THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST,
NV Rev. ,IoShua Grayett

There is no verse more clearly set
ting this forth than the verse found
in the 10th chapter of the Epistle to
the Hebrews-the verse is the 37th:
For yet a little while and he that
shall come will come and will not
larry" No matter what the condi-
lions may be, it will seem that he
came quickly; that the trial was very
brief. Paul in speaking
about certain things. that they should
give up, told them not to forsake the
assembling of themselves together, SO
much more as they see the day ap-
preaching pointing to a condition in
the church characterized by failure of
gathering together. If we sin will
fully after We have received the
knowledge of truth there remaineth
no more sacrifice for sins. | think
that this verse must be taken to be
applied to the Jewish people as a
nation, that the knowledge had come
to them-the clear knowledge and
their sin was with their eyes open.
They had seen the exhibition of the
power of God. He had wrought mira
cles at such critical moments that
they could understand the relation
of the miracles, so that the miracles
were an exhibition of the deity of
Christ and revelation of their I'M
done condition. Christ was the one
in whom God had conferred all prom
ises-national blessing to the Jew
and universal blessing to the world.
A man unsaved can fall from grace
bv despising the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ.

"A Sunday Sermon
BY A IOCAJ PASTOR -ftsUnn .
BY A LOCAL PASTOR.

| said this the difference between
Christians and Jews is this: tn,
Christian takes literally all the
prophecies referring in the Old TIES
lament to the suffering Messiah, but
whenever they find any blessings in
/ the Old Testament they spiritualiZe il
and are perfectly willing to do this:
they will give all the curses in the
Old Testament to the Jew and the
/ blessings they will steal for them.
selves.
We shall get together by believing
what the Old Testament prophecies
say about Jesus the sufferer and
Jesus the king. If baptism
saves, Jesus Christ could never have
submitted to it. The Lord Jesus
Christ showed it was not, because
when he was baptized he pictured
forth his own death and burial and
resurrection and every time a person
I is baptized today they do exactly the
same thing. Jesus Christ must be
given back from death before these
/ blessings come in. The word of God
says that the devil is the god of this
age; that he is the ruler.
The nations that are the greatest
blessing to the world today are those
who have accepted the Jew Jesus as
the Lord of their salvation and the
! Christian nations have been the bless
ing to the world.
| The Lord is rejected of the Jews,
1 but he is marrying Gentle bride in
! the church; we are heading for a
marriage and after that there is
housekeeping and after that there are
/ blessings to the end of the earth.
God gave those Jewish people the
Holy Ghost to help them keep the
/ covenant of works, but they couldn't
/ do it. God isn't helping to save, but
God is saving by grace.
| If any man be in Christ he is a new
creation. You are not put under the
| ten commandments that if you keep
them you will be saved. Moses broke
the ten commandments in pieces. The
covenant was only to last little
while. There is new covenant
covenant of grace. God is anticipat-
ing the coming of Jesus Christ The
/ word of God says, Lift up your
heads; your redemption draws nighH'
Jesus does not come to end every
thing; his work begins when he
comes. When that number ic COM
pleted God is going to begin in Christ
what he promised in Abraham and
] Jacob.
| God is furnishing the Jew today for
his rejecting the Messiah and for his
breaking the covenant of works and
the suffering is not yet completed,
and wrath shall come upon them
until the. end of the age; they shall
be in Judgment, hut. thank God, it is
coming to an end. Jesus Christ is
coming the second time and they
shall look on him whom they have
pierced, even as Joseph's brothers
/ looked on him.
When the Jew is saved according
to the mercy of God there shall go
salvation to the ends of the earth.
Nobody can pray that the Lord come
that does not understand the proph-
ecy. If it means destroying by fire,

come. The praying for the coming
of Jesus Christ will make us more
faithful to preach the gospel. Let's

The Westport ball team had a great

ting near the third base line, and for
got the pitcher.
AS the afternoon drags along in
South Norwalk the sun shines bright

cloudy. Manager McArdle thought
he had his game won, when suddenly
his pitcher began to toss wild. There
was no apparent reason, as the
pitcher was taking lots of time,
glancing toward third before deliver
ing each ball. Three batters poled
long flies to the outfeId, but not a
man moved to catch them. The
whole team was looking toward third
base.
MCArdle went over to first to see
what was the matter. He saw what
the others saw, and before he could
bring about a rally the game was lost.
The manager found that a young
lady wearing a transparent skirt was
standing back of third base, between
the playing field and the sun. Nc
Ardle decided to erect an awning
back of third base in the future.

a committee of three to dra wup reso-
lutiOns commencing the action of AL
derman Charles E. Merriam in defeat
ing the attempt of the Bell telephone
interests to grab the automatic sys-
TEN.
The vote for the resolution would
have been unanimous had not an en-
ploye of the Chicago Telephone Com
pany been present. The resolutions
were as follows:
Whereas, At a meeting of the coun-
Gil committee on gas, oil and electric
ity, July "a, an attempt was made by
the Illinois Telephone & Telegraph
Company to sell out to the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company,
the parent company of the Chicago
Telephone Company; and
Whereas, That attempt was effect
ually blocked for the time being by
Alderman Charles E. Merriam, thus
giving opportunity to the people of
Chicago to acquaint themselves with
the status of the affair and thus pre-
vent the establishment of a telephone
monopoly in Chicago; and
Whereas, The People of the district
represented by the West Englewood
Improvement and Social Association
do approve of this act by Alderman
Merriam; therefore be it
Resolved, That the people afore-
mentioned always active in the sup
preston and defeat of any measure
or act calculated to abridge or harass
our rightful liberties or promote mo-
nopolies interpreted as detrimental to
the best interests of the people of our
city, do protest the attempt of said

But Miss Steele undoubtedly had
her suspicious. Captain Lockett
was a constant visitor at Sunny
ridge, the handsome home of the
Steeles. He plainly showed his in
terest in the tall, handsome Nancy,
and whenever possible he rode and
drove with her. But
"Devvy" also rode and drove. And
"Devvy' also played as good polo as
ever. Rumor has it that there were
times when Miss Steele resented his
devotion to his game. She might
want him to win the cup, but she
also wanted his attendance on her
to be more faithful. This attitude
was not logical, but Miss Steele was
a woman.
There was no third person present
when Captain Lockett urged his
claim on Miss Steele, but, as in the
case of Mr.. Milburn, 1t is possible to
piece out the conversation.
viii you marry me? adore
you" was undoubtedly the tenor Of
the Captains conversation.
And there is no doubt that Miss
Steele said: Il will marry the man
who wins the polo cup. If the Brit
ons win you will win me, but If the
Americans win Mr.. Milburn will win
me-"
And now we come down to the
day the last game was played in the
tournament.
The American team had won the
first game, one of the most spec.
tacular and thrilling games ever
fought. The Britons we're as de-
termined to win the second game
as the Americans.
But no one was more tense dur
ing the sixty minutes play than
Nancy Steele seated in her fathers
box in the club enclosuer. When
Captain Lockett made on of these
astounding back-hand plays and sent
"Devvy" Milburn hurting down the
field after the ball, Nancy's hands
clutched her parasol' and her cheeks
flushed red as roses. There were

nament from the Britons and the cup
was kept in this country Nancy said
to herself that only man fitted to
win that cup should win her heart.
But all this time she was going
about having the usual jolly time
that girls of her wealth and social
standing have in this country. Her
sister Eleanor fell in love and mar
ried a French nobleman, Count Jean
de la Cree. Nancy was one of the
bridesmaids. Her only criticism Of
the new brother-in-law was that he
did not know a thing about polo.
Last Winter Nancy came out. Her
debut was one of the important
events of the New York season. She
danced and dined and skated and
fiirted generally, but there was no
one man with whom her name was
seriously connected. But early in
the Spring, way back in March,
when the practice polo games began,
it was seen that Nancy attended
every one of them, no matter how
cold the wind that blew over the
Hampstead plains.
