"The whole system of my politics is summed up in this one verse, 'The Lord reigns! Let the nation's tremble!' Psalm 99:1 The times look awfully dark indeed; and as the clouds grow thicker - the stupidity of the nation seems proportionally to increase. If the Lord had not a remnant here, I would have very formidable apprehensions. But He loves His redeemed children; some are sighing and mourning before Him, and I am sure He hears their sighs, and sees their tears. I trust there is mercy in store for us at the bottom; but I expect a shaking time before things get aright channel - before we are humbled, and are taught to give Him the glory.
The state of the nation, the state of the churches - both are deplorable! Those who should be praying - are disputing and fighting among themselves! Alas! How many professors are more concerned for the mistakes of government - than for their own sins! 'Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns!' Revelation 19:6”
