THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

                                             Stephen N. Haskell


                 “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
                                              hand” Revelation 22:10.



               Peter had on the stormy sea. The Master said,


               “Come,”  and  while  the  disciple  believed  the



               waves  formed  a  solid  footing.  When  he


               doubted  he  began  to  sink.  To-day  the  Spirit


               says,  “Come”;  and  he  who  believes  in  the


               power of God unto salvation, will be carried


               through by the one word, “come.” It is a living


               word,  like  the  word  spoken  during  creation


               week.  As  the  trees  have  continued  to  grow


               year  after  year,  each  oak  bearing  acorns,


               which in time produce other oaks, so the word


               “come”  has  been  repeated  by  those  who


               heeded  the  sound,  and  whosoever  will,  has


               drunk of the fountain of life. Those in whom


               the  Word  lives,  become  living  voices  who


               repeat the invitation, “Come,” “Ho, every one


               that thirsteth, come.”
