LTOTURB. COMING OF CUE LORD NKAti AT HAND. An 1 ! His Message of Mercy to all Christian People, by his Restored Apostlesbip. Long since the Church was warned that “ in the last days perilous times s ould come and now, all things indicate that the final struggle between good and evil—God and Satan—Christ and Antichrist—fast approaches. “ War on God and on religion becomes fiercer every day.” 'J he credibility of tha» Sacred Scriptures is boldly denied. Scepticism is becoming rampant in the very heart of the Church, “ The whole drift of Kuropean 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 tonified our fathers in the most volcanic and tempestuous hours of the French Revolution. ’ Iniquity abounds. False prophets are deceiving many. Scoffers have arisen, saying—“ Where 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 de.idly weapons of warfare and deat< uotion ; millions of men being trained and disciplined to tbe highest pitch, ready to be hurled one against another iu n utual slaughter and death. And thi«, too, in <’hristendom—the House of Christ—where Christ’s loving rule of peace should alone Le known. A widespread feeling prevails that wo stand on the brink of a gre t ciisis in the word’s history. The universal heart of Christendo beats high with a tcip-itions 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 ia pealing. The mysterious handwri ing has appeared ou the wall of the Mystical Babylon, but who can interpret it ? Yet this is no time of ignorance; knowledge of every kind ia vastly increased, as Daniel foretold it should be at the time of the end. It would be strange beyond expres-ion 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 desti notion, and to prepare the Ark of refuge for all who would flee to it. At the close of the Jewish dispensation He sent the greatest of ail the prophets, John, to prepare the way of the Lon, and to proclaim the judgments then impending over an apostate people. And now at this the eleventh hour of this day of salvation, the Lord has again ca’led aud sent forth His apostl s into His vineyard to awaken the Chuich to a cousciousn“ss of her high calling, to warn her of the fearful dangers which beset her, and to seal those who may be recounted worthy to escape toe terrible judgments which are coming upon the earth. Aud amid the uncertainty and fear which abound, thousand*, gathered from all parts of the (.-Lurch, are, through their ministry, abiding in the unity of the faith once for all d- liveivd to the sun s, fille I with the hope of. watehin' and waiting for, their Lord’s glorious appearing We joyfully testify of these solemn facts that you mty share wi b us these g. e t blessings, and s« he kept from the strong delusion and fearful snare of the last Antichrist, which, as a floed. will speedily swee.» over the lace of the whole world.

“ When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lorn shall lift u > a standard aga nsthim. Arid the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to t.em that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord ,J “ Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” ADDRESSES On the above momentous subjects will be delivered by LIEUT.
