According to the writer's under.
standing of the Bible, the Gospel dis
pensation will expire at midnight
November 12, 1881. At that tim,
Christ will descend into our atmos
phsre. The holy dead and living wil
then be made Immortal, and Will b,
caught uF into Che uir to meet tn,
Lord at His coming. The nstionl
will then be ushsred into judgment
period of forty years duration, sftel
which the earth will be renovated BY
fire. The wicked will be destroyed by
this fire. See Isaiah xiv, g. Tht
good alone will be preserved. Chris
will reign personally and visibly ovei
she new earth for thousand years
A city ma,le Of pure gold is to descep1
out of Heaven from Gol. 1t vii! 6e

cumlereuce. 1t will be the royal city
OF Christ, and His saints who reign
with Him.
This will be the golden age Of the
earth. The curse will be removed
from man, from woman, from the ami.

Through these open polar regions the
suu 5 rays will be poured. The inner
world will thus be filed with beauty
and fight, and warmth, the same n
the outer world. The "prison" re-
fsrred TO in Isaiah Xiv, 2,where ths
wicked Kings of the earth and the de
mons are to be "shut up" during th'
millsnnium is to be located between

The first three chapters of the Bible
refer to the Eden that was lost through

Before we reach that blissful period,
the Judgment Of God, as outlined in
the book of Revelations and the old
prophets, are to come upon an 7un-
godly world for its sims. The writer
believes with all his heart these judg-
ments begin in 1881, bv the,openine

1t is "a very remarkable coincidence
that at midnight of November II, the
seven stars, from whence Christ will
descend, and Jupiter, the earth and
the sun will all be in direct line

awful earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
whiiwinds and tornadoes that the
world has ever witnessed. The noun.

also with torrents of water, caused by
the melting of accumulated SHOWS OF
centuries. Whole cities will be swept
