lives (one of Satan's
pet phrases), will meet Him not as the patient lamb, but the Judge,
the lion of the tribe of Judah. What will it be when His Patience is
ended? What will it be when the kingdom and the Patience of Jesus
Christ give way to the kingdom and Glory of Jesus Christ? Rapidly
the day is nearing when the Lord Jesus Christ will be completely
rejected. As long as the true church is still here this complete
rejection is an impossibility. But the church will some day leave
this earth. Then conditions are ripe for the complete rejection of
the Christ and the reception of Antichrist who will then appear. And
when the beast is worshipped (Rev. xiii) and the world defies God
and His anointed as never before, when the nations of apostate
Christendom stand in battle array (Rev. xix:19), then He will come
as the King whose patience is ended and claim His Kingdom. What will
it mean when His Patience is ended? Who can describe it? What
judgments will fall then upon a wicked world and be meted out upon
the enemies of Christ? The day of vengeance is rapidly approaching.
It is the day of vengeance for the world. It is the day of the Glory
of Christ. It is the day of the Glory of the Saints. It is the day
of your Glory as a believer.

Let us suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Let
us be patient as long as He is patient. "Be ye also patient;
establish your hearts for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned;
behold the Judge standeth before the door" (James v:8, 9).

In His Patience pray for the unsaved. Preach the Gospel, give out
the Gospel, send the Gospel, give for the Gospel, live the Gospel. A
little while longer and His patience will end.

Trusting in the Lord thy God,
Onward go.
Holding fast His faithful word,
Onward go.
Not denying His worthy name,
Though it brings reproach and shame,
Spreading still His wondrous fame,
Onward go.

Has He said the end is near?
Onward go.
Serving Him with holy fear,
Onward go.
Christ thy portion, Christ thy stay--
Heavenly bread upon the way,
Leading on to glorious day--
Onward go.

The Love of Christ.

THE Patience of Christ was recently the object of our meditation in
these pages. Blessed and inexhaustible it is. And now a still
