He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

As the Lord has revealed what is to come to pass in these latter days, it is both our duty and privilege to make ourselves acquainted with it, that our faith may grow and be strengthened; that our affections be detached from the fleeting present,  and set more firmly on things to come; that our minds may be fortified against error; and that we may be prepared to meet the Lord as those who have kept their garments, and shall not be put to shame (Rev. 16:15). It is our own fault if we are not “light in the Lord.” He has plainly set before us what is happening in our day, and what is yet to occur.
