The BabyIonan Empire was the first universal
monarchy under Gentle headship TIE evolution
was downward, not upward. The age from 'hnst 10
anti Christ IS our own age, that which affects us
chiefly Four thousand years Of experiments ana cN-
terience have proved incapable OF rising Into tho
higher and spiritual nature. This work, regeneration
and resurrection Christ came 70 do. by regeneration,
man is raised from the death Of sin TO lio o.
righteousness; by resurrection shall he DE raised TO
occnpy the kingdom which IS yet 10 come.
"The present age began with the rejection OF
Christ IL win end with the reception OF anti Christ

descends again TO earth The peculiarly OF the age
is It's mixed charcterignorance OF God and incihcr

Piety has been swept aside while pride occupies her
place 1--we to Christ has waned while pursuit after
q false liberalism has waved holly. Soundnt-'s IN
faith and contention for sound doctrine have been
undermined by fashionable scepticsln and weakened
by the dry rot OF higher criticism. Nevertheless the
lsht OF the Gospel will continue TO shine brighter and
brighter In every dark land where II finds entrance.
"Our age will not close the solemn drama enncted
upon this planet For 6,OoO years Satan has seemed
to hold the seat Of power Certainly bis heiSh work
