I'HK SECOND COMING OF CHKIST
This world has witnessed many
wonderful incidents, all way from
the hour when God first spoke it into
existence by thie word of His power
up to the time of that memorable
Christmas night when the heavens
became aglow with the Glory of Gqd,
and the Choir had sung the song a-
bove the hills of Juda that Christ
had come to the world.
But the one under consideration is
the most wonderful of all succeeding
time, more wonderful in many re-
spects than his first advent, the most
wonderful fact to the human milid is
His second coming.
If the Bible speaks more emphati-
cally about one truth than another, it
is the second coming of Christ, and
yet there is no fact in all the system
of Christian doctrine that is more
neglected from the pulpit than this
one. This fact is stated in First Thes-
solonians and at the Fourth Chapter
and Hi and 17 verse. "For the Lord
Himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout with the voice of the
archangel and with the trump of God;
and the dead in Christ shall rise
first." Then we which are alive and
remuin shall be caught up togethei
with Him in the clouds to meet the
Lord in the air; and so shall we ever
be with the Lord.
Now out of this statement let's
take some practical deductions. What
will this coming mean to you and me''
(1) It will mean that we will b<' a
part of the body of Christ, and heirs
of all that it means and implies. This
is what God is doing now. He is tak-
ing out of every N'ation, of the Jews,
and Gentiles, a People for His name.
Christ v/ill not come until that mini
0
her is complete. Who knows hut the
next convert will complete the num-
ber and will bring His coming?
Hence the command to watch and be
ready.
(2) That is tin; time when the
Christian will get his reward. This i-
what Paul meant when he said,
"Hence forth there is a crown laid
up for mo and not for me only, hut
for all whom that love His appearing"
See Second Timothy 4-K. We are go
ing to he like Him, that's part of our
reward, We know Alien He shall ap-
pear we shall he like Him."
Changed, soul and body. The De-
vil's power will be broken and we
shall he free from all the hellishness
of character, Pride, Temper, Jealousy,
Hatred will be things of the p;.. t and
where He goes we will go, and where
He is, we will be forever. Does it
mean this to you?
(3) It means too that we will have
a great reunion and the giving back
of our long loved ones we have lost
for a while. Paul said to the Thessa-
lonians, don't sorrow about your lov
ed ones, if they are asleep in Jesu.
when He comes He will bring them
with Him for the dead in Christ will
arise first, then they that remain
will be caught up to meet Him in tin
air. 1 pity the man who stands by the
grave of a loved one and hears the
deep thud of the clods as they fall
into the grave, and yet he has no
hope of a resurrection.
(4) It means that some of us may
never have to die, Kvery true child
of God who is alive when lie (Mints
will be changed in a moment in the
twinkling of an eye, when the trump
shall sound, for the trump shall
sound and the dead shall rise and we
shall he changed. When ? I don't
know. Will it be while we live? I
hope so The Deeiples lived each day
with the thought in mind that He
today. Watch and be
ready is the Lord's injunction.
(5) Then what does His coming
mean to the unsaved? When He
comes and takes all who believe in
Him what will become of the unbe-
liever? They will be left, of course.
Left out. See Matthew 2-1 Chapter,
37 to 12. For ;is in the- days before
the flood they were eating and drill'
ing, marrying and giviiv it"
liage until the day that Noah enter
into the ark. And knew not until
the flood came and took them all a
way. So shall also the coming of tin
Son of i an be. Then shall two he In

the grave, left for the second res-
urrection. Left for the resurrection
of the unjust. Left for that time when
they shall take their part in the sec

Woman Get* Strong,

Mrs. L. N. Crawford, Jr.,
of Logansport, La., writes:
"I felt perfectly hopeless.
"Life wasn't worth liv-
ing, It seemed. I felt like
giving up but, you know,
a woman with a family
just can't do that. I was
weak, thin and nervous.
"I tried so many things
but didn't get better. Fin-
ally 1 asked my husband
to get me some Cardul.
After I had taken three
bottles, I was like a new
person.
"I gradually resumed my
work around the bouse and
went places. I quit suffer-
ing. Now I am strong. In
good weight, and feel fine."
Thousands of women
have been helped by Car-
dul, in a similar way, In
the last 45 years.

his profession at Granger. In 1910,

pointment has already been made bv

essary arrangements can be complet-
ed, he will come to Austin to assume
