L. T. NICOLA
Every passing year brings us nearer to the close of probation and the end of all things. Does it also bring us into a closer relation to our Saviour, and thus prepare us to do our work faithfully, and be ready to hail his coming with joy? “It should,” will be the unanimous answer. The week of prayer has come to us in the past fraught with peculiar blessings, and we earnestly pray that the same may be true even in a larger sense the present year. Our needs are great, but, thank God, we have a heavenly Father who is able and willing to supply them. GCB December 1895, page 643.7
