      [continued from previous message]              the Father's love and immortality.              Let men study the prophecies and the times and the seasons, and calculate       the time of the end, and predict the near approach of the Master's coming in       the clouds, and prepare themselves to be snatched up in the air and become       of the heavenly hosts, yet they will find that all these things are vanities       of vanities, and only as each individual passes beyond the veil of flesh       will he realize the end of his mortal world has come, and then will all his       speculations as to himself become realities, and the certainty of the       world's end become an established fact. But men will continue to live on       earth and die, and in succession others be born to die, and so on until....       only God knows.              SO I SAY TO MEN, PREPARE NOT FOR THE PASSING AWAY OF THE HEAVENS AND THE       EARTH, BUT FOR THE PASSING OF THEMSELVES FROM THE EARTH TO THE GREAT WORLD       OF SPIRITS; AND REMEMBER, THAT AS THEY SOW, SO SHALL THEY REAP--A CERTAINTY       THAT IS NEVER CHANGED--A TRUTH THAT NO SPECULATION CAN MAKE UNTRUE.              THE END OF MAN'S WORLD COMES EACH DAY TO SOME MORTAL, AND THAT END MAY LEAD       TO A GLORIOUS IMMORTALITY, OR TO A TEMPORARY OR A LONG DARKNESS AND       SUFFERING.              THUS ARE THE PROPHECIES BEING FULFILLED AND THE SPECULATIONS OF PREACHERS       AND TEACHERS AND LEADERS OF THE UNTHINKING ARE ROBBING MEN OF THE VITAL       TRUTH THAT THE END OF THE WORLD IS COMING EACH MOMENT AND DAY AND YEAR.              OH! PREACHER AND TEACHER AND LEADER, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS GREAT, AND THE       ACCOUNTING MUST BE MADE. THE REAPING MUST FOLLOW THE SOWING AS CERTAINLY AS       THE DAY FOLLOWS THE NIGHT, AND WHAT WILL YOUR HARVEST BE?              THE END OF THE WORLD FOR SOME MORTAL IS THE IMPORTANT NOW!              I have written enough for to-night as you are tired.              So believe that I love you and am praying for the Father to bless you, and       to so fill your soul with His love, that when the world comes to an end for       you, you shall find the Kingdom of Heaven waiting to receive you.       Good-night.               Your brother in Christ,               JOHN.
