Biblical Museum Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Mr. G —was mayor of the town of Maidenhead not many years after the late Rev. J. Cooke settled in it. One Sabbath evening he attended the meeting house, and heard Mr. Cooke preach. The text was, "Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him" (Revelation 1:7). His attention was powerfully arrested: an arrow of conviction entered his heart; he became speedily a changed man, and regularly attended the means of grace. He had been a jovial companion, a good singer, and a most gay and cheerful member of the corporation. The change was soon perceived. His brethren, at one of their social parties, rallied him upon Methodism. But he stood firm by his principles, and said, "Gentlemen, if you will listen patiently, I will tell you why I go to meeting, and do not attend your card table. I went one Sunday evening to hear Mr. Cooke. He took for his text, 'Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him.' Your eye shall see Him!" In short, he gave them so faithful and powerful an epitome of the sermon, and applied it so closely to them individually, marking the words, "every eye shall see Him," with such emphasis, and pointing to them, said, "Your eye," and "your eye," that they were satisfied with his reasons for going, and never again durst speak to him on the subject.
