\ kind lady has sen, me a book Of $50
pages called "Millcunial Dawn" published
by III. Tower Publishing Co., in Pii,sJurg,
IA, which will, | believe, awaken the think
ing world | see tha, its sale is already over
twenty-five thousand. 1t is impossible to
read this book without loving the writer and
bordering his wonderful solution Ct the great
mysteries that have troubled us all our lives
There is hardly 4 family To be found that has
not lost some loved one Who died outside the
church-out>idc the plan Of salvation and If
Calyinism be tue outside Of all hope and in
side of eternal tormcn; and despair. We
smother our feelings and iun away from the
horrible picture. We care not deny the faith
Of our fathers, and yct can IL lie possible that
the 6, cd mother ami her wandering child aie
forever separaicd-f,revcr end forever?
believe it is The rigidiiy Of these !, ach.ngs
tina, makes atheists and in!.dc!s and sktp;ics-
makes Christians unhappy and brings their
gray hairs down IN sorrow 10 the grLye-a
lost child, a lost soul,
Let us see how many lost souls. The gccg-
raphers give the world present population o
fourteen hundred milon, of whom My one
hundred and sixteen million are Christians
that is, who live in Christian CouulT.cs. OF
these, only sixteen million are adult members
OF the church; and Of these, about one million
walk not after the flesh but after tie spirit.
That is a beautiful piciurc.-on!y one million
of truly good, pinus Chr stan people in all the
word, and thirteen hundrcd and rinoty nine
millions who are elected 10 lie otornally
damned. Add 10 these figures one hundred
and foriytwo billions, who have already lived
and died in the ages past, and if ali these are
damned, il docs look like Gods plan cf saliva
ton was miserable failure. He gets enc soul
for glory while Satan captures thousands.
This wonderful book teaches that Trial is vet
TO comc-that all arc To rise from tie dead
when Christ comes, thai lie viii oier lis sal
vation TO all people; not only To the living,
but to those who rise from the dead. His
kingdom will he supported by the saints and
BY good people everywhere, and the mother
viii have another chance 10 reclaim her wan
dcring child and bring him unto the Kingdom.
This wonderful book makes no assertions that
are not well sustained by the Scriptures. Ii
is built up stone by stone, and upon every
stone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid Of
Gods love, and mercy, and vision. There
is nothing III the Bible thai the author denies
or doubts, but there are many texts that he
throws 4 flood Of light upon that seems 10 I'M
cover its dark and gloomy meaning. | see
that editors of leading journals, and many
orthodox ministers OF dihercn; denominations,
have Endorsed it and haze confessed 10 this
new and comforting lgh, that has dawned
upon the Interpretation OF Gods book. Then
let every man read and ponder and take COM
fort, for We are all prisoners Of hope. This
is an age Of advanced thought ard more
thinking is done than ever before, men dare
10 think now. Light-more light, is the
watchword. ELL AKP.
