Suggestion and Practical Thought.
That there Is day Of Judgment is
fact but It is difficult. and not SO
important 10 decide the exact nature
or time " the coming OF the Lord 10
judgment II IS said I'm Matt 24;29-34
that this generation shall not pass
away TN all these things be accom-
plished,' and Il is repeated in Mark
1890, Luke else. and again in Matt
16:2S. there are some Of them that
stand here, which shall iu no wise
taste OF death, tin they see the Son
Of man coming In his kingdom" when
the Son OF man shall come IN the
glory OF his Father with his angels.
and then shall he render unto every
man according to his deeds"
This must refer TO the destruction
OF Jerusalem and the end OF the old
dlspeusation or age. and the coming
OF the gospel dispensatlon. But II
does not exclude the great and final
coming and Judgment day at the end
OF that age
There Is really judgment day at
every great crisis OF the nation or OF
our lives, at death, at the coming OF
rewards or punishments for our ac-
tions. at every time OF decision For
instance, we have seen within the last
few years many persons who have
been for years growing rich by graft
and dishonesty and have suddenly met
their judgment day. while others have
been reaping the rewards OF faithful
service So young men who have been
going on I'm course OF drinking and
rioting for long time. suddenly find
themselves drunkaids. In III health.

Then shall the king say unto them

Ye have done 1t unto me, the poor
and needy and sick. and all tho
classes whom Jesus helped In Pales-

earth. The only visible expression Of
our love to him is through them.
What a privilege this is to show our
love to our Master. How II enriches

pressing our love to our Master.
The unconsclousness OF the right
eous shows that their virtues were
sincere and true. WhosoeVer does
good deeds for the sake OF the reward
deserves no reward. and will obtain
none. for the soul OF goodness is left
out OF such deeds.
The cause OF the doom was the re-
fusal TO do tho deeds that belong to
the heavenly kingdom and to be ruled
by its motives. They refused to bD
fit for heaven They decided TO llTo
selfish lives. The plan OF their lives
was such th I all the evils OF soci-
ety-graft, child labor. poverty, degra-
dation, crime, oppression. drunken
ness, disease. could go on without any
effort on their part to put an end to
them.
The punishment is like the sin: Il
omits Eeayen and Joy and God and tho
companionship of the good from our
lives. and adds the everlasting fire
This is a warning of love. II Is a
statement OF the fact that by the very
nature OF things sin leads TO ruin, and
righteousness to heaven.
No evil can enter heaven, for il II did
heaven would not be heaven any
longer.
