i neasr no one can know. God guards
His secrets well. God does not mark on
mans calendar the time of His move

of the Lord is near" God does not recG-
on time as does man. With him a thou
sand years are as one day and one day as

counts off the days and weeks and
months and years as reckoned by man,
and the day of the Lord draws nearer and
nearer We know that it is nearer by
several thousand years than it was when
the prophet Joel uttered the words of our
text. Yea, and as the judgment of the
Lord has fallen upon the individual ma

world has witnessed a sort of minor full
fillment of the prophecy, which gives a
faint but convincing proof of the greater
and more awful day to come. There is
the same spirit of unbelief abroad in the
world to-day as there was in the days
when Noah warned of the coming tudg-
ment of God III the flood. Jesus made
solemn reference to this when He said:
AS in those days which were before the
flood they were eating and drinking.

coming Of the Son of Man" Careless in
difference and stubborn unbelief blind
the world to the truth Either there is
hardness of heart which refuses to be-
lieye that the Lords day" is coming at
all, or there is that fatal folly which finds
comfort and encouragement in its sin
by saying My Lord delayeth His COM
ing" Injustice and oppression mark the
relation of man to man; the qualification
of every appetite and desire and lust is
sought with feverfsh and persistent eff

in the life. Man is having his day to
the fill, but, know We. 'the Lord shall
come in a day when he expecteth not,
and in an hour when he knoweth not"
The day of the Lord IS near!"
