Washington, D. C. Upwards of forty

encampment. All the other principal
cities and towns of the state are well
represented. Hundreds of other dele.

calm that came with the setting of the
sun.

meeting he has visited since that time.
His pleasing appearance and agreeable
delivery make all who hear respect

IIe said in part: IT am here tonight
to tell you that the. same mighty God
is working in 1917 that worked in times
of old. In Rev. 1867, we have very
definite prophecy foretold. And l saw
another angel fly in the midst Of hea-

loud voice, fear God, and give glory to
him; for the hour Of his judgment is
come; and worship him that made
heaven and earth, and the sea, and the
fountains of water
There is no other message like this
one in all the bible. 1t is reinforced by
many other prophecies in Gods word
concerning when it is to be fulfilled
He referred especially to the ending OF
the twenty-three hundred year pro-
phecy of Dan. STA, which fixes the
time of the beginning of this message
in the year 1914. The message now
goes to every spot where men tread.
This and the other two messages re-
corded in Rev. IA, bring us to the end
of the world and the coming Of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is
the most important event to take place
on our planet. When he comes, he will
bring sin and death to an end. He will
cause wars to cease.
1.-The point I wish to emphasize is
the proclamation, DR.. Daniels con-

believe from~the depth of my heart,
this message Is being fulfilled today.

movement I had to stop and thank

this"
| DR.. Daniels read a statement from
4Dr. Arthur T. Pierson, the great pro-
moter Of foreign missions, showing
| how that one hundred years ago the
gates were closed to the christian mis-
sicnary in nearly every country, and
that IN the middle of the nineteenth
century great opening took place. This
| is the same time that this great mes
sage was to begin going to- the world
The gates flew open and the walls fell
fiat. God raised up a people, and sent
them forth with the message.
"God foretells things and brings t,
pass all that He foretells. He will SCI
that they come to pass If He has t,
overthrow everything else on earth
What God says must be done. There cal
be no failures" He referred to the full
fillment Of the promise to Abraham
Gen. Is, in which Abraham was prom
ised that his seed Should be stranger
in the land of Egypt and later shoul,
Il be brought out again. He mentioned tn
providential working of God in fulfill
ing this promise as to how they "er
brought into this land thru Joseph, an,

into straitened places and then work
ed it out providentially that they
might see his glory. Cod led them acros
