ON THE SECOND
COMM c OF CHRIST"


Quoting revival services at South Ard.
more Baptist church, preached last
night on 'Srhe Second Coming OF
Christ" from the text, so Christ
was once offered to bear the gins Of
many; and unto them that look for
Him shall lie appear the second time
without sin unto salvation" Hebrews
e.2S.
Tho speaker said that he was not
going to preach theory on the post
or pre-millennium but was going to
preach on the Second Coming Of
Christ" He said in part
There's one thing sure, and that
Is that Jesus Christ is going to come
to receive His own. I know that a
great many people donbt the second
coming Of Christ and this was so in
the days OF the apostles Peter met
this unbelief and said Where Is the
promise Of His coming, for since the
father fell asleep, all things continue
AS they were from the foundation of
world. For this they willingly are
ignorant of that by the word of God
the heavens were of old, and earth
standing out of the water and in the
water: whereby the world that then
was, being overfowed with water
perished But the day OF the Lord
viii come as thief in the night, in
which the heavens will pass away
with a great noise, and the element
will melt with fervent heat the earth
also and the works therein shall be
burned up. Seeing then that all these
things shall be dissolved, what man
ner Of persons ought we to be in all
holy conversation and godliness?
'rhe manner OF His coming-"And
while looking steadfastly toward heav-
IN as He went up, and behold two
men stood by them in white apparel
which also said. 'Ye men of Galilee,
why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
This same Jesus, which is taken up
from you into heaven shall So come
in like manner as ye have seen Him

"The second advent OF our Lord
viii be as real as the first. Every
child knows a great deal about the
habe of Bethlehem. When he was
born the angels came from heaven,
announcing TO the humble shepherds
on the Judean hills that Savior
was born. To the wise men the star
announced the great truth that Jesus
Cf Nazareth was born. So they came
with their gifts Of gold, and frank.
incense, and myrrh and worshiped
the babe of Bethlehem.
. H.
ing because Jesus was going away
He ccnsoled them with this fact
And If / go and prepare a place
for you | will come again, and re-
ceive you unto myself; that where ]
am there ye may be also.'
Paul in speaking to the brethren
at Philippi said. For conversation is
in heaven; from whence we look for
the Savior. the Lord Jesus Christ
who shall change our vile body, that
it may be fashioned unto his glorious
body
His coming will be visible-'Be
hold He cometh with clouds; anC
every eye shall see him and they
also that pierced Him: and all kin
dred Cf the earth shall wall because
OF Him When the Lord Jesus Christ
comes in His clouds OF glory and al
Uf His holy angels with Him it will
be the crowning day for the blood
washed saint, but the man that has
rejected Jesus Christ and spurned His
offered mercy will cry for the rocks
and mountains to fan on him and
hide him from the face of the lamb
God does not want his people TO be
ignorant about His coming-'But
would not have you to be ignorant
concerning them which are asleep
that ye sorrow not, even as Others
which have no hO.e, for If we believe
Jesus died and rose again, even SC

God bring with him. Wherefore com

Tho Lords coming will be sudden
As the Lightning shineth out of the
dast md snincth into the west sc
shall also the coming Of the Son OF
Man be. Therefore we should live
sober and righteous lives. Chris,
said, Take heed to yourselves that
lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, ant
drunkenness and the cares of this
life, and so that day come upon you
unawares, for as snare shall II
come on all them that dwell on the
face ot the whole earth. Watch ye
therefore, and pray always. that ye
may be counted worthy to escape all
these things that shall come to pass
and stand before the Son Of Man.
What will we be doing when the
Lord oomes?'-Here the evangelist
drew a graphic picture of the father
and son in the field, the father Chris
