The Pas tor’* topic was from a text we huve never before heard discussed In the jiulplt—"Then shall appear the slgu of the Son of Man In heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming In the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”—Mutt 34:30 The speaker pointed out that various suggestions have been made by schol ars respecting the Import of this prophecy by the Master. Some guess e(l that the sign would be a Cross In the shy. Olliers thought that It would be Christ Himself, who would aiijieur In some wrathful form to humanity, causing dismay. The Pastor surmised that his hearer* had rend the published reports of his sermon of last Sunday respecting the Second Coming of Christ In its two phases—the Pnrousla, or invisible pres euee, followed by the Eplphauia, or bright-shining lu darning tire, or Jiulg inent- He asked his hearers to remem her the finding* of last week—that we cannot say that the sign of the Son of Man tn heaven will he His Parousla On ths contrary, the l’arousla of Christ will not he known to the tribes, or families, of the eurth In general, but will be known only to the most saintly ones of the Church of Christ. Conse fluently, the sign of the Son of Man must lu some sense stand related to Ills Kpipbtiniu. or shining forth In the ‘‘flaming fire” of judgment, which the whole World of mankind wlll recognize The hearers were reminded that the word "slgu” Is of broad meaning: for Instance, crepe Is a Blgn of mourn lug; the Cross represent* Christianity: the Crescent, Mohammedanism. In other words, n sign is merely an lmll cation. So when we read of the "sign of the Son of Man in heaven,” the thought might properly he that thlug will occur indlcstlve of the pres ence of the Son of Mnn-Mhat He has taken to Himself Ills great power and has begun Ills Reign Since the Son of Man Is to be revealed In fiamlng fire, taking vengeance. It follows that this slgu must he some sign of vengeance, some Indication of righteous ludtgua tlon against wroug. The question, then, arises. How would •ueb a slgu, or Indication, appear In the sky, lu the heavens? The Pastor replied that this Is not the thought. On the contrary, he urged his hearers to remember that the Bible repeatedly uses the words heaven, mountain, sea. In a symbolical manner—the earth rep resenting organized society; the iuouu tains representing kingdoms, as the backbones of this organized society: the seas representing the restless masses of humanity, continually seek Ing to swallow up the social ’’earth.” In the san e symbolic terms the heav ens represent the ecclesiastical (low ers of the world—Churchlanlty The sign appearing In the heavens, the Pastor believes, signifies that the be ginning of Christ’s judgments will fall u|Hm the ecclesiastical systems of our day. The flauilug fire of judgments will first manifest Itself tn ecclesiasti cal affairs and circles Mankind will gradually become swak ened to the thought that n new Gov ernment is In control, and that Its pol icy will be the law of "judgment to the line and righteousness to tie plum met.” Since unrighteousness is preva lent as n result of man's fallen condi tion. the conscience* of the whole world will he awakened, quickened; and fear, dread, will come uihhi all classes every where. This will be not ouly because they will see the primary sign of Christ’s righteous judgments In rell gious circle- but been line thev will see Him cobiiixi drawing nearer and near <*r In Judgment; and they will recogulze that they, teo, must shortly b* In votved. Hen e then- will ls> mourning isk-nnse of Him I'urtherttiore. It will tie remembered that ail the families of the earth have very erode ami la. on e t ( n-ws of Mes -Inti and -if the oltloct of Ills Second Coming and Kingdom The ‘‘doctrine of devils,” brought Into the elutrc) •-reeds <1 • the Dark Ages, have - made vo-.i Word „f God that ll BEAD HERALD WANT ADS THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. majority <»« it...,..- . ;i>- Almighty, dread Him as lin-ir Almighty l-'oe. In stead of realizing Him to be the God of all givi e and the l-'atiter of all mercies "from w’i an eometh every good and perfect gift." The eyes of the world have been blinded to Hie goodness of God. Ter rilile dread lu .tin* hearts of humanity will lead to the v , II of fear as they perceive Christ’s righteous judgments encircling all the earth "TUe , -ti- uni! groaning* promlsvd To |iri-(oC«* a .*«-m:ifl Lirth."

Only those who are truly the Lord's and are rightly Informed respecting the Divine I’luu of tile Ages will be able to lift up their heads and rejoice, knowing that their ’’deliverance dratveth nigh." “The Heavers Being on Firv." Rt. Peter apparently described this sign of the Son of Man In the heavens revealed In fiamlng tire. His words are “The heavens living on file shall be dis solved.” and "the earth also [shall take fire) and the works that are therein shall be burned up." d! Peter 3:10-12.: Let us not make the mistake of our forefathers In sup|ios!ng that these do sc riptions mean a literal burning of tin literal earth. I.et us, on the contrary realize that the symbolical earth and the symbolical heavens are to catch fire and pa:.; away with a great com motion, while the physical earth will remain practically us It is. and will be gin to undergo the transforming in ti u enees of Restitution under the ue« King, the Restorer of all things—Jesus and His glorified Church. It will he noticed that St. Peter men tlons the fire as coming to the heavens before it reaches the earth, in just tin same order that Jesus stated the mat ter. The sign, manifestation, of the flaming fire of judgments will appear in the heavens; and subsequently the sign of the Son of Man in judgment will be seen coming nearer and nearer to earth's affairs, with a view to purg lag them 'absolutely from everything sinful, selfish, unjust. We are told that the elements will melt with fervent heat. We see the Capitalistic element and the Labor ele ment separating, the one from tin other. We see (ho preparations for tin great conflagration, the great Time o! Trouble. We sometimes speak of it In this language, saying. "Things are gel ting very hot." They will presently h so hot that spontaneous combustin', will set lu. And the lire of that Dai will he so extreme and its results so drastic as to fulfil the Master's word that unless those days of tribulation should he shortened no flesh would survive. But because of the Election, becausi of the Kingdom which will then be so! up. those days will be shortened brought to an cud. Nothing will In destroyed except that which is in jurious. The world wide results of thin flaming lire of Div ine Judgments wi! be corrective, preparing men’s heart for the blessings which the Lord i prepared then to give. Thus It is writ teu, ‘‘When the Judgments of the Lord are abroad In flip earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness " It will lie noted that St. Peter, In speaking of that Time of Trouble, men tlons that the heavens—ecclesiastldsm —will lie on lire first; and that Inter, tho earth—society and its political, financial and social organizations— will he Involved also. In harmony with this, our text tel Is that this sign, or Indication, for the revealing of Messiah In flaming lire, will fir§t be 1n the Church Furthermore, according to St Peter's statement, we are to expect that the ee< lesiastlcnl heavens will pass away with a great noise—a great com motion—before the social order is fully reached by the consuming fire. The same thought is brought to our attention in Revelation, where a wide distinction Is made between the nominal church systems, called Baby lon. and the true Church, which ts admonished in advance to come out of Babylon and to stand in personal rela tionship to God through Christ This general call, which belongs to the end of the Age. before the judgments come upon Babylon, reads, “Come out of her, My people, that ye be not par takers of her sins, aud that ye receive not of her plagues." The intimation is that ns soon as the loyally obedient have been gathered out of Babylon some drastie trouble will come upon her. We should not apply this term "Rab yton’* to individuals, but to great sys tem*. outwardly having a form of godliness, but really misrepresenting the Dtvtue character, the Divine Plau. the true tr: citings of the Bible. Of course, the Individuals IdentHJed with the systems have more or less respon idbility. according to their official posi tlon and their Intelligence In similar proportion these Individuals may have tribulations In conjunction with the fall of Babylon We do not under stand the term '’Babylon" to lie ap piled Scrtptorally to any sect or party btit rather to refer to the general con glomorntlon of systems and denomlna tlons Likewise, when reading of the litter destruction that Is to come upon Babylon, we arc to differentiate he tween the systems and the individuals connected with those systems. The Judgments of the Ixird are not designed to crush or destroy humanity, but to destroy utterly the systems of error, bondage and superstition which have fettered humanity and hindered them from fuller progress amt develop ment tn the knowledge and favor of God With the fall of the great sys tem* (Babylon, con fusion' men’s eyes will begin to open: the blind will begin to "see out of obscurity" (Isaiah 2l):18l As a result, the high praises of God will arise a« a sweet savor The fall ut Ralivlon ts declared to USE HER AID WANT ADS. come speedily, suddenly -figuratively. ; “lu an dour." The descriptions of her fall alt* various. In one jilnce we read that she shall be utterly burned with fire. The same symbol of fire is used by Ht. I’eter in referring to the same trouble and destruction. In another place we read that Babylon shall be cast like a great millstone into the sea and be found no more at all. “Every Eye Shall See Him." Throughout this Gospel Age. the Lord's people have with tho eye of faith recognized Jesus as their Redeem er and Deliverer. But comparatively few have had such eyes of faith and understanding The majority, as the Apostle declares, are blinded by Satan and by error, and fail to get a proper, true view of Christ. He says that "the god of this world” has blinded the minds of all unbelievers. But the gracious |iromise of the Lord is that all the blinded eyes shall be opened. The exjieriences of eighteen cen turies have done little toward opening the eyes of the world; but the revela tlon of Me: i.ih In flaming fire will np peal to them quickly. They will see Him thus -"Every eye shall see Him. and those ulso who pierced Him”—the Jews. Instinctively they will fear. It may require a considerable time for them to become fully persuaded that the One feared is their best Friend, who gave His life as their Redemption price, and whose judgments in tin earth are for the very purpose ol breaking the bondage of fear, igno ranee superstition, sin. selfishness and injustice, and of allowing the whole world to go free from a sin-slaverv which has long oppressed them. In due time they will learn that the fire of God's auger does not burn against the sinners for whom Christ died, but merely against their sins. The learning of this lesson will open their eyes still more widely and enable them to see something of the length, the breadth, the height and the depth of God's Love, of which the Apostle tells —Ephesians 3:14-19. That the Jews will be in that trouble, the Bible distinctly marks out. It will be “the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah 80:7.) The Gospel Church having been completed by that time and having passed beyond the veil, God’s favor will be restored to Natural Israel; and the time for the special manifestation of that favor will be in the dark hour of Jacob’s trouble, when the Jews are surrounded by enemies. In and through that trouble the Lord will pour upon them the spirit of grace and of sup plication. and they will look upon Him whom they pierced. (Zechariah 12:10.) They will discern that they made a great and horrible mistake in crucify ing the Friend of Sinners, their long promised Messiah. We are told that they shall mourn because of Him, and that then the spirit of prayer and sup plication will come to them and they will see Jesus In llis real character. At or about that same time Divine favor will be manifested on Israel's behalf, and the Lord will deliver them, as In olden times. Their eyes of faith and understanding will open more and more widely. Eventually, according to the Bible, they will become the lend ers of mankind in returning to God. who will abundantly pardon their iniquity anil grant them a prominent share In the blessings of His Kingdom. •Few Stripes” and "Many Stripes.” The great Messianic Kingdom will not spare the rod. but will inflict pun Ishments for the world’s correction in righteousness. Borne will suffer more and some less, according to the Mas fer’s own statements. Those under standing the principles of righteous ! ness and wilfully violating them will be beaten heavily, “with many stripes”; while others, such as the heathen, for instance, who knew little, will receive fewer stripes, proportion ate to their ignorance. All the stripes, however, will be reformatory, and with a view to helping and encouraging the transgressors to abandon the ways of iniquity and to walk in the paths of righteousness. That will be a happy day for earth’s thousands of millions—a Day with the Lord, a thousand years. Everywhere there will be evidences of the operation of Divine Mercy and Justice, and the | necessary lessons will be quickly i learned by all people. AVe cannot doubt that even fifty years of Kingdom in j fluenee will make a wonderful change ! in bumau affairs and conditions. The blessing of the Lord will come to the earth In proportion as God’s will shall be done on eurth. Finally, with all sin eliminated, all Imperfections gone aud all the wil fully wicked destroyed, every creature on earth, as well ns in Heaven, will be heard saying, “Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto Him that sltteth upon the Throne and unto the Lamb forever and ever.” Then, and not till then, will God’s will be done #n earth, even as it Is done tn Heaven; for not until then will there be ft per fect race capable of doing God's will, and a tested race, all of whom will de light to do His will. A specki I lesson to God's people to day is that now is the Church's time of calling, acceptance and making their election sure by hearty obedience to the Divine will. Thus neither shall we lie of the world, who will wall because of the sign of the Son of Man In the dl* solution of the ecclesiastical heavens, nor shall we be Identified with th* *ede*lastl. :>I heavens, which are to be dissolved Rather, It ts our pHvllege. as followers of Jesus, to walk In Ilia steps, to stand for th« right, to he | guided of the Holy Spirit, to "come out | of Babylon.” to "touch not the unholy | thing." that we may have relationship : and fellowship with the Lord, with I the Savior, with the holy Apostles and j with all the faithful martyrs and foot i step follower* of our Master.
