by unclean, worldly
spirits, devouring their souls, and leaving the whole an unclean cage. God
has gone out of sectism. He works with them no more; his voice is heard no
more in her, and his call to his people is to "come out of her." "Flee out
of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul." God dwells in Zion, and there
shines the beautiful light of the gospel. "Out of Zion the perfection of
beauty God hath shined." "Arise, shine: for thy light is come, and the
glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." Isa. 60:1.

Return and come to Zion, O captive daughter; unloose the bands of sectism
from off thy neck; cast aside the creeds and tyranny of man; cease the
cold forms and frozen conventionalities, and seek the green pasture fields
of Zion, where there are songs and everlasting joy, and sighs and sorrow
come no more.

_Matthew 13th chapter._

The parable of the Savior in which he likens the kingdom of heaven unto a
man which sowed good seed in his field is also illustrative of the gospel
day. The field is the world. The Son of man sowing the good seed is the
glorious gospel work of the morning. The enemy that sowed the tares is the
apostasy, which destroyed much of the good seed and sowed discord,
contention, strife and superstition. The harvest-time is the evening time.
The angels are God's holy messengers.

In the evening of time the Son of man shall send forth his angels or
messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that
offend, and them which do iniquity. God is calling his people out of all
confusion and darkness, separating them from sin and the works of man.
Such is the work to be done in the end of the world.

_Jeremiah 23d chapter._

In the fifth and sixth verses of this chapter is a beautiful prophecy of
Christ. "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto
David a righteous Branch, and a king shall reign and prosper, and shall
execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be
saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he
shall be called, The Lord our Righteousness."

In the ninth verse the prophet tells of his broken heart because he
foresees the dark apostasy. From verse nine to verse eighteen he speaks of
the wicked doings of apostates.

In verse nineteen he describes the present holiness reformation that is
sweeping over the land. "Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in
fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall f
