"The Second Coming of Christ and
What is Involved in Being Pre-
pared for His Coming"
(Reported by B. NJ


The meeting was opened by the singing of the Hymn
ntitled 'The Lord is Coming, upon which the General
verseer commented follows:
This Hymn is based upon Matthew 1856: "Behold the
bridegroom cometh go We out to meet Him. The very first
begins by declaring the fact of the second coming of
hrist
The Lord is coming by and by
Be ready when He comes;
He comes from His fair home on High
Be ready when He comes;
He is the Lord our Righteousness,
And comes His chosen ones to bless,
And at His Fathers throne confess:
Be ready when He comes!
Cho-Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes?
Will your lamps be trimmed and bright,
Be it morning, noon night?
Will you be ready when the Bridegroom comes?
He will come to earth again:
Be ready when He comes!
Begin His universal reign
Be ready when He comes!
With Hallelujahs heaven will ring,
When Jesus does redemption bring;
O trim your lamps to meet your King
Be ready when He cones
Behold! He comes to one and all:
Be ready when He connes
He quickly comes with trumpet call:
Be ready when He cornes
To judgment called at His command,
Drawn thther by His mighty hand,
Before His throne all must stand;
Be ready when He comes.

How HABITS ARE FORMED

People allow too many little things to interfere with

probably help somebody here this afternoon When the
time comes to go to service person say "We do
not feel like going today and he will stay at home and
then when the next time the service is the
easiest thing the world for that stay at home again
Going to church is maitland habit that not many peo-
pie have nowadays There used to be a time when man
who did attend church Lords day looked upon
as heather Nowadays the habit of NOT going to church
is so widespread that those who do not exception
and the number is very small Even right here in ZION
CITY there many people who will guarantee have not
attended church during the last twelve months and
that is why pleading for aggressveness and
shouting you to look to Jesus the Christ and work.
let us go after these people ZION CITY, and they will not
repent and take their stand for God and ZoN then let
have such an holy atmosphere here that they will not want
to live in it.
There are people who used to to church but who
do not go now because when they vent brother did
not shake hands with them somebody did not notice them
Now do not go to Church to worship any but go
worship God There are people who to church only
twice year-at Easter and at Christmas there other
people who to church except when they get
suit of clothes DRESS and then they for
two Sundays only WE'LL want ZION people to attend the
services from principle and have always followed this
practice used to church the country through the
rain and in all other kinds of weather. and at all times
attended baptisma service when the mercury

in order to bapze the people, and their clothes frozen

LET THE LIGHT SHINE, GIVE lions SALVATION

The is true of the Seventy work. it costs little
effort and little selfdenial and hardship; it
little climbing up the stairs; but it is all right and am
very thankful to God for the response that have had and
after this sermon this afternoon would just like to see
many others take their stand and say We God helping
me- going to do what in working for Him the
rest of my life You may be seventy years old, but
going retire just because you seventy years age?
No! Go and do something in the Masters Vineyard Let
your light shine! Give the ZION salutaton-"Peace to
thee and Peace to thee be multiplied Shoot it straight
at them. When I somebody coming who know for
sure, is going to say Good morning. then begin prac-
ticing before get up to hn-Peace to thee Peace to
thee be multiplied" want this people to the saluta-
ton and to observe the nine o'clock hour of prayer Let
light shne that is the proper thing to do You
gain anything by hiding your light under bushe If you
hide your light under bushe then they will say that you
no good-they will say "My he is great ZION man,
isn't he; he is ashamed of his religion" You gain
anything by hiding light by yielding. Some Of the
most wicked in the world will have great admiration for
who will live his religion; must be aggressive and
go forward.
Be NOT WEARY IN WELLDoING
ZION CITY built for ZION and for people, and
expect to make ZION CITY out of it, Let keep working
away and growing weary in this great work; and
behind all there be hearts filled with Christian love-
Let your light shne quit thinking about employment and
making money! but seek first KINGDOM COD and His
righteousness The trouble with many people is that they

Pray for me; have pretty hard job-but intend
to stick to it, by the grace of God and shall not
compromise with anybody in any way, shape form.
