The Bible declaration thal our Redeemer would come again an receive His faithful people to Him- self was once surmised to imply that all the remainder of mankind would experience eternal torture. But now, in the blessed enlightenment of our day, we see that the gathéring of the Church in the First Resurrectiod is merely the completing of the Seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:16, 29), whose work thenceforth will be the blessing of all the families of the earth, according to the Divine Prom- ise and Oath. The declaration that at our Lord's Second Coming He will judge the world in righteousness we once mis- understood to mean that the Re- deemer would merely confirm a judg- ment, or decree, of eternal torment against mankind, the speaker as- serted. He then briefly outlined the Divine Plan for human salvation from the sin and death conditions brought upon the race through Adam's disobedience and extended as a judgment to all his posterity. individually, however. trial right and wrong, error, ever chooses sin will Second Death, but chooses righteousness will life everlasting. He then contrasted this Scriptural view of the Judgment Day with that banded down from the Dark Ages--a tweonty-four-hour day for damning afresh the poor race already suffering from the original condemnation. How Christ Will Come: Next was pointed out the unrea- Bonableness of the unscriptural ~~ cording to these, the Redeemer would come again in the flesh, the ing skin. The speaker then quoted Beripture after Scripture to prove that our Lord was put to death in the flesh, but was raised from the dead a spirit being. Our Lord's flesh was given for the life of the world; and all His human rights and privileges will in due time be given to humanity. It was also shown that since the Scriptures declare that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of by the power of the First Resurrec- tion--made spirit beings like our glorified Redeemer, whom they shall gee as He Is--not as He was. Misconceptions respecting our Lord's condition have blinded our minds regarding the manner of His Second Coming, the Pastor declared: Thinking of Him as a fleshly being, we were unable to comprehend the Scriptures telling of His Parousia (presence) in the end of this Gospel Age and of the twofold work them to be accomplished. First, He will do a separating work in His Church, unseen and unknown by the world. Later on, He will be revealed to mankind, not in flesh, but "in flam- ing fire." Parousia and Epiphania. The speaker then discussed at length two words used in the Greek MSS. In reference to our Lord's Second Coming. Our English trans- lation beclouds their significance, he claims. Christ's Parousia, presence, was shown to refer to a period when, "as a thief in the night," unknown to the world, He will judge His Church, giving reward to the faith- ful. This includés the resurrection of the dead saints and the change of the living ones. After the Church has been glori- filed, the Epiphania, or shining forth of the Lord in glory, will take place, This will mean a sudden blazing forth of God's righteous indignation against all unrighteousness.

The mud was too heavy; the little creatur® could make no headway. Would the mother leave him behind? For her own safety would she desert her child? Nay! She converted ber long body Into a veritable ferry boat. For a minute #Hé stopped swimming, just long enough for the calf to over take her.

She could be he-~rd across the lake as she panted. The water flew before her nostrils and the mud was churned as by a river paddle-boat. It was fun that was too costly. Many moose had been lost in that lake, driven too hard by pléasure-seekers. Just in front of me lay a calf which had been drown- ed in a frantic effort to reach the shore, I stepped back into the brush lest there should be another tragedy. When the cow turned her head again she could not see me. Bhe waited a minute, and then scanned the entire shore behind her. No sign of the danger remained. For an hour or more she waited, trying to catch some scent on the wind, turning ber ears to gather the least sound.
