A Closing Work.--As I hear of the terrible calamities that from week to week are taking place in the world, I ask myself, What do these things mean? Are they permitted to come to arouse those who are transgressing the law of God? The most awful disasters, by fire and flood, are following one another in quick succession. The judgments of God are in the land. They speak in solemn warning, saying, "Be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."

Et afsluttende værk
Når jeg hører om de forfærdelige ulykker der fra uge til uge finder sted i verden, spørger jeg mig selv, Hvad betyder disse ting? Tillades de for at vække dem der overtræder Guds lov? De frygteligste ulykker, som brand, og oversvømmelse, følger hurtigt efter hinanden. Guds straffedomme er i landet. De taler advarende og siger alvorligt: Vær også I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den time, I ikke tænker jer."
