by its king. Jesus,
the King. was present, but they did
not recognize Him. Similarly, through
out the Gospel Age, His Church has
been undiscerned by the world. '"The
world knOweth us not, even as it
knew Him not" Christ and the Church
in the flesh have been only the King

authority in Gods due time.
"Days Of the Son Of Man."
Turning to His disciples, Jesus said.
The days will come, when ye shall
desire to see one of the days Of the
Son Of Man, and ye shall not see it.
And when they shall say unto you, See
here; or, see there: go not after them.
nor follow them. For as the lightning.
that lighteneth out Of one part under
heaven, shineth unto the other part
under heaven; so also shall the Son of
Man be in His Day."
This is better understood when we
translate the Greek word astrape as
shining, instead Of lightning. Evident
ly our Lord referred to the sun
The Day of Christ is the Millennium
and His statement was one of His
clark sayings" respecting which He
promised that in due time the Holy
Spirit would grant enlightenment. This
portion is now becoming clear.
Then, to indicate that these things
belonged to distant time, Jesus ex
planned that first He must suffer many
things and be rejected of that nation
Coming back to the signs of His pres

days of Noah, so shall it be also in the
days Of the Son Of Man"
Here we have something definite. At
the time for the establishment of the
Kingdom, everything will 60 along

Deluge and the destruction Of Sodom
Then mankind ate, drank, married

are mentioned merely to indicate that
the world will have no outward sign

illustrated by the Deluge and Sodom's
destruction. His own presence is to
be unknown to the world until the
trouble is precipitated.
The Time of Trouble Is frequently
described as burning of the world,
and all the creeds Of Christendom ex-
press the thought that the earth is to
be burned. They overlook the fact
that the heavens" are to be burned
In the symbolical language of the BIZ
BILE, the earth represents the social or

masses; and the heavens, the ecclesi-
astical powers. st. Peter declares that
these will pass away with great con-
fusion, and that instead will come new

A very Interesting feature CT the
petition is the manner in which
many Indians have affixed their sigma

they have made their mark by the
Bertillion system-first dipping the
thumb into ink or pressing it upon
an ink pad, and then pressing it upon
the paper by the side of which thumb

an amendment to the state constitu

system.
The commission declares that uni.
formity Of taxation is impossible un.
der the present constitutional provis-

use amounts virtually to a real estate
tax. 1t is pointed out that the per-
sonal property Of Washington pays
only Is per cent Of the total taxes
paid in the state, the land and other
realty paying the remaining IS per
cent
The proposed amendment provides
for the classification Of property for
purposes of taxation, eliminating the
feature of the present system by
which the levy on all property shall
be uniform.

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and
North and South Carolina, routing by
way of the Panama canal to Atlantic
ports and inland by rail.
"This association has secured ofli.
