AT the close of the doctors narration,

the day of judgment" No synopsis of

Will be attempted The speaker made it
appear from scripture, nature and reason,
that the second coming of Christ has al
ready taken place, that the resurrection of
tue dead was progressive work and the
day of judgment was every day. His
scripture references were John xiv: 8, 1S
20, 70. ~; Luke xiv; Let Cor. XIV; Luke |
XXX; 81, and xiii; John xii: 81. The |
Iorce, fire and energy Of his speaking |

awake; in fact, would almost raise the |
dead. The brilliant periods and sharp sal |
lies often convulsed the audience with |
laughter, and brought down the house
with rounds of applause. His delivery
was very rapid, in fact could not have been
much less than two hundred words per
minute.
