The Blessed Hope of our Lord's return is a truth that is very dear to me; and in no book outside the New Testament have I seen it more sweetly or clearly shown forth than in Maranatha, by Dr. J. H. BROOKES, of St. Louis. I am sure these few pages by our dear brother will be blessed by our loving Father in Heaven, to the comforting of many of the little flock who are waiting for the Hour when He, their Lord, shall, according to His Word, “descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
