Another word is used In Titus 2 10:
"Looking for that blessed hope and
the appearing of the glory of our great
God and Savior, Jesus Christ" This
word, like the word watch" expresses
our earnest expectation of an event
which may occur at any time. It Is
a favorite position with popular theo-
logians today that Christ will never
return to this earth. But even some
who expect his return and expect 1t

which seems to be made clear by the

their dead friends, lest they should

Paul bids them in the fourth chapter
of his first epistle, not to sorrow, for
the Lord will bring their friends with
him. He explains that the Lord shall
descend from HEAVIER and, the very
first thing, will raise the sleeping
saints; then he will catch them UP in

pr. Henry A. Stonson Talks on the
 War and What It Means to Us.

There was a large attendance at the lecture given by Dr. Henry A. Ston- son of the Manhattan Congregational church Sunday evening in the Broad way Congregational church Dr. Stonsons lecture was instructive and interesting being greatly appreciated by the congregation.
 Dr. Stonson took for his topic the present war and what it means to us, The speaker gave a brief outline of the German Empire from its earliest date until the present time showing that the principal aim of the country was conquest and that without any prOvocation it would make war on a small and defenselesS country in order to gain her ends.
 He spoke of the alliance between the Central powers of Europe saying that in their agreement they stated that they would put an end to democ- racy in the world and establish the Divine Right of Kings. With many illustrations he showed how Germany had interferred in internal affairs of all countries, how she had meddled in affairs of the United States, during the Spanish -American war ana. at oth- CT times. He spoke of the spy sys- tenn of Germany and how as far back as 1900 she had established her sys- tenn right here in our country.
 In closing he said that the whole world looked to the United States to preserve the democracy of the world and put down the rule of autocracy forever
 The congregation rose and sang America in closing.
