(Luke 19:13).

It has been alleged that the hope of the Second Advent is a dreamy, mystical sentiment which disqualifies one for the active fulfilment of the duties of life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those who cherish that anticipation, who awake in the morning saying, "Perhaps it will be today"; who go to their sleep whispering in their hearts, "Perchance I shall be changed into His likeness in a moment as I sleep, and wake in my resurrection body"-these are among the most devoted, strenuous, and successful workers of the Church. They are not recognized in the daily or religious Press; but God knows and honors them.

"Oh, blessed Hope! With this elate,
Let not our hearts be desolate;
But, strong in faith and patience, wait
Until He come."
