MONDAY AFTERNOON
AT GOSPEL TENT
Thousands Hear DR.. Slough on
Second Coming Of Christ
Partial Outline.

8 There has never been quite so
great a tribute paid the public ser
ice Of visitor to Brookhaven as
that laid at the feet of DR.. II. w.
Slough at the tabernacle Monday af-
ternoon. Even the genial, gentle and
gratifed evangelist was surprised.
The stores all closed by the sim
pie request OF Mayor Elect Smylie
and the great crowd that gathered
under the tent tested the seating ca
pacity of all available space. The
rain. for the first time during the
thirty. days, interfered especially as
the tent leaked badly greatly dis
turbing. the audience. many OF whom
however. remained as patiently as
did the speaker. He finished
discussion, intermittent with the
weather, Of the world-chaos in
which we find ourselves and Christ's
second coming, at about six o'clock.
The hour Of beginning was 1850.
1t was difficult for the observer to
decide which was the stronger
the peoples desire to hear or the
speakers yearning desire to impaft
to them his serious yet fascinating
message Of truth and prophecy foun-
ded on Gods Word.
DR.. Slough briefly reviewed the
FIVE ages preceding the sixth, the
AgR Of Grace in which we are liv-
ing today. He referred to Nebuchad-
nezzar's dream and its interpreta-
tion; to the displacing Of monar-
chies by the World War. Democracy
cannot rule he said. because the peo-
pie are neither educated nor relig-
ious. For lack Of both the world is
like an unstable sea.
The Sixth Age is not final. It will
end as all others in judgments and.
usher in the Seventh Age.
Seventy-five per cent Of the Old
Testament prophecies are unfulfll-
ed with reference to Israel.
A people "for His Name will be
taken out Of the Gentiles. The a.
postate church. and the unconverted
will have no place. The church is a
selective companya "a peculiar peo-i
pie. When the Lord comes again
many who are alive will be caught
up with Him Il Thess. 4c) preceded
by those asleep in death.
All blessings that come, come
through the church. God deals not
with Jews or Gentiles but through
the church. The Jew is the out
standing, remarkable genius of the
age.
All is part of the program fore
seen by God. We are coming to the
time of great tribulation.
Here the speaker referred to the
capitalists and labor and the bank
rupt farmer; to the increased num-
Der of wars. You can't stop war
by starting one.
Out of the Worlds history we have
had 227 years of peace. 1867 years
of war and the rest have been spent
in preparation for war. The Lord
said There shall be wars and ru-
mors Of wars
From 1850 B. G. to 1860 d. C.
theer weer. negotiated 5000 treaties
for peace and each lasted a little
over tive years.
The League of Nations with Ger
many out, Russia. Turkey, Bull
garia out, Japan ready to hop out,
the League is against the rest of
the world.
Now it is the war Of white men
against the colored. The dominance
of the white man is ended. Read
The Rising Tide Of Color. AS sure
as the white man goes at the white
man again and destroys rs million
of his own color 'sle's gone". An
other world holocaust threatens
we are on the crater of a volcano
The Gentiles are slowly destroying
themselves.
There is now an aristocracy of
rich men. The hireling and the la
borer cry out against them. 95 per
cent of the wealth of the nation be-
longs to per cent of the popula-
ton" High wages has given the
laborer a porter-house appetite. He
sees unequal division. Be patient
for the coming of the Lord draweth
nigh.
Profiteers made myriad millions
during the war and have been revel-
ing ever since. (See James, 5cl.
