A number Of ministers, believing the
doctrius Of Christ's second personal
confIng, has besn neglected and misaE-
prekended, have called conference
which conv.ries In Rev. 5. II. Tying,
Jr's., Church, in the city OF New York,
to day. IL the Word Of tod this doc
trins holds ccnspicuous and promi
nent place, ana is strongly and con
stantly emphasized, as a personal and
imminent event. 80 vital, indeed, Is
this truth represented to be, that the
denial oi il Is pointed Out as one OF the
conspicuous signs ot tbs apostae Of the
last days. Very many Christians have
been taught to think OF the coming Of
Christ as equivalent 10 their own death
Others regard il as synonomous with
the gradual diffusion Of Christianity
while many are satisfied with this
world and have little desire for the re-
turn OF the absent Lord, and Others
speak OF the event an only fascinating
dream, destined never to be realized.
In view OF these facts these minis
tsrs, who hold to the pre- Milienial ad
vent OF Jesus Christ, have decided t.
hold q conference TO set forth in clear
terms the ground Of their hope, and
the following are the committee JAS.
