PRE-MILLENNIAL CONFERENCE
, Speaking, to a large gathering in th« Concert Chamber of the Town Hall last night on "The Two Resurrections," the Rev. Joseph W. Kemp; of Auckland, said the subject was one which had giyen rise to much controversy. There were those who, like the Sadducees of the early Christian Church, believed in no resurrection, those <vho believed in the resurrection of a section, and those' who accepted the simple doctrine of the Bible. But even among those who believed in the resurrection there was a. perverted, notion of one general resurrection, whereas there were two distinct resurrections—ono\ of. saints and one of sinners—mentioned in the Bible. The. critics called the first of these a spiritual quickening, and^ not a literal and cor-; poreal resurrection. The' late Mr.' Spurgeqn ; who was nov«r a man to be qb-. sessed witii prophecy, said that the woild was more'likely to 1 sink into pandemonium than to rise, in a millennium. They could not have the kingdom without the king. Some people said there would be what, was called a- "second cha-nre." /That was'a delusion., Character v as stereotyped at depth, never to be altered.
