IN the Methodist Episcopal church yester.
day afternoon to hear Mr.. Bliss speak on
the "Three Appearances of Christ First,
His appearance on the earth; second, His
appearance in heaven; third, His second
coming to the earth" He said that the
Bible encompasseth all of Gods dealings
with man from the very beginning, and it
Is only those people that stumble over
certain passages OF it that don't read and
believe it as u whole, aud so refuse
to be guided thereby. In the ninth
chapter OF st. Paups epistle to the Hebrews,
beginning with the twenty second
verse comparison is made between
Christs blood aud the blood of offerings,
while in the twenty-sixth verse is an nc.
count of the three appearances of Christ,
The present time is the time of the Cen
tiles and is known as the days of mercy,
which are promised so that it is unknown
In the Scriptures And as the Scriptures
have and are being rapidly fulfilled, and
as Christ is now in heaven acting as
mediator and intercessor for us. there is
coming Of Christ is near at hand. He did
not intend, however to make the mistake
of many Of naming the date. Gods time
Is not our time, so we must work, watch
and pray to be ready at his coming. The
last meeting Of this interesting series was
closed by Rev. George E. Guild Offering
