quake and the rocks to rend, and the Roman guards to fall to the earth as dead men. What then must be the glory of more than one hundred million of these shining beings, together with all the glory of the Son of God, and of the Father? Jesus the Saviour does not make this grand display merely to i'm press men with his grandeur or out ward show, but he comes for definite purpose. The Bible teaches that this purpose is to give reward to his ser wants, and to those who fear his name, small and great, and to punish the wicked This is the harvest of the world. (Matthew13 and Revelation 14) That is the time, When the Lord Him. self shall descend from heaven with the voice of the archangel and the trump of God, and the dead in Christ rise from the grave, and are caught up to- gether with the living righteous to meet the Lord in the air; and so snail we ever be with the Lord" Thus he comes in splendor to garner the wheat and burn the tares.

 wicked are consumed with the spirit Of his mouth and destroyed by the brightness of his coming.

He comes as the one altogether lovely, as the King of Kings.

To them that day is one of darkness and gloom, according to Zephaniah l: IA, a day when the rich man will throw his riches to the moles and bats, and when the mighty men will cry bitterly
 From these scriptures it is clearly seen that Jesus is coming in person to the earth, the second time, that ths inhabitants of earth will see. him as clearly as the sun at noon on a clear day, that he will come with all his angels to reward the righteous (Rev. 2z: l2) and punish the wicked. and tnat It will be a scene of rejoicing to the former, but of inexpressible horror and sadness to the latter.
 It VIII then be too late for anyone to make a change in his life. Character is the thing that is to stand the test al hls appearing. Now is the time fo ouio a character that will endure the
