address of the evening on 'The Last
Generation" Mr.. Froom said:
1.-The time is drawing naar. 1t

Jesus is coming again. This
blessed truth is proclaimed $50
times in the New Testament alone,
enc verse In each twenty-five having
reference to 1t. Twelve distinct lines
of prophecy proclaim it. Each be-

unerring accuracy the events of the
passing years. Every mile-post has
been passed. There is but one future
event now unfulfilled In each. All
are waiting for this last act In Gods
great plan of the ages-the return
Of Jesus and the end of the world,

1T is always the same generation
who hears the warning, that sees the
fulfillment. Thus it was in the
days of Noah, of Lot, of John the
