a''HE COMING OF OUil LORD NEAR 1 AT HAND. And His Message of Morey to all Christian People, by his Restored Apoatleship. Long since the Church was warned that “ in cho last days perilous times saould comeand now, all things indicate that the final struggle between good tad evil—God and Satan—Christ and Antichrist—fast approaches. “ War on God and on religion becomes fiercer every day.” !he credibility of the Sacred Scriptures is boldly denied. Scepticism is becoming rampant in the very heart of the Church. “ The whole drift of European thought is to exclude the living God from the material universe. Hostility to the Christian faith has arisen deeper, sterner, and more systematic than that which terrified our fathers in the most volcanic and tempestuous hours of the French Revolution. ’ Iniquity abounds. False prophets are deceiving many. Scoffers have arisen, saying—“ V\ here is the sign of His coming?” And while the religious world is fondly dreaming of peace, the inventive faculties of man are being taxed to the utmost to produce the most deadly weapons of warfare and destruction ; miVions of man being trained and disciplined to tie highest pitch, ready to be hurled one against another _in n utual slaughter and death. And this, too, in Christendom—the Mouse of Christ—where Christ’s loving rule of peace should alone be known A widespread feeling prevails that we stand on the brink of a great crisis in the world’s history. Ths universal heart of Christendom beats high with anticipations either of hope or fear. Among men of all parties there is a restless uneasiness of feeling, an inerad cable premonition of something great near at hand—something which baffles description. The knell of a departing world is pealing. The mysterious handwriting has appeared on the wall of the Mystical Babylon, but who can interpret it? Yet this is no Lime of ignorance ; knowledge of every kind is vastly incieased, as Daniel foretold it should be at the time of the end. It would be strange beyond expression if, amid the accumulated signs of the end now manifest, no message from God were to come to His people. Before the flood He sent Noah to warn men of the approaching destruction, and to prepare the Ark of refuge for all who would flee to it. At the close of the Jewish dispensation Ho sent the greatest of all the prophets, John, to prepare the way of the Lord, and to proclaim the judgments then impending over an apostate people. And now at this the eleventh flour of this day of salvation, the Lord has again palled and sent forth His aposths into His vineyard to awaken the Church to a consciousness of her high calling, to warn her of the fearful danger ß which beset her, and to seal those whfr rnay be accounted worthy to escape the terrible judgments which are coming upon the earth. And amid the uncertainty and fear which abound, thousands, gathered from all parts of the Church, are, through their ministry, abiding in the unity of the faith once for all delivered to the s dufs, filled with the hope of, watching and waiting fo;, their Lord’s glorious appearing. We joyfully testify of these solemn facts that ; you may share with us these giert blessings, and so be kept from the strong delusion and fearful snare of the last Antichrist, which, as a flood, will speedily sweep over the face of the whole world. “ When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.’" “ Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” ADDRfcSSEJ On the above momentous subjects will be delivered by LIEUT.
