His text was. God hath made Of
one blood all nations OF men, for to
dwell upon the face of the earth; and
hath determined the times before APP
pointed, and the bounds of their hab-
itatlons, that they should seek the
Lord, II haply they might feel after
Him and find Him." (Acts xvii, 26.
27) He said
My text is taken from Saint Paul's
address to the Athenians. whom he

ed an idol to every known deity, and
! then one prominently ito the UNI
known Cod The words of my text
have been repeatedly borne in upon
my mind In my sojournings Of the
past four months. I marvelesl as /
perceived the thoroughness OF the di-
vision Of the human family as re-
suit Of the confusion of language.

Conditions Now Changing.
| 1t should not surprise us to find al
this time great changes imminent
amongst the peoples of the whole
world. The bounds Of human habita-
ton and the barriers of language are
rapidly yielding because Of the times
Of Divine appointment which have
been reached, the period mentioned in
4 Daniels prophecy as 1.-THE Time OF
the End. 4" Daniel xii. A. And here
we must remind you afresh that The
Time Of the End does not mean the end
OF time 1t merely signifies the time
for the ending Of the present order Of
things, that a New Order, the Messiah
lie Kingdom, may be substituted.
Twenty i've centuries ago God deter
mined this time and gave us four i'm.
portant proofs by which to identify 1t.
/ ~ The first sign Of The Time OF the
End was to be, Many shall run to and
fro" How wonderfully this prophecy
lis fulfilled before our eyes today! Its
fulfilment has been in progress, espe-
cially, for fifty years, and it is less Eban
eighty years since the first locomotive
4 was built. The nations, first separated
4 by diverse languages, have kept well
within the bounds OF their habitations
until now: suddenly we have running
| to and fro In fulflment Of this prophecy
which is amazing! The various ma
tfons and languages are being scatter
ed all over the earth. &. rs

Age is. y knowledge shall be ipcreas.
