The Gospel Telescope
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

It converts hazy conjecture into immovable certainty, and interprets the feeble hopes and dreams which glimmer in the eye of reason into demonstrated and well-defined truths. "Oh, that all my brethren," said Rutherford, when dying, "may know what a Master I have served, and what peace I have this day. This night shall close the door and put my anchor within the veil."
