The Second Coming of Jesus
Christ" was the subject taken by Rev.
Jones last evening. and the sermon
proved to be one of the strongest vet
delivered by the evangelist Several
verses were read out OF the ninth
chapter OF Hebrews. The three funda,

has appeared. Christ doth appear. and
Christ shall appear. The devil hates
these things. The devil tried to blind
the eyes OF the people who wanted TO
see Jesus. The devil said il is a lie.

Jesus Christ.
There is a band OF people in this
country who call themselves Christian
Scientists. Their teachings do away
with Christ Their teaching does
away with the atonement We say.
Do they heal some people? Yes. they

The devil tried several years ago
to organize band of people. and
they said that Jesus was coming. The
