''The Seventh Day Adventists pro-
fess to be teaching definite message
concerning the coming of Christ s ever
lasting kingdom said Pastor A. G..
Daniels in his sermon last night before
very large audience. The speaker has
spent many years in the mission fields
and. for the last Is years has held the
highest position in the denomination.
being president of the world s general
conference of Seventh Day Adventists.
In this capacity he has travelled extern
sively over every continent in the
world. He said in part that the most
important sign concerning the coming
of Christ would be that the gospel of
His kingdom would be preached in all
the world for witness unto all ma
tions.
He related many striking incidents
concerning the work of the Seventh
Day Adventist missionaries who are
now operating, in more lands than any
other denomination in the world, ac
cording to the United States bureau of
religious statistics. The Seventh Day
Adventists give over $50 per capita
each year for missions. Last year near
ly 100000 was spent by the denomi-
nation and plans are being carried out
this year to spend much more. In
some lands they were the first Chris
tian missionaries.
Said the speaker, God IS last day
world wide message eliminates in the
second coming of Christ. st. John saw
this message extend until it penetrat-
ed every nation. He saw it gathering
tongue and people, great company
keep the commandments of God, and
the faith of Jesus Then he beheld ga
white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat
like unto the Son of man, having on
His head golden crown, and in His
hand a sharp sickle. - Rev. 14:6, II, IA.
Let us emphasize, he said, the
thought that this is the return of
Christ in fulflment of His own prom
Use to come again, and the promise of
the angels that He will so come in like
manner as He went away. Now, how
ever, He comes, not as the humble Car
penter of Nazareth, but as a King. He
has closed His work as priest, and has
received from His Father kingdom
The prophet Daniel says:
81 saw in the night visions, and, be-
hold, one like the son of man came with
the clouds of heaven, and came to the
ancient of days, and they brought Him
near before Him. And there was given
Him dominion, and glory, and a king
dom, that all people, nations, and
languages, should serve Him; His do
minion is an everlasting dominion
which shall not pass away, and His
kingdom that which shall not be de
stroyed. = Daniel 7:13, a.
The gift of this kingdom to Christ is
in fulflment of the promise recorded
| by Luke: - He shall be great, and shall
be called the Son of the Highest; ant
the Lord God shall give unto Him thu
throne of His father David; and HI
shall reign over the house of Jacob for
ever; anu of His kingdom there shall
be no end Luke 1928.
St. John, to whom this great even
