of eternity. The expression was not un-

Second Thessalou it,occurs where he
speaks of the coming of the Lord ito be-
glorifed in his saints and to be admired
in AL them that believe iD that day."
Again, IN this chapter. only g feW lines
saboSes the text, he senplo the ssme
phrase, as he sees the glittering sword OF
the executioner SO near, and the Lord,
the nigsshteous sJud dge, standing :just be-

his hand for the poor. head which was
about to roll il the dust. know whom
ST have Believed, and am persuaded that
he is able tokeep that which / have COM
mitted unto Him against that-day.
And so the truth is at once put beyond
denial grd beyond the need of argument,
for all who accept this book as Gods
word, that there Isl to- be, a day Of. judg-
ment for this; world. Men may discuss
this question or that bearing upon the
truth nature of the great trial, or.

& believes the Bible, that God has appoiB-e

world in righteousness, - by that man
