FAMOUS SERMON IS
 PREACHED SUNDAY
"MilliOnS Now Living Will Never ,'tA, Die" Heard Here

Tho following extract Ia taken from tho sermon. Millions Now Living will Never Die" which was preached at Electric hall yesterday by Lyle Crist of Buf-alo, New York:
 The regeneration or tho human race has been the hope of Christians for centuries. which hope is based upon Gods promises. To Abraham he said "In thy seed shall all the families of tho earth be blessed" (Genesis 12:3: 22:1S). This promised blessing is life everlasting. g.-Romans 6:23.
 The first six verses of Revelation 2l tell of q tiu.S coming when there will be no more death, and which time is stated to be during the reign of Christ. He (Chris) must reign till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be de- Etroycd Is death.' - Corinthians 15:25. 26.
 It is evident from tho foregoing Scriptufal proof that there must come n timo when the people will have m opportunity for life, peace and happi- ness. The question is. When? St. Peter answers this question. saying: Times of refreshing shall come from the presence Of the Lord: and he (God) shall send Jesus Christ. who before was preached unto you, whom the heaven must retain until the times of restoration of all things, which God hath spoken by tho mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Yea. and an tho prophets from Samuel and those that follow after. as many as have spoken, have likewise foretoid of these days" (Acts 3 3:1s-2l, 24). This statement conclusively proves that at the second coming Of Christ and during his reign the obed- lent ones of tho human race will be restored to exactly what Adam lost, viz, perfect manhood and a perfect home.
 The first important question, then, ls. What is meant by the end of the world and when does it occur? World means social and political order en- during for a certain time. The lease of gentle dominion began, according to Bible chronology and history. soc 6. C.. was to continue for 2,520 years. and necessarily ended in 1914. which marks the end of tho present order. at which time It's disintegration should Dc expected. Jesus stated that when hat time arrived there would be a world war. famine. pcstilencc, and revolutions in various rarts of the sarth. marking the beginning of the worlds ending. All these things have been fulnlled since 1914, and the fam no and revolutions arc still in prog resr.
 He further stated-and this is cor -oborated by many of the prophets hat tho return of tho Jews to Pales- ane would be m additional evidence Sf this great tiWc of tho worlds end. This fact Is al tn now accomplished.
 Ia 1nrinp fhg period Of tho end of the world there would be upon earth distress of na- ions. with perplexsty. mems hearts .nilinE them for fear of what they ,ee coming upon tho earth. This is low In progress.
 Another important dnte God has nade clear through the prophets when the children of Israel entered ho land of Palestine in tho year 1875 8. C., God required them 10 count tho imo from that dnto forward. and to seep every fiftieth year as a jubilee: md commanded that these Jubilees lhould be kept for seventy periods. which would ba equivalent to total If $500 years. St. Paul shows that hese things were types or shadows. rhe jubilee periods typifed tho thou and year reign of Christ. which would ,egin at tho timo of hia second pres ,nco and at tho end of tho world. turing which tho obodicnt of mankind must be restored. A period of $500 ears beginning in 1875 F. C. of ne- 'essity will end with 1925 A. D. It ia therefore confidently expected from ha Scriptures that 1925 will mark tho md of wars. famine. pcstilence. rev lutions. anarchy. and general dis urbanccs. and that tho restoration of nan will progress from that timo for yard.
