The doctrine OF dying 10 glory nj

eal doctrine, but has been exploded long
ago by such passages IN the foregoing
and following: "FOr evil d0era shall be

tho meek shall inherit the earth, and
shall delight themselves In the abun-

the righteous shall inherit the land aud

In TO give you part OF the foundation OF
my belief. that the great progress made
In the worlds history within the last
lfty years IL q yeriACatlOn Of Danlol'a
prophecy. "in the time Of the end many
shall run 10 and fro, and knowledge
shall be increased" Thus all the im-
prOyements In agricultural ana h0rli-
cultural products are no designed by
the Great Am az n preparation for the
advent Of His Son, 10 gather out Of his
Kingdom all things which offend and
them which do iniQuity." We have |
shown you that people Will build aud
inhabit houses, plant fruit trees ana eat |
the fruit thereof, and worship God un-
der their own vine and fig tree,
These may be new ideaa 10 many OF
you, but win bear u rigid investigation. |

hold fast that which IL good" "And the |
Lord will wipe away all toara from all1

81. John the ReVelat0r, who In u yis- |
ion was carried forward 10 tho end Of |
the present age or dispenaatlOn, says:
81 saw a new heaven and "A new earth |
for the FIRST heaven and the llrat
earth arc passed away, and the sea " no |
more, Aud saw the holy city, New
Jerusalem, coming down out Of heaven
from God made ready ~ a bride ad0fn' |
ed for her husband. And heard great |
voice out Of the throne, saying; Behold, |
the tabernacle Of God IN with men, and
hO shall dwell with them and they shall
DO his people; and God himself sholl be
with them aud be their God. Aud no
shall wipe away all tears from their |
eyea and death shall bo no more, nei- |
ther shall there be mourning nor cry
ing nor pain any more, The llrsl things
nre passed away; aud no that aittOth on
the throne aaid, behold, ! am all things
new" mark, not oil new things,) "And
no saith, write, for these words are |
faithful and true" Aud after giving a |
glowing description Of the state and |
condition OF thinga, he concludes with. |
"And on this side Of tho river and on |
that, was the tree Of life bearing twelve
manner Of fruita," (marglnal reading, |
"crops Of fruit, y yielding its fruit every |
month. aud the l0Nyes Of the tree were
for the healing Of tho nations. And |

he says "rhese words are faithful and
true.'
eth Psalm. The people are oxhorted |
TO praise God, with promise Of reward,
VIZ. "Lot the people praise thee, o God;
lot MI the people praise thee. Then shall |
the earth yield her increase" In the |
Sbth Psalm: "Yea tho Lord shall give |
that which IN good and our land ahNll
yield her increase" In zachariah s.l2
"For the seed shall be prosperous; the
vine shall give her lruit,Nnd the ground
shall give her ncroOso; aud the heavens |
shall give their dow. Aud | Will cause |
the remnant Of thispeoplo TO possess all
these things. Bzoklel 3l;27; "And tho
tree of the field shall yield her fruit,and
the earth shall yield her increase, and
they shall be safe Ia their land, and
shall know that | am the Lord"
in conclusion, we would say we have
great faith that God's original plan for
which the earth was created will not be
thwartod; and that ho has fully revealed
that plan TO M through his word, That
while Christ our great high priest has
offered u sacrifice and entered within
the vail of the temple, he will surely
come forth and bless IN. For wRa II
not prophesied, viz; aye men Of Gall.
lee why stand 70 gazing up into heaven
for tho same Jesus that you have seen
ascending into heaven shall no come
again In like manner. and that all
things shall be restored" Acts 3;20.2l.
