At the Concert Chamber on Sunday Mr. John Page gave an address to a large and keenly interested audience upon the subject of " The Coming of Christ." The Christ of the New Testament, he said, was Divinely inspired for the purpose of bringing a. message to the world that the material things of this life were as dross to the thing 3 that were eternal. The idea, that He would come again from tho clouds was illusionary. He had been and always was manifest to humanity. If He elected to return again it would be in a physical body, as before, and again His own would reject the message He would bring. He declared "they would not believe though one rose from the dead," and left his disciples to continue His work. Do they to-clay really want the truth, or were they antagonistic to liberty "of thought and investigation of the facts of the divine heritage of mankind? If they only would show the tolerance of the Master Christian thfey would do more for the furtherance of that kingdom of the brotherhood of humanity which He sought to establish.
