THE First Address on the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ will be given in the New Town Hull, Carterton, on Monday evening next, December Ist, at half-past 7 o'clock, by JAMES MUOBE CAITISLY, Sankey's hymn books will be used, Subject : "The Speedy Personal Comins; of the Lord. Jesus Christ from Heaven, and the Resurrection and Translation of a First-Fruits to meet Him, as declared by the " Spirit of Prophecy." _ Eighteen hundred years have iolled 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 come in li/x manner as yo have seen Him go into heaven." And now the signs of 1 ' the last days" arc p amly manifest, Knowledge is increasing, Iwil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse. Scoffers have arisen, walking after their own lusts, and saying: " Where is the promise of Hi? coming»" There is a great apostacy from the faith, Sound doctrine is not endured. Men are lovers of pleasures inoro than lovers of God, Iniquity abounds, and the love of rnauy is waxing cold. Men's hearts are failing them for fear; the sea and the waves-'the peoples and the nationsare roaring; and the powers of heaven—the Church—are shaken, When "waroll God aid on religion beomes fiercer every daywhen the authenticity of the Sacred Scriptures is boldly denied; when -'the whole drilt of liurupean thought is to exclude the living God from the materiul universewhen " hostility to the Christian fa tli has arka, dcepe ,■ sterner, and move systematic than that which terrified our fathers in the most volcanicand tempestuous hours of the French Involutionwhen the real is-ue of the battle now raging is-" Is Christendom to believe any longer in Christ, or no?" when 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 wa are fart approaching that time so sorrowfully anticipated by our Lord-" When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith ou the earth ?" In the hope of this Second Coming of our Lord, we invite your attention to the°se most solemn and holy matters; praying that yon may discern this time of visitation, and be kept from the power and snares of Antichrist, and • be counted worthy to escape all those tiii- gs which shall come to pass, and to stand before tlie Son of Man." Therefore, be ye also ready: for in such an hour as YE THINK NUT, the Son of Man cometh."
