THE JUDGEMENT DAY


in Righteousness by that man
whom he hath ordained; whert-
Cf he hath given assurance unto all
men, in that he hath raised him
from the dead" Acts 1881.
Since 1878 4. d. everything has
been getting ready for the great
Judgment Day long spoken of by the
Bible. At the time ST. Paul wrote
tie words of the above text the
judgment Day was future because he
said SO. The preachers in timts past
taught TIE people that the Judgment
Day would be a time of terror upon
the earth, in which the people would
be lined up in a twenty four hour
day and most of them sent off to
Hcll-fire and birthstone, there to en-
dure i'm some uncomfortable way
lorlures eternal i'm duration. St
Paul seems TO give SO such thought
in his words. Hc looked forward 10
the Judgment Day as a time of great
rejoicing and blessing. because he
sa d thai it shall be a judgment
riqhieomeSs by Christ. When once
the purpose of the judgment Day is
under stood it makes glad the heart
and comfort those who mourn.
The term Judgment signifies that
the person to be iulged must have
a trial, and at that trial must have
q full and fair opportunity, if he is
