FRANCES STRONG

From Sister Strong.

DEAR BRO. WHITE:—We are living in a time when the enemy is on the alert, deceiving and drawing away God's children, just now in the sealing time, and all who are not found watching are liable to be drawn away, and to be taken captive by him at his will. Among the fables of the last days, the New-Time theory is presented before the weak and unwary, and they are falling a prey to the powerful deceptions of the adversary. But the Lord has promised that when the enemy comes in like a flood, that the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Yes, bless the Lord, he is soon going to say to the weak, Be strong, and to him that is of a fearful heart, Be of good courage; for his salvation is near to come, and his glory to be revealed, when the light of the moon shall be as the sun, and the light of the sun shall be seven-fold.
Now brethren and sisters, let us gird on the whole armor, and be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. There is no time now to delay. It is no time now to be living at the halves. If Baal be god serve him; but if the Lord be God serve him. The separating work is now going on. The dividing line is being drawn between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
May the Lord set to his helping hand is the prayer of your unworthy servant.
