Tho second Advent.

Beautiful and iru,hful has DR.. Claiming
spoken Of the doctrine Of the second advent. In
his memorable discourse in Berkshire, a little
before his death:
"There are some among rs at the present
moment who are waiting for the speedy COM
ing Of Christ. They expect. before another
wear closes, to hear his voice, TO stand before
his iudrmen, seat. These illusions spring
from misn,erpre,a.ion OF scripture language.
Christ, in the New Tes,crment, Is said TO
come, whenever his religion breaks out IN new
glory. OF gains new ,rlumphs. lie came IN
the Holy Spirit on the day OF Peniecost. lie
came 10 the destruction Of Jerusalem, which

day. four years ago, when through his religion
eiph, hundred thousand men were raised from

and fellowship of men. Christ's outward APP
pearance is Of little moment compared with the
brighter manifestation Of his spirit. The
Christian, whose inward eyes and ears are
touched by God. discerns the coming OF Christ,
hears the sound Of his chariot wheels and the
voice Of his trumpet when no other pefceises
them. He discovers the Savior's adven, in
the dawning of higher truth on the world. in
