Revival Notes.

The pastor of the M. E. Church
preached last evening on sThe Day
OF Judgment from the woIGs Il
saw great white throne, and Him
that sat on it, from whose face the
earth and the heaven fled away He
named memorable historic DAYS, but
none of these were so awfully mo
mentous as the day of Judgment.
Peter said that Christ has appoint
ed this day, Some future dates
are uncertain, but not this one No
one living can name the day when
our treaty with Spain will be rati-
fed; or when our legislature will
elect the new u. S. Senator; or when
our proposed new church will be
dedicated. God knows the date of
this Judgment day. Jesus publicly
said that only His Father" had
this knowledge. Astronomers can
name the dates, hundreds of years
in advance, when the sun, moon and
stars will undergo eelipses; but no
telescope has swept the date when
these orbs will darken forever and
the great white throne of judgment
be erected. Christ compared the
suddenness Of it's advent to the rain
of fire of Sodom and the swift cleo
trio bolt The Johnstown flood,
the Charleston earthquake and the
great Chicago fire were not so sud-
den as will come the judgment
morning Paul says "after death
the judgment. Free thinkers de-
clare that all suffering for sin
is in this life. But the
comparatively happy lives of
many gamblers, prostitutes,
thieves and bad people, and the life
long sufferings of multitudes of holy
saints, deny this theory. The Shah
of Persia, annually, has his health
tested in gold plated balances, by
his weight; but we go into the eter-
nal balances more accurate than sci
ence has constructed, after death.
Paul said, 1--WE must all appear be-
fore the judgment seat Of Christ "
Rich men here may escape the As
SCISSORS call, legal teehnicalities may
save criminals from prison, and
bankruptcy laws may enable thieves
escape their honest debts; but none
will escape the final judgment All
secrets are to be uncovered. Christ
is to be the impartial judge Ma
homet the second slew his son Mus
tapha for adultery. A Mexican king
slew his own boy for crime, de-
string to make manifest the infexi-
bility of Mexican laws. The Roman
emperor, TraJan gave his favorite
son to poor widow whose only son
one of the emperors sons had mur-
dered. The eternal judge shall be
the merciful Redeemer Christ de-
scribed the separations of the judg-
ment by the line of spiritual purity.
Alexander refused to run a public
race with peasant because be was
the son of a king. Beyond the grave
kings and peasants stand side by
side, TO be Judged by common
standard of law. Christ told John
at Patmos, that after death charac-
acter is unalterable. Filthy or holy
here, so are we as the deathless ages
move on forever. The great day APP
proaches. An insane but pious
young man of Wales, daily watched
the skies from his window, expect
ing to see Christ's appearance at any
moment. ] plead with you to live
daily as though to morrow would
usher in the day of judgment.
After the sermon ayoung lady,
converted yesterday, came forward
and joined the church, and another,
at the inquiry meeting gave her
heart and life to God.
