that sees the full meaning of the

the wonderful new things in cur day
and the shadowNof great events to
come, when there is to be "a new

to dissolve the old order, that the new
may take its place? Speaking of
Christ, the Prophet says, Whom the

factory. the farm. the mines-the
ramifications of electricity in every
department of life. even in all the dis
eovories of science, new" is marked
on everything. Hence we have the
new EARTH" pretty well fitted up for
the new man in Christ Jesus When
he shall appear all shall welcome him
and it can be said. "All who see them

the counsel of his own will" Amen.
Now think YOU the Lord is going Ia

the process of Il change of natures

We are often hearing the rumbings
