St-con«l—Ho will come suddenly upon t h«* world as a thief in the night; as the Ihditning and as the Rood upon tho an tediluvians, who, though warned, went ,, n eating and drinking and marrying ami giving in marriage, and knew not until the Rood came and took them away. “Even so shall it ho in the com ing of the son of man.” Third—He will come in power and .neat glory, aud not in humiliation and weakness as at first. In the second place was presented tho older of events that shall take place from the Lord’s coming to the time when the kingdom shall he delivered up to the Father. When our Lord comes he will poise himself in tho mid-heavens. Pleat—The first resurrection, or the resurrection of the righteous only will tirst of all he accomplished. This is called “the resurrection of the dead in Christ, the resurrection of life, the res urrection of tho just and tho resurrec tion from among the dead.” Second—The righteous living upon the earth at the coming of the Lord will then ho changed. Their natural bodies will draw on transfiguration robes. Paul says: “Wo shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.” Third—Both these companies, all the righteous will next he caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Fourth—Then will follow the flood of lire which will sweep the earth and de stroy all the wicked just as the water tlomi destroyed tho wickfed in the days of Noah. This explains why the righte ous were lifted out of earth as in tho lust event and met tho Lord in tho air. Not a hair of their head nor a thread {of their garments shall be harmed by the avenging fires. Fifth—Satan will be hound, the de struction of the wicked effectually ac complishing the biuding of satan. Earth renovated by tiro and rid of all the hosts of iniquity, will next bo occupied by the Lord Jesus anil all the saved, and a glorious millenium of one thousand years of peace and unbroken joy will follow. At the opening of this period there will he a judgment of rewards, in which the good deeds of the righteous "ill be taken account of, in order to grade their rewards. First—The second resurrection of all the wicked. “The rest of the dead live not again until the thousand years are finished.” Second—.Satan is loosed for a little season—the resurrection of the wicked ettectually unbinding Satan. Third—Tho great Last battle. The "icknl Rocking about the dark banner of rebellion unfurled by Satan. Tho Emd Himself will accomplish the victory alone. Fourth—Then will take place the hnal judgment—the judgment of damna- Don in which tho wicked alone shall jAaml. The saints shall participate with Lord in pronouncing damnation. “'IVc saints shall judge the “»ld and judge the Angels.” Fifth—Then will cotn% the last record* «l chapter in the book ot time, when the mediatorial kingdom slui t, 0 ( | c . • d up to the Father and Itcdouner, the redeemed shall enter the corns* the Paul ofgh, . As indicating Dr. Carswell’s interest in f * subject and his sense of its import- anco * he referred to an expression of Alexander II. Stephens about the second >v.iv of the lute war. When asked what "» re the chances for the south, ho re- plicd: “it makes my heart sick to see "hat is coming upon the people of my eoiintry, and they seem to ho so ignorant ‘ 1 *D And so tho preacher feels w hen : '* thinks how near wo may bo to the - 1,,; ‘t final catastrophe of this dis- t'eiis.uion and the great bulk of “•unanity so ignorant of and careless about it. I" prove that our Lord’s coming is "•itaiidy rapid'y nearing, three lines of •‘igunient were resorted to. ‘t't — A symbolic view of the prophe- ' j'*' presented upon tho black-board, “ ’"Dig that out of twenty-one leading I' 1 '»phecies already certainly nineteen, ‘jid with but little doubt tho twentieth 'have been completely fulfilled— nineteenth referring to the wrench- ,n * «*f temporal power from the Pope, * IU wa *accomplished in 1870, and the turko-Kussian war, by which the power the I urks was broken from the land 1 • acob, and by which Palestine and • i usaletn were opened to the occupancy the Jews was the fulfillment of tho "entieth prophecy; so that the twenty- lr * tand Last prophecy—tho vial of wrath poured out into the air-is already be- “Nevertheless, when the son of man comoth, shall he find faith on the earth.” Much profession, but little possession of that genuine faith that links the soul to Christ. Third—The movement of the Jews. The blindness of the Jews in rejecting Christ was to last until tho gentiles should have their full opportunity for salvation. The gentiles opportunity was to last until Jerusalem should be no longer “trodden down of the genti les” but once again occupied by the Jews. Roth these have come to pass. Fifty thousand Jews already occupy Je rusalem and many thousand in south ern Russia and elsewhere have proclaim ed their belief in Jesus of Nazareth. Un doubtedly even now the gospel is turn ing back from the gentiles to tho Jews. Fourth—In keeping with the fulfilled prophecies and apparent signs this nu merical prophecy points to tho early coming of our Lord. In 535 B. C. this prophecy was given. Ninety years af ter, or 445 B. C. the first event camo to pass, viz: The command to rebuild the temple. A. D. 39, or 483 years after tho order to rebuild the temple, tho second event occurred, viz: The death of Jesus. In 1850, or 2300 years after the or der to rebuild, the third event trans pired, viz: The signing of tho Crimean treaty of peace, w hich gave religious liberty to the Jews and Christians of Palestine, and now if we are as accurate in the application of this calculation to the fouth event as to tho former three, we must fix upon A. D. 1901, April 11th, for the fourth event, viz: Tho end of this ago and the beginning of the mil- lenial age, and if this date is correct, then 2345 days before the end, viz: No vember 8, 1894, wo may expect a second command to rcstoie tho temple at Jeru salem, and if this is done, 09 weeks later, or 483 days, viz: March 7, 1890, ou Lord may bo expected to come as bridegroom to receive his bride. I wish to bo understood; l do not say that those events last mentioned will certainly fall on these dates, respective ly, but I do say two things. First—That inasmuch as three out of four events suspended on tho calcula tion have come to pass on the precise day oven, it would seem tho part of w is dom to accept nothing else than the remaining event should likewise fall on its day according to the calculation. Second—If it does, then what we have said about special events on the special days named above will hold true. We do not predict; we simply interpret the predictions of holy writ, and to say tho least, these figures along tho prophecies and tho signs exhort us to be in read iness. Columbus, Ga..

Atlanta, May 20.—£S|>ecial.]—Steve Ryan has failed. His liabilities will go over three-quarters of a million and will probably reach one million dollars. Ilia resources cannot bo estimated at pres ent. They consist of his stock, books and accounts. '1 ills is ono of tlie largest failures ever known in tiio south, and lias caused the greatest excitement in business and commercial circles. A lew years ago Mr. John Ryan went out of tiio dry goods business. From a small beginning ho had built up a largo dry goods establishment at 01 Whitehall streot. He had become wealthy, a largo real cstato owner, and a man held in high esteem by the entiro community. Mr. Ryan sold his businoss to his two oldest sons, Stephen A. and John F. Ryan, and the businoss continued under the stylo of John Ryan’s Sons. Somo timo ago Mr. John F. Ryan sold Ids interest in tlie business to his brother Stephen. Up to that timo the business of tiio linn had boon vastly increased and en larged. Already it hail made quite a stir in drygoods circles by selling goods at astonishingly low prices. When Mr. Ryan became tiio sole proprietor, how- over, tlie volumo of tho business done by tiio house bccamo enormous. Goods woro sold at such very low figures that it was said that the business of the elty in that class of merchandise was being greatly injured thereby. But the bar gain sales continued. Goods were still being sold below cost Finally people began to say, “That can’t last long.” To-day the blow came. It camo with the foreclosure of a mort gage given in favor of II. B.

When tiio sheriff closed up tho big dry goods establishment at 11 o'clock this morning there woro some exciting scenes. » Tlie hundreds of clerks woro dumb founded and wure loth to bellevo the nows. It took tiio shorin' somo timo to get tlie storo, which was packed with cus tomers, cleared of tiio crowd. It was somo time beforo all tho clerks could bo made to stop selling goods. “Not another bundle must leave this storo,” yelled [tho sheriff, as ho walked about from counter to counter. Ono old lady pioked up a pair of shoes and started for tho door, saying: “I've paid for these shoos and I'll just take ’em homo.” An old man had just given a clerk $7.50 for a suit of clothes, and ho carried them oil on ids arm. Finally the great storo was cloared of tlie mass of customers, the clerks put on their huts and coats and quietly took their departure. The doors woro closed and locked and the sheritf put ihe keys in his pockets. Steve Ryan's great establishment was no moro. Before leaving all of tho clerks re ceived what was duo them from the Arm for wages, and left to seek other posi tions. Messrs.
