which binds them, and give them
eternal FREEDOM
His death, which seemed to be
complete defeat" said the preacher.

The cry which left his lips as he gave
up the ghost was mighty cry~-a
cry which shook hell to its nethermos
abyss, and caused terror to seize the
ranks OF darkness; Il cry which caused
the sun to veil his face, the rocks to
rend and the graves of the dead TO
open.
Rapidly His kingdom Is coming in
the world" and the preacher went

geographically, the emissaries Of the
cross extending it's borders on every
hand; how 1t is coming In the political
world, in the world of art, the world

over, shall gather round the great
white throne. having laid aside the
arms and sheathed the sword, and
lift up their voices in that magni-
ficent oratorio, Unto Him that sitteth
on tae throne, and unto the lamb, be
the blessing and the honor and the
glory and the dominion. unto the
ages Hallelutsh! for the Lord, our
God the Almighty. reigneth."
