MR LIND'S LECTURES

There were between five and six hun~ dred people present in the Empire Picture Theatre last evening, when Mr Lind spoke on ' The Central Point in Human History.' He outlined human history generally from the fall of Adam in Eden to the coming of Jesus Christ, showing that the progeny of Cain became an aggressive and warlike people, establishing and progressing in civilisation, while the children of Seth, Cain's brother, became a quiet, pastoral people, retaining a knowledge of the true God. He dealt with the civilisation of the Greeks and the Romans, pointing out that civilisation does not imply moral and spiritual progress. The coming of Jesus Christ was at a time when the civilisation and political situation of the world had reached the culminating point, and so it is written: " Once in the end of the age Christ appeared, to take away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." Mr 'Lind concluded by explaining that' the personal history of overy individual is a miniature of the race : —(1) Born innocent, with a predisposition to sin; (2) coming to a knowledge of sin through the law (human or divine), and reaching the central point by coming face to face with Christ, where his personal choice settles his eternal destiny. Mr Lind then made an appeal to the audience to accept Jesus Christ atf their personal Saviour.
