GOLDEN AGE COMING.

A STARTLING PROPHECY.

“That within the next five years the world will enter into thie period of life everlasting, hoped for through the ages,” was the statement made at Wellington on Sunday evening by Mr M. A. Howlett, of Toronto, Canada. “The Gentile times ended in 1914 A.D.,” said Mr Howlett, “and we are now in the period of great, tribulation spoken of in Matthew 24', 21-22. During the coming golden age all the legitimate desires of the Natural human heart will be realised. It is the firm belief of many Bible students that there are millions now living who will never die.” From childhood, he declared, we had been taught, of two places to go to—Heaven and Hell. If given our choice wo would, most of us, prefer to stay on earth. But the grandest administration on earth could not give man the realisation of his 1 best desires, which would be realised only in the Messiah’s kingdom. Instead, to-day we had the ghastly grotesque twentieth century spirit of hatred, malice, and strife, bowing at the throne of power, wealth, and pomp. The indignation of the Lord, as expressed in Zeplr. 3 8-9, would not be long delayed. If “death” was the wages of sin, how could the dead be made to suffer in the burning lake of the accepted hell ? Death was real death; the “life” of the hereafter was the enjoyment of the kingdom .to which all those who had obeyed the Divine Command would return from the prison house of death.
