THE END OF THE WORLD.
Rev. E. R. carswen Becomes a Prophet.
Atlanta Consultation.

l18QeO GQlOuEuOuG Lu6 WoIlu lCGoAey,
DR.. E. r. Carswell's sermon on that sub.
ject last Sunday has created much COM
ment.
DR.. Carswell is man of advanced
thought, and has given this subject much
study. he does not claim to know def
nitely the exact date of the millennium, but
predicts that all indications go to show it
will be in the near future.
The Constitution saw DR.. Carswell and
asked him for his views on the subject
The doctor said:
"Your special from Douglasville touch
ing my sermon last Lords day calls for
brief statement, ex-cathedra, which am
glad to make.
"You justly stated that I specified no
date as to the precise time when our Lord
should appear" 10
"On what do you base your conclusions
concerning these predictions ?"
Here the doctor entered into quite a
discussion of the subject, the substance
of which is given below:
Having shown that the prophecies are
all fulfilled, only fragments of the last few
remainingto be translated into history,
and having demonstrated that the leading
'signs" already emblazon the sky, by the
appearance of which the Savior himself
declared, $50 likewise ye, when ye shall
see all these things, know that BE is near,
even at the DOORS" the preacher proposed
an arithmetical calculation, based on
Daniels numerical prophecies, which
point to November 8, 1894, as the date of
the expected command to rebuild the
temple at Jerusalem; to March 5, 1895,
or sixty-nine weeks after the last, as the
probable time of the actual coming of
Jesus as bridegroom to receive his bride;
to April II, 1901, as the date.of the close
iofs this dispensation and the opening of
the millennial age-that is, conformable
to the preceding dates in the calculation.
Special pains we're taken to emphasize
the fact that these dates are not so many
predictions, but that, inasmuch as three
other great events suspended upon the
same calculation have come to pass on the
precise day pointed to by the prophetical
numerals of Daniel, we should not be
surprised if the fourth and last event
likewise fell upon its date; and that, to
say the least, these figures seem 30 in
harmony with the undoubted stage OF the
signs and the prophecies, that We may
"know," as Jesus says we should know,
'that he is nigh, even at the doors." 1t
was repeated that the calculation was
displayed simply to arouse our dull sense
to q sense of therimportance Of studying
Gods word and the signs of the times,
bearing upon this great event for which
all other events we're made.
5 BY believing what our Lord said, Matt.
XIV, Is, ,16, and looking out for the sign
of the destruction of Jerusalem, every
believing Jew escaped unharmed from the
beleaguered city to Pelham, whereas hum
dreds of thousands perished because of
that unbelief that laughed to scorn the
very idea of such doom and needed not
the, warning. Even 30 with reference to
our Lords coming. The promise that he
will "appeat the second time without a
sin-oAering unto salvation" is made only
Ito such:as ! look for him."
ss The Occupancy of Jerusalem once again
by the Jews-nearly 81, 900 already there
and thainumber increasing daily, as the
last weeks papers announce, and their
turning to Jesus Of Nazareth, as their re.
deemer and hope, indicate, beyond ques-
tion, that ne are in the twilight of the
present age. Compare, Rom. xi, 25 with
Luke xxi, "a, and "be not faithless, but
believing"
The one special sign now just in the
near future, according to all indications,
is command to rebuild the temple. This
must be preceded by war in Europe
that will restore the ten kingdom empire,
for which portents already appear on the
horizon of the east. l would simply say
to the people, be wise like the Christian
Jews Who lived in the awful times of the
typical destruction, and read the secular
press each week to see when the command
to restore the temple goes forth-when
that comes, the remaining events will
rush in upon the world with more than
electrical rapidity. And the Jews may
be expected soon to prepare the restora-
ton of the temple. Like the Franco
Prussian and ko.Russian wars, which
were wars of prophecy-this last great
prophetic var may be sudden, sharp,
quick and decisive.
We are living in an hour of startling
eyents-this is denied only by scofers
and such as willfully negotiate the study
of these great subjects.
1t becomes all to set their houses in
order. Let the saints of God say, "Even
so, come Lord Jesus" And let every one
who reads these words make haste to pre-
pare to meet the descending Lord. "Be-
lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
shalt be saved"
The doctors views have created much
comment, and many speculations.
He is giving this matter special study,
and may be heard from again.
