AMMUNITION GONE!

HERE is a giant cliff on the bank of the Hudson river opposite the military post of West Point. This rugged promotory has been the target for rifle practice for almost one hundred years. Tons of lead have been poured against its stubborn side and there is no apparent rift or seam in the granite walls. In a similar way the Word of God and the Truth of God have been the target for hostile attack for hundreds and thousands of years. Agnosticism, scholasticism and unbelief have trained their destructive batteries upon the most cherished promises of God and upon the earnest belief of his people, but thus far without effect. The signs are that now their munitions of war are exhausted, their ammunition is gone. In dismay they see the conquering hosts of Jehovah

Marching on to war,
With the Cross of Jesus, going on before.

No weapon that is forged against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

Isaiah 54:17.
