THE First Address on the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ will be given in the New Town Hall, Carterton, on Monday evening next, December Ist, at half-past 7 o'clock, by JAMES MOOKE GAITELY. Sankey's hymn hooks will be used. Subject : "The Speedy Personal Comine; of the Lord Jesus Christ from Heaven, and the Resurrection and Translation of a Firafc-Pruits to meet Him, as declared by the " Spirit of Prophecy." Eighteen hundred years have idled away since Our Lord aseended into heaven, and the Angels declared to His Disciples that 1 ' this same Jesus, which is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ya have seen Him go into heaven." And now the signs of" the last days" arc p Wiily manifest. Knowledge is increasing, Evil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse. Scoffers have arisen, walking after their own lusts, and saying: " Where is the promise of His comiug ?" There is a great apostacy from the faith, Sound doctrine is not endured. Men are lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Iniquity abounds, and the love of many is waxing cold. Men's hearts are failing them for fear; the sea and the waves—the peoples and the nationsare roaring; and the powers of heaven—the Church—are shaken. When " war on God and on religion beomes fiercer every daywhen the authenticity of the Sacred Scriptures is boldly denied; when "the whole drift of European thought is to exclude the living God from the material universewhen "hostility to the Christian fa th h'as arisen, deepe ■, sterner, and more systematic than that which terrified our fathers in thomost volcanicand tempestuous hours of the Freneli Eevolution •" when the real issue of the battle now raging is—"ls Christendom to believe, any longer in Christ, or no ?" when these are the terrible evils which face us in all directions-who can fail to perceive that " the Church is passing through one of the most violent and most decisive trials of her existence on this earth," and that wj are fast approaching that time so sorrowfully anticipated by our Lord—"When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" In the hope of this Second Coming of our Lord, we invite your attention to these most solemn and holy matterß; praying that you may discern this time of visitation, and be kept from the power and snares of Antichrist, and ' be counted worthy to escape all those thisgs which shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man." Therefore, bo ye also ready: for in such an hour as YE THINK NOT, the Son of Man cometh."
