COME QUICKLY I will say to the north, give up; and to the south, keep not back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth. Isa. 43:6,. Oh Palestine, rejoice and sing, Thy long dark night is nearly over; Thy Saviour, Lord and coming King Will soon His ancient ones recover. Thy exiled sons have heard the call, In foreign fields, ’cross many waters; In joyous haste respond they all— The old and young, thy sons and daugh ters. But to the Bride the call comes first, For she shall go with Him to reign, When He returns to keep the tryst On David’s throne, in Palestine. For soon the King of kings shall reign, The Queen also, in gold of Ophir; The virgins too shall fill her train, While God Himself shall joy above her! We long to hear the trumpet, Lord, And haste to meet Thee in the air; The joyous sound must soon be heard, And face to face we’U see Thee there! Come quickly Lord, the time is long Since Thou hast gone away; We wait and watch, a weary throng, And wonder if Thou’lt come today. A. L. MURPHY, Brooklyn, N.

THE COMING KING John Kelman, of Edinburgh, tells of having been in America some years ago and having an interesting discussion with a leading American layman about this great country and its possibilities. Kelman asked the American what, as he saw it, was America’s greatest need. Promptly came the reply, “ America’s greatest need is a king— an absolute monarch.” “ What!” exclaimed the Scotchman. “ A king in this great democracy! What do you mean by that?” “ Yes,” came the quiet reply; “ and we know the man.- His name is Jesus Christ.” Not until the King comes, in personal, visible presence to esetablish His king dom on earth, bringing all lands and all men under His personal reign, will America’s problem he solved, or the problems of any nation on earth. But this is not a vain hope; this is our Blessed Hope; for the King is coming. MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE An optimistic old Scotchman’s fav orite expression was, “ It micht have been waur.” One day a friend said to him: “ Tammas, I had an awful dream about ye last nicht. I deramt ye were dead.” “ Aye, man Sandy, that was bad in deed, but it micht have been waur.” “ But it is waur,” went on the other. “ I dreamt ye had gone to the bad place.” “ Losh, me, Sandy! Me an elder in the kirk dead an’ gone to the bad place. That was awful, but— it micht have been waur.” “ Hoo could it have been waur than that?” asked Sandy, amazed. “ Weel, ye ken, it might hae been The great preacher is he who has naught to say over the heads of his hear ers.
