"This is the age of the Enchanted Ground. He that can go through this age and not sleep, must have something more than mortal about him. God must be with him, keeping him awake. You cannot be long in the sporific air of this particular period of time, without feeling that in spiritual things you grow lax, for it is a lax age - lax in doctrine, lax in principle, lax in morals, lax in everything - and only God can come in and help the Pilgrim to keep awake in this Enchanted Ground." (Biblical Illustrator) "The end of all things is at hand." "The coming of the Lord draws nigh." "It is high time to awake out of sleep." Wake up! And though the world grows dark - very dark - "Christ shall give you light."
