Keeping Watch

I. H. EVANS HE second advent occupied no minor place in the instruction imparted by the Saviour Himself, and this great theme was taken up and carried on by the writers of the New Testament. With them all the second coming of Christ is the culminating event in the plan of salvation. When Christ spoke concerning His second coming, He almost invariably closed His discourse with the admonition : " Watch." This charge follows His great discourse on the signs of His coming ; it follows the parable of the ten virgins ; and it is the climax of other lessons on being prepared to meet Him with joy when He comes. Watching is, not easy. Perhaps of all things that try the temper and break the spirit of man, to watch for an expected event is the most difficult. An army can march and prepare for battle with spirits high and banners flying ; but to camp, and wait, and keep watching, with nothing happening, requires unusual will power and a high degree of discipline. Often at such a time well-organized armies disintegrate, dissatisfaction smoulders, quarrels break out, and the morale is broken. So it is with the watchmen on the walls of Zion ; the most strenuous demands are not in active field work, however hard, but in waiting and watching for the coming of the Lord. Watching implies readiness. One can not be said to be watching for the Lord's return unless he is ready for that event. Christ draws two pictures — readiness and unreadiness. Had the good man of the house known at what hour the thief would come, he would have been on the watch. The faithful servant gives the household of God meat in due season ; but the unfaithful servant says in his heart, " My. Lord delayeth His coming," and entangles himself with the affairs of this life. Watching implies being wide awake. to one can watch who is sleeping on his job, and will not arouse himself. The danger lies in the hour when the watchman is asleep. No menace is so great to an army as a drowsy guard. The lives of all are endangered by one indifferent, sleepy watchman. In the army, to sleep on guard is a capital offense, and costs the life of the sleeper. But with the church the sleepy, drowsy watchman may bring ruin to all under his influence, and none save the Lord can punish. Surely such will come to judgment with blood on their garments. If heaven and the church appoint men to be watchmen, what an accounting they must give for a church unprepared for the coming of the Master ! The faith of the people is the product of the watchman. Every preacher produces his own kind. A fruitful watchman will have a people ready for the Lord's return. The Master's command is, " Be ye also ready." If the cry should be sounded to-day, " Behold the Bridegroom cometh !" would we be ready to go forth to meet Him ? The charge is to all : " Watch therefore : for ye know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of man cometh." FAR EASTERN DIVISION OUTLOOK

The Call to Action The Harvest Ingathering AT the spring meeting of the Far Eastern Division Com- mittee, the following action was unanimously passed: I. H.

The General Conference is unable to give us all the money they desire. World conditions and especially conditions in the United States, threaten to greatly reduce the amount of funds that our people will be able to contribute for mission work. It is our desire, and it seems to the Committee that, it should be the purpose of every worker, to do his best in gathering a goodly sum for field work. Some will want to appropriate this for their school work, others for literature work, others for church building, and gill others for 'other enterprises; but whatever the objective, the true purpose and aim will be to advance the cause of God. I hope our workers and people will rally to this cause. May the blessing of the Lord be with all who take part in this program. We believe many thousands of dollars will accrue to the cause as the results of personal, hard work.
