™ will be shortly given at CABjl lERTON, on a date which will be duly announced, Addresses on "The Speedy Personal Coming of tho ■uuui oeaus onnst uom Heaven, and the Insurrection and Translation of a First-Fruits to meet Him, as declared by the "Spirit of Prophecy." Eighteen hundred years have lolled away since Our Lord aseended into heaven, and the Angels declared to His Disciples that "this same Jesus, which is taken from you into heaven, shall so cone in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven." \ And now the signs of "the last days" aref p'ainly manifest, Knowledge is increasing, Evil men and seducers arc waxing worse and worse, Scoffers have arisen, walking after their own lusts, and saying: " Where is the promise of Hiß comiug ?" There is a great apostacy from the faith, Sound doctrine is. not endured. Men are lovers of pleasuresmore than lovers of God. Iniquity abounds, and the love of many is waxing cold. Men's hearts are failing thegtfi°V; the sea and the waves—tbe MjlfflffllllP ll nationsare roaring; Church—are shamfW^PS* When "war on Go,' M on religion becomes fiorcer every d, y When the authenticity of the Sacred \-j,Tiptures is boldly denied; when "the whole drift of European tliought is to exclude the living God from the material universe;" when "hostility to the Christian fa.th has arisen, deeper, sterner, and more systematic than that which terrified our fathers in the most volcanicand tempestuous hours of the Freneh Eevolution;" when the real issue of the battle now raging is—" Is Christendom to believe any longer in Christ, or no ?" whon these are the terrible evils which face us in all directions-who can fail to perceive that " the Church is passing through one of the most violent and most decisive trials of her existence on this earth," and that we are fact approaching that time so sorrowfully anticipated by our Lord—"When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth ?"
In the hope of this Second Coming of our Lord, we invite your attention to these most solemn and holy matters; praying that you may discern this time of visitation, and be kept from the power and snares of Antichrist, and ' be counted worthy to escape all those things which shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man," Therefore, be ye also ready: for in such an hour as YE THINK NOT, the Son of Man cometh."
