FOR THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
“And Elisha came again to Gilgal, and there was a dearth in the land, and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seeth pottage for the sons of the prophets; and one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine and gathered thereof, wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of potage: for they knew them not. So they poured out for the men to eat: and it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot; and they could not eat thereof; but he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.”—2 Kings, iv. 38, 41.
