Spartanburg, January 27: The sec
ond coming Of Christ was the theme
Of perhaps the most striking sermon
Mr.. Sunday has preached during his
meeting here. Tonight the tabernacle
was again filled with even q greater
crowd than last night, with the largest
visiting delegation coming from I'm
ion. The students of the city high
schools came together and filled an
other section of the building, while
Easley, S. c., was again represented.
The response to his Invitation brought
another throng to grasp his hand, with
the high schools responding almost in
a body. Mr.. Sunday said Jesus fore
told his going, and he went, and he has
foretold his coming ard he will most
certainly come again, and in literal,
physical body. He says it is not what
the people think, but what the Lord
said. He says no one knows the hour
of his coming, and those who make
predictions as to the end of the world
know nothing whatever about 1t. 1t
will come when the body Of believers
has been completed, when the gospel
has been preached to all nations. but
when that will be accomplished no
man knows. The believers, he said,
constitute the army of the Lord, hold
irg the forces of the devil in check in
this world. Some day, he said, the
world will wake up to find that all the
good people have been taken out of it,
and then will come the time of tribu-
