began thus, "how shall I do in the swelling of Jordan?" Well, as a believer in Christ, perhaps, I may never come there at all, for there are some that will be alive and remain at the coming of the Son of Man, and these will never die. For so says the Apostle: "Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and the last trump." This thought we wish to keep ever before us. My real hope is the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ! I would far rather see the Master return than see the messenger Death. I regulate my life as one who is looking for and hastening unto the coming of The Son of Man.
