Signs of the Times

with contributions from W. M. McCleaver, G. F. M.

[Rev. W. M. McCleaver in Visalia (Calif.) Times]

All great movements, as well as all progress, are slow in the sight of men's impatience. But the solemn fact is ever before us, that the foundation upon which we shall build to-morrow is the one we are building to-day. This is as true of nations as individuals, of centuries as days. Then what we are to be to-morrow is the sum total of the facts of our lives to-day. What the world is to be one hundred years from to-day does not depend so much upon the unborn generations as it does upon the generation of this hour.

Whether we admit it or not, the world's court of society to-day is staggering under the same old question that Pilate's court propounded to the Son of God two thousand years ago: "What is truth?" The rise or fall of every age and of every nation has been founded upon the answer they made to this question. And the rise or fall of the ages of to-morrow will depend upon the strength of this hour to what is truth.
