Of Times has been inaugurated. The
Gospel Of Jesus Christ 10 again
preached upon earth, and the Holy

The student Of history recognizes
distinct epochs, periods and ages
IN the chronicle Of events. and clas-
sides his subject-matter according
ly. Single facts and isolated oc-
currences may be of immediate i'm
portance; but when studied in rela-
stton to one another they take on a
vastly augmented significance.
This is equally true with respect
to both secular and sacred history.
In the latter field, which comprises
the record of Gods direct dealings
with man and the unfolding of the
Divine purpose as attested by
prophecy and its fulflment, the ex-
tstence Of progressive plan and or
derly design is strikingly apparent.

fty and commission revealed to man.
