THE RESURRECTION SOON
Tho ground floor of tho Princess Theatre I was comfortably filled on Sunday night to hear the representative of the Australasian branch of.the 1.8.5. A.. Mr William W. Johnston, in .an interesting lecture contending that the time for the dead to be resurrected' was at"hand.' Tho speaker pointed to'the folly of too great reverence for men's ideas without proper clamination and proof of their statements. 'J he immortality of man was brought to otestion, and tho lecturer, taking the_ Holy Scripture for his evidence, and which he quoted freely, claimed that tho Bible taught that man was not immortal, and that he could die, and does i'ie. He further proclaimed that man's "nso \as not a hopeless one, for the Great ("leilor, perfect in justice, wisdom, love, and power, had provided in Jesus, His Son (tho righteous one), a deliverer for all iVoni death and its concomitants—sorrow, sighing, tears, and crying. That this stupendous work was not yet put into operation was no cause for disappointment; the Gospel Ago beinp a parenthesis, some twenty centuries in duration, permitted and provided for the development of the new rulers of earth's affairs about to be established on the ruins of the present order of society.
