Jesus, the Messiah, will come the second time. During the closing days of his earthly ministry, the Savior gathered his disciples about him and spoke to them words of comfort that they might not be discouraged after he was taken from among them. He said: If 1 so, l will come again and receive you unto myself, that where am, there ye may be also" John IA: 1-3.) He spent B years on the earth as a man among men, finished his work and ascended to heaven. Since he has gone to heaven, we have au- thority from his word that he will re- turn again This is called his second coming, in Hebrews 9:2S. We have not only the statement of the Savior himself while on earth, but also evil dence that the prophets of old looked forward to this event (Judge 14), and that Jesus will come in a personal way: So said Evangelist D. c. Boger in an impressive discourse at the Gospel tent Last night on the second coming of Christ.
 He asked, in continuing: How will he come? Is it at death? Is it at conversion? What do the Scriptures teach on this point? In the last inter- view with the disciples on the Mount while conversing with them, he was taken from their midst and a cloud received him out of their sight While they stood gazing heavenward, two mer, (augels) in white apparel stood by them, which said: 'Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye hear gazing into heaven? This same Jesus which is taken from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven (Acts 1:9-11.)
 God revealed this scene of his Sons coming to the propeht John, as record ed in Revelation IT: Behold, he con- eth with clouds; and every eye shall see him From this it is clear that it IS no secret thing, but takes place openly, publicly, and will be seen by men and women throughout the world The savior himself, in speaking of this event, said: As the lightning cometh out of the east and shineth even unto the vest so shall the coming of the Son of Man be- We can see plainly, l" said MT. Boger, that if any say Christ is in the secret place, or has come to any particular locality we may know from his own words that it is not true
 Now in regard to the cloud. It said Behold he cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him These clouds are not mere vapory clouds as seen in the sky, but clouds of angels. For Jesus said that at that time he would come in his own glory. and in his Fath- CTS glory, and in the glory of all the holy angels Ouke 9:26.) In the Book of Revelation an intimation is given as to the number of the angels And the number of them is ten thou sand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands And that means a1 least a hundred million, or an innurner able company. From Rev. Fl. it i. evident every angel leaves the courts O. glory to accompany the Savior to earth for it says that silence reigns in heaver about the space of half an hour. Now the Scriptures teach that the angel, never remain silent in heaven, ant hence it is plain that this cloud ac companying the Savior on his return to earth is indeed composed of myriad of holy angels. This will be a seem unparalleled in the pageant of tn, kings of this world. The triumphs O earthly kings, their magnificence an, grandeur pale into insignificance be fore this scene of heavenly glory. Paul in bis letter to titus, the second chap ter, thirteenth verse, calls it the glori ouS appearing, the blessed hope, and Is the Christians hope, the grand con summation of the hopes and desire of all the nations"
 "The splendor of a single angel described in Matthew 2S: 1-4. It wa so great that 1t caused the earth t
