Nh@'sN"' AHeJ may Or may not play
part in the trouble Of this Great ~,
The Shaking Of Mount Sinai Tyuie,i
In our context the Apostle comma,

dated by the Rcdeemer. with the ~,
cal Law Covenant given to Nsty,.l
Israel at Mount Sinai at the nands !,
the typical mediator Moses. There u.
voice, the cloud, the darkness. the livs.
ming, the thunders, the earthouais,
were literal Here, now beginning =,
have the antiques Of these in the IN,
guration of the Antitypcal Coyens,.
which, at the hands Of The Christ !, !,
bring the wonderful blessings fOretos
to all mankind.
st. Paul declares that the Word q,
the Lord upon this subject implies Il,
removing OF all things that can !,
shaken, so that only the unshakaS,
things will remain; and these un,hs.
able things he associates with CoS,
Kingdom OF righteousness. When wiz
the eyes of our understanding opep y,
look about US, We see very many thip,,
that evidently are not permanent. ma
right, not satisfactory TO God and !,
all who love righteousness and hate h.
EQUITY; and when we reflect that "A,
shaking will be such as 10 loosen sns
destroy all the imperfect things Of Il,
present time, we can better imsgir,
than describe the severity Of tia
shaking.
In the Revelation this same though,
is expressed under the figure OF
mighty earthquake, the like Of whi,,
there had not been before and would
never be thereafter. Revelation 1915
Throughout the Apocalypse the tern
earthquake is used to symbolically req.
resent revolution. We are 10 expec,
then, a great revolution, a gres,
earthquake, which will overthrv
everything that is not Of the Lords es.
adjustment and approval. From this
standpoint a certain class can read he
signs of the times intellgently and
with confidence; and this class n.
Scriptures call the Lords little foes'

Daniel 1910.
The Lords consecrated people, DOS
sessed of His Spirit, cannot in an
sense rejoice at tribulations comm.
upon others. Their rejoicing can B.
only in respect to the glorious thinu
which they hope to experience ani
know to be near by these outwsrt
signs. They rejoice not merely o.
their own behalf, but also on behalf 0.
the whole world; for they have the as
surance of the Scriptures that benin
this Time of Trouble, which looms W
as a dark cloud to cover the entire 50.
cial world, there is a silver lining; an;
that shortly the glorious Sun o.
Righteousness Will blaze forth, dispe
every cloud and all the shadows q

Great Changes Now Due.
Evidently wonderful changes will b,
effected, some TO be brought about
gradually. We all know of the gradua
change of the temperate zone-its er
tension further and further toward th'
poles. We notice also the increasing
moderation nearer to the equator
Those who recognize the Power Of Co
can have full confidence that He Is abb
to perform all the glorious promises o
His Word respecting the paradlssiei
conditions of this earth for the use G.

As already intimated, social vi
