Pefsrring 10 the text the bishop laid
s. sDq,al emphasis on the necessity of ev-
ev Christian observing the signs of the
times "Nlany overlook this matter, say

THE mighty forces of His power will
grind into powder everything that does
no, serve his purpose, therefore it be-
booyes US to consider what are the signs
Of the times We will consider for a mo-

and some people call il preaching, but
81 il Is not even an assault with intent to
preach, and is no more than a dissertation

One Of the signs the Bishop said, is
IS the great increase in commerce. The
Christian world has accumulated In the
l8s. seyenty-6ve years more treasure than
oil the world accumulated during the
egheenth century. America has 800 COO,
M0O and England $4,000, 10000, and these
figures are pretty sure not to be over
MED, for they are based upon the tax
esessor returns and no matter how fond
ddsplay we may be, we make no I'M
Rctssary ostentation when the assessor
@nes around With oil this immense
tasure he continued, what are we going
do? Not build pyramids, nor yet hang
Ing gardens. The only work that would
Justify the outlay of this treasure would
De q religious work; we want a revival In
RELIGION and we want to send out more

Of course, some people will ask, does
Il DO any good, just as some physicians

smallpox is any good.
