We have, indeed, been ‘Sitting together in heavenly places.’ “And today, every church, every Christian, every friend and surely our dear unsaved ones, will be present to listen to these final mes sages from the very throne of grace. Every true and earnest evangelist comes to these last serv ices with yearning, anxious hearts. Eternal destinies are being sealed.
