Words of One Of
The Commentators.

Without doubt" says one common
tator. many Of the older passages are
interfused With the Messianic eXpecta-
tions Of the Jews. II may be held that
the Second Advent is a mere residuum
OF Jewish esclatology; or with Angus
tine and the great majority Of OrthC~
dox theOlogians, we may hold that a
literal and actual coming is meant; or
with Russell, that the event is one with
the fall Of JerusalenE or, lastly, that
the coming is a spiritual dispensation
rather than an event, a continued sDir-
itual manifestation Of Christ among
men to he completed az the end Of
the worlds progress
