A LECTURE ON CHREST,S SEC
OND COMING.

For eighteen centuries Chrlstendom has ex-
pected the second coming OF Christ. From
father to son, from generation to generation,
this idea has come down from the Primitive
church. During all these ages Christ has not ap-
peared In response to the expectation of Christ
endom, and we are here to show that the rea-
son He has not appeared Is because He came at
the siege of Jerusalem, A. D. 20. 'in the clouds
OF Heaven with power and great glory" and
judged the righteous and wlcke d, the quick
and dead of the Primitive Church and Jewish
Nation. This Is the proposition we propose to
establish by careful review OF the New Tesla
ment.
We present the idea that Christ came In
Judgment at the destruction of Jerusalem as
discovery, and ask for 1t prayerful re cep-
ton. No one Can understand the Biole with
out this view OF Christ's second coming, and
herein Is the great value OF the discovery.
In examining this subject we wipe away the
tradition and mist and unbelief OF past ages
and stand on the words Of Jesus Christ con-
corning His own coming and the expectation
OF Paul and the Primitive Christians. We im-
agtne ourselves with Christ and Paul In Ju-
dea They were addressing common people,
shd we take them at their word. We believe
they said what they meant and meant what
they said.

The Kentucky Messiah.

Wonderful stories are told Of the ser
mons and works Of a preacher named
Barnes, a highly educated man. who,
declining fashionable pulpits and high
salaries, las given himself to missionary
work among the mountaineers Of south
western Kentucky. Except for his ap-
uarent belief in supernatural influences,
manifested on demand among material
things. such as the ailments of people so
sick that they have been given up by
physicisns. there seems to be nothing IN
the essential. of Mr. Barnes faith that
ANY practical Christian can object to,
vet his influence Is So great that crowds
Aoek to hear him, and his converts follow
him from place to place. The real secret
of the new evangelists success seeris to
be that the people see man who Is Ut
terly without sel6shness. Mr.. Barnes ac-
cepts no salary nor any compensation
but that of shelter and food from day to
day for himself, his wife and his daush-
ter, both Of these ladies being assistants
in the work to which the head OF the
family devotes himself. Probably thous-
ands Of pastors receiving high salaries
are equally unselfsh, for only themselves
know how self-denying good pastors are
that they may relieve the necessities OF
the poor; but this spirit, to have Its full
effect in a community, must be known Of
all men. The Kentuckians know that
Mr. Barnes has declined "soft things,
and that of itself would be enough TO
secure general admiration and respect
for him, even where his teachings out OF
the evangelical order. Such man can
afford to decry special sins instead of
defending special doctrines; be can
preach the extreme unselhshness incul-
Gated by Jesus, and not fear that some
one will sneeringly ask if he practises
what he prcacheA Cnsel6shness Is
heroism the world over, and the man
~ho eractises it, whether he be priest
or tramp, is hero in the estimation of
every one.
