[Rt. Rev. Charles D. Williams, D.D., in The Living Church]

I am convinced that we are living to-day in one of those spiritual crises of history which constitute a coming of the Lord. We are witnessing to-day an advent of Christ and a day of judgment. If a Hebrew prophet were reincarnated to-day he would describe the present world situation in glowing apocalyptic language. He would see the Lord descending upon the clouds. He would hear a voice from the skies, saying, "Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain." He would see kings and sovereigns, governments and dynasties, Kulturs and civilizations, tottering and falling that amidst their ruins a new sovereignty, a new and celestial civilization, the kingdom of God, might arise. He would see the judgment seat and the books opened,—and the Lord upon His throne that He might try the ways of men and of empires.

[Dr. James A. Ludlow in Record of Christian Work]
