CHRISTS SECOND COMING.
The following beautiful paper
on the second coming of Christ
was read before the Tarrytown
Sunday School by Miss Calhoun,
and at the request of the Sabbath
school and friends it is published:
The coming of our Lord is not
stated in a parable, nor in figure
of speech, but in plain language.
There can be no doubt of His
meaning. He is coming again
a real personal coming.
He is coming in glory and the
holy angels with Him. So differ
ent from His first going out from
His earthly life. His crucifixion
was not a very glorious thing
while it was going on. His little
band of followers scattered far
and wide. A few weeping wo
men and some frightened follow
ers of His wondering what it all
meant, did not bring in the cul
mination of the atoning work of
Jesus, His death on the cross
with a great blaze of glory. But
He is coming again. And what
a glorious coming it will be!
What a company of attendants!
The Lord represents himself
as coming to judge the world in
this capacity as the Son of man.
His body was to rise again, to be
clothed with divine honors, to sit
upon the throne at the right
hand of the Father and to come
back into this world, not as He
went away but bedecked in the
splendors of the eternal world.
That final trial is to cover all na
tions, the living and the dead i
alike. It is not to be a judgment |
of the few or many, but of all.
The Son of man will have bus
iness at that eventful day with
every one who has lived.
* The Lord taught us by the par
able of the wheat and tares that
things are mixed in this world,
but at the last great day all man
kind will be divided into two clas-|
ses. So there will be only two
characters manifested on that
day—the Christ character and the
non-Christ character.
So there will be only two des- 1
tinies—life eternal and eternal
punishment. The separation is
to be made publicly and is to re
main forever.
Every body is to be there.
Think not to escape. You must
be present. If there be one in J
your Sunday school class to whom
you have never made a personal
appeal for the acceptance of Je
sus, just remember that both
you and that scholar are to be
there; and the King will have a
word to say to both of you.
Who are they that shall inherit
eternal life? The righteous.
Those who had a care for every
want of the Son of man, whether
it were for bread or drink, shel
ter or clothing, medicine or comp-1
any or sympathy. The righteous
are forgetful of themselves, but
sleeplessly and inexhaustibly vig
ilant in looking after the small
est wants of their Redeemer.
The righteous can recall noth
ing of their good deeds, but the
hypocrite is always ready to tell
you the great things he has done.!
What the righteous had done had
really been done to their breth
eren, but the Lord tells them
with charming affection that
what they did for His bretheren
was put on the books as being
done for Him. Could there be
a sweeter thought of heaven, or
in it, than that our Redeemer
jots down every kindness we
show to his and treats as if done
for Him ? A salvation which does
not work its?lf out Christ-like
conduct is not the kind which
saves. The best test of salvation
is not our accepted, not our in
ward feelings, but the things
which we do to our fellow-men.
The wicked are turned away
because they slighted Him. He
needed bread and they did not
give it; He needed drink and shel
ter and other things and they
gave nothing. They will be sur
prised and when they question
the Lord, He will say “My peo
ple were hungry, and in prison,
and naked, and you did not help
them. When you refused to help
them I entered it on my book
that you refused to help me, and
ion that account you can have no j
mercy from the great judgment
throne.”
Nothing done for him is for
gotten. Things that made no
! impress upon the human mem
ory are vivid in His recollection.
They were done only because
they were natural to the soul
that was in the kingdom—the
reign of Jesus Christ in the nat
ural—and not with any rererence
to what they would bring in the
last day. In the rejected it seems
to appear that if they had any
idea that doing the things men
tioned would have had any force
in this crisis, they would have
! done them—not naturally, but
for what they could have made
out of them. The life that acts
with a view to Christ—doing
things for his sake—is the life
that wins. The life which will
do good for what reward may
! come, refraining from what may
i seem unprofitable, is the life that
is lost. Jesus identifies himself
with his people. When one does j
a favor to a servant of God, be
cause he is a servant of God, he I
|
is doing a service for Jesus; and!
you may count on it that no ser
; vice done for Jesus will ever failj
of its reward.
The service asked is of the
very humblest; the reward the
very greatest. Who cannot give '
! another a drink of water,a morsel j
of bread, or perhaps some clo
! thing? If we do not have these,
jwe can go and see the sick; and
l if one goes to prison for Jesus !
sake we can see him there.
We shall all* stand before the
J righteous Judge. On which side
shall we stand? Those on His
right hand will receive a blessed
| welcome and words of gracious
commendation. Those on the left
j can expect nothing but a sad sen
-1 fence of condemnation. Are we
ready for that great day? Only
they who repent of sin and be
lieve in Jesus as a personal Sav
iour will be welcomed into the
everlasting kingdom of glory.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, DECEMBER, 1, 1910
SLATON MAY BE
PRESIDENT! SENATE.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25. —The
| Slaton luck is coming to the sur
face. For some time it has seemed
orobable that John M Slaton
would have vigorous opposition to
| the presidency of the next senate.
! That was almost against pre
j cedent, for the genial gentleman
from Fulton has usually won his
honors smoothly and easily, and
without the necessity of a tight
But it. looked lor a time as if
Shepard, of Americas, was going
to give him an argument in the
next senate. However, the latest
information is to the effect, that
Mr. Slaton will be unopposed,
and will be named president of
the next senate without any other
name going before that body.
This fact opens up an interest
ing field of speculation in the
light of present conditions. 11
the legislature elects Hoke Smith
to the senate Mr. Slaton would
probably be right in line for the
governorship. He would doubt
less have a tight on his hands for
it, but bis long association with
; politics and politicians, bis com
! manding position in public life
and his leverage as president of
the senate would give him, many
think, tho inside for the governor
|ship.
Jule MeCtirry, president pro
; tern of the last senate, has al
ready announced his intention
|of becoming a gubernatorial
canidate if the whirl of the wheel
I makes a vacancy in that ollice.
Others will lie sure to get into it,
' but Jack Slaton is believed to
| iiave the inside edge as things are
now shaped.
JURY CHIPS IN FOR
LOWNDES CO. TIGER.
Valdosta, Ga., Nov. 27- —About
the smoothest blind tiger that lias
been operating in this section of
the state in a long time was haul
ed up before the grand jury yes
terday to tell all he knew about
the bu-mess, “without incriminat
ing himself.” This particular tiger
is one whom, it, is said, some time
ago made claims on the express
company for whisky that was lost
in transit. He wanted $1 50 a
quart. The express agent is said
to have told him that it was not
worth that much, and lie remark
ed that it was worth that much
to him because “he got that, much
for it.”
Yesterday this same tiger con
fessed his sins before the grand
jury and went as far as to read
them a chapter from the Bible of
where Christ was confronted with
I the sinful woman, whom He dis
| missed with the injunction to “go
in oeace and sin no more.” This
: Valdosta t iger applied these things
to himself. Then he went on to
i tell how hard he had worked to
j make an honest living to support
his wife and children and that
what whisky he had sold was
purely to raise money for an hon
est purpose and in order to avoid
begging for a living.
The man’s physical condition,
as well us his sincerity evidently
appealed to the members of the
j grand jury, for they refused to
find a true bill against him, and
1 instead of that they took a col
! lection and gave him about sls in
| money.
It was the most complete
j triumph that has yet been regis
tered by a tiger of the blind
variety of this community.
