Surely these very times are up on the world today. Were men .ever so covetous? Were ever children so disobedient to par ents? Were ever families with out natural affections, husbands and wives leaving one another, mothers murdering their chil dren, as today? Were ever the, nations as fierce, as traitorous as now? Were ever men and, incontient as now? And in — ~ churches and religions of the women bo given over to lust, bo world, was there «Ver a time when they bo had a form of godliness, but were so devoid of the power thereoff Surely we are in the very last days, and these perilous times are upon us."
