For all these of their abundance cast in unto the

"And some spake Of the temple, how it adorned
with goodly stones and gifts, He said,
GAS for these things which behold the days will come
in the which there shall not be left stone upon another
that shall not be thrown down."-Luke Fl 1-6
This is the first part of the prophecy and needs
only to turn to history in order determine whether not
His words literally fulfilled.
THE DISCIPLES QUESTIONS, AND THE ANSWER OF JESUS
Now in the seventh verse-the question which the dis
cipes asked Him.
"And they asked Him, saying Master but when shall
things shall come to pass?'
In the account given in the twentyfourth chapter OF
Matthew you will find three distinct questions First
"TEIL US, WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE?'-That is,
When shall there not be left here of all these buildings
stone upon another?" That is the first question Now,
the next question is
"AND SHALL SIGN OF THY COMING?"-
or 'of Thy presence?" And the third question
"AND OF THE END OF THE ?"-or "the end of the
age?" Those three distinct questions, given in
Matthew.
Now here is His answer
"Take heed Chat is your guard) that We be not
deceived"
He clearly foresaw the dangers which would beset those
who wanted to be observation-disclosures which would beset
them upon every hand therefore He told them to be
their guard That is the first thngbe your guard that
We be not deceived
"For many shall in My name saying, I am
Christ
That is false Christs will appear-persons will appear
saying that they the Christ Every welnformed per-

uttered and the last twenty-five years have
large number of persons all of them but of
them being womenfor instance since Mrs Eddys death
short time ago, Mrs Setson, of New York City, has
out with statement that Mrs Eddy is going to be
esurreced and that she Christ and doubt there
others who believe in such false doctrine That proph
ecy has been fulfilled to great extent think, we
could expect
"And He sad Take heed that We be not deceived for
many shall come in My name saying, am Christi and the
time draweth near go ye therefore not after them"
Luke Ills.
How it is that any person could even for a moment,
consider such blasphemous claim is a mystery to me-
Take, for instance that man in Brighton, near London
Mr. SmithPggott, who claimed to be the Christ and he
had followers The fact in the matter that there are 50
many people in this world and many peculiar people,
that doesn't make much difference how arbraned
the advocate how foolish the things that taught
there will always be some ready to accept them.
BIBLE MUST BE CAREFULLY STUDIED AND TEACHING
FOLLOWED
You will remember when stood this platform that
first Wednesday evenngabout the middle of February
19O6that warned you against certain things and struck
the keynote: Sck to the Bibe! If you will follow the
Word of God, you will go astray!'
Now there are some deceitful made of the Bible,
and ofenmes people attempt to bolster up certain things
by misconstrung and misquong the plain Word of God
In other words they wrest the Scriptures to their de-
strucon" You will notice that nearly all of these false
religions have Bibles of their own; the Christian Scientists
have bible of their and you will also observe that
these false doctrines denyahough it is not apparent to
the casual reader the superficial heareryet is ap
parent that they deny all of the fundamental principles OF
the Bible. Now when says that Christian Science
SMILE but that is their ignorance. When | say that it
DOES deny every truth of the Gospel, know what am
talking about and not beating the air say that, as
false religion it denies every fundamental truth OF the
Gospel of KINGDOM GOD, and person is able to
refue my position but there people who are just
like the little birds that swallow the when the mother
bird gives them they swallow anything and everything
without stopping examine it, and they think it is some
thing wonderful and such thoughtess people will tell
