"A. 80. -
BiD.e, having dehnite data from It's begin
ming. ended Those who were engaged Ia
the great Advent movement ef 1884, based
their faith upon the ending Of that period.
They walked up 10 that paint upon the
prophetic plank. and came 10 It's end; ana
a. no period of prophetic time reaches this
side of that year, the just have been obliged
10 live by pure. smple faith. Those who
have since that time atterD pied TO interpret
prophetic periods As having an end, and
have from time 10 time. set a date Tor
Christ TO appear and the world come 70 an
cod. have had nothing whsteyer upon
which 10 base their computations. Those
who proclaimed the close OF time in 1874
were correct IN that prophetic time
| did close then. they were correct Ia
proclsiming q coming OF Christ 1t was
| not q coming TO this earth, but coming 10
| the inyestigstive judgment.
The prophetic periods having run out in
| 1874 IL has been necessary for the just TO
| live by faith since that time more especially
| than previous TO that time. And they must
necessarily be obliged to continue to live 5y
faith clear through TO the close.
The speaker dwelt with force upon the
| application Of The exhortation, Cast not
| away your confidence" Believers in the
present Advent movement must not cast
away their confidence In that early Advent
| movement, for il was all in the purpose oil
GOD, and in the fulfilment of Scripture.
| The faith that is required that Gods peo-
| pie should have il such as was exemplifisd
by Enoch. who walked with Goo 800 years,
and was then translated. 1t Is such faith
as Noses had. Enoch stands rs the repre-
! sentative of those who will be translated
| when Christ comes. Moses was resurrecied
| and stands az the representative OF the
righteous dead. who will be resurrecied 81
Cbrist's second advent.
The characteristics Of the faith that was
shown by those two men-Enoch anC
Moses-were dwet upon quite largely by
| the speaker and the most encouraging ex-
| noriatioDs given in favor of It's practice.
Tie sermon was in every way calculated
| to benefit and encourage the hearers.
Shortly after the conclusion Of the ser
mon a session Of the State Tract and Mis-

At 7:30 O'Clock Elder M. B. Mile
preached a discourse the theme of which
was faith. Lessons were drawn from tn
faith OF Caleb and Joshua as shown wher
they returned from spying out the land o
Canaan. They only OF the twelve spies tha
were sent up were in favor Of going forward
and attempting TO possess the land; oil the
| others declared that they could not possess
the land because OF the giants and mighty
| nations that inhabited il. The people al
agreed with the ten fsithless spies, an,
made bitter complaints that they had eve
left Egypt. Because of their lack of fatl

only were permitted TO enter the promise'

out of Egypt. The application was mad
by the speaker to the children of God IN th
present tunes. The eIxnple OF Caleb an
