TIME OF DELIVERANCE
Millions Now Living Will Never Die

The International Bible Students
speakers give special attention to the
OF the Scriptures which
have been recently fulfilled or which
are in the process of fulillment. AT
the Court House Thursday at p.
m the speaker, Mr. 0 L Sullivan. OF
Brooklyn, N Y, called the attention
of his hearers to the wording OF the
following text:
Upon the earth distress Of nations,
with pcrple kitty; the sea and the waves
roaring mens hearts fai ing them for
fear. and for looking after those
things which are coming on the earth:
for the powers OF heaven shall be
shaken. And then shall they see the
Son of man coming in cloud with
power aud great glory. And when
these things begin to come to pass,
thln look up, and lift up Your heads;
for Your redemption Greek, deliver

Ard he spakc to them parable;
Behold the fig tree, and all the trees
when they now shoot FORTH we see and
know Of your own selves that sum-
rer is now nigh at hand. SO likewise
We, when We see these things come
to pass, know We that the kingdom OF
God is nigh at hand. Verify | say I'M
to you, This generation shall not pass
away till all be fulfilled. Heaven and
earth shall pass away but my words
shall not pass away. Luke 2l:25-35'

speaker, that these words were in

now, as never before, there is indeed
distress and perplexity among states
men and men of affairs, as they face
the rising tide of popular discomfort
and wonder what is TO be the outcome
upon society.

Nov. as never before mems hearts

because there is not much good in the
world. There is. But thc + hearts are
failing them because they see, and

grave danger that the good we do
have will be thrown down by a great
symbolical earthquake 4 rcvulslon
from beneath in which everything will
be lost.
"The powers of heaven which are
being shaken refer not to the abode
of the heavenly Father, but to what
we may designate as Satan's heavens
the control slipping from his grasp,
and these heavens themselves passing
away as the new and better order OF
things comes in. Who can not see
these heavens now on fre-in diSmay
and confusion as their detormitles
come into view?
'It is noteworthy that mems hearts
are failing more from fear than, from
actual suffering. and more from appre
tensions of things they see coming
than from things experienced. And
the scripture cited discloses that just
at this juncture men will discern what
it all means; namely, that the Lord
has returned and is supervising the
work of pulling down the. old and
building up the new. Though He is
present in clouds (troubles) now, the
power and great glory will be revealed
shortly. And some can see the mean-
ing of these things even now. The
only way in which anybody will see
it will be with the eyes of under
standing. Those who are expecting
visions with their literal eyes will sure
ly be disappointed; for there will not
be such.

tree The mention of sprouting of the
fig tree was not casual remark; but
it carries our minds back to the pecu-
liar circumstances of our Lords curse,
upon a fig tree which bore no fruit,
and which withered away directly.
This fig tree signifies the Jewish ma
ton.
"This sign is being signally fulfilled.
The Jews are returning to. Palestine at
the rate of two thousand month.
They have never immigrated into any
land at the rate at which they are i'm
migrating into Palestine. A great
Hebrew University opened on April
first with appropriate ceremonies, now
graces the slopes of Mount Scopus,
and has in its faculty so great a man
as Professor Einsteain, of Relatively
fame, admittedly one of the greatest
scientists of the century.
"On March 18th the new American
Palestine line sent its first boat out
of New York harbor directly to Pales-
tine. 1t sailed under the Jewish flag,
the first time that flag was ever used
for such a purpose. An hour and a
half before the vessel sailed, every
