a Spirit Being wholly invisible to man
kind, but nevertheless the very same
Jesus, the same personality, the same
Ego, who was once amongst men;
the same Ego or personality who pre-

His departure seen and known
throughout the worldf Mol Neither

1t to others. In Like manner a second
coming win be known only to the few.

Rule. This win mean at the first a
great time Of trouble. an overturning
