ti T KNl AP I' ALN * "iio t. S t tl1~ In . In an editorial, some weeks sinco, one sentenco reads thus: "Our belief is that our world's history is near the end." THE DA;LY.ColuilthiS : c ' y1 , otes tat oI sen).eted, ati4 'spi* th ks t at?a gteat ninny good peop rmay be unrosonably si disturbed by such declt,ration, and that they "would like to know what reasons we g, have for entertaining such a belief." To this the editor of THE RE.coln adds his own wish that we "would give the public - the benefit of whatever information we may have on the subject." t WYe do not profess to have more informa tion thaini others have or might obtain from in the Scriptures and the signs Of the tim ' v as predicted in the Scriptures. 'Ihe ad vent of Christ will cud the probation of the world. We lix to hour, no day, nor N year. Only the study of God's word and the drifting signs.of the tlnes le d us to the belief that tho worki Is approaching an I, inparallele(i crisis. Whether that crisis S will he the end of the world or something else time will show. C Soma persons teach that certain things sj ate yet. t takepiA.ce boforc tl'e,corning of Christ, which thhigs we are persuaded have p already taken 1)lace. For instance : ''Ask of me, and I 'shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance T and the uttermtost parts of the earth for ' thy possession." Pa. 11. 8. This was cer- . tainly fuhilled in thlc coronation of the Son, when all power was given unto him :o in heatven and in earth. In tfnaay parts of 0 the earth, not excluding parts of 'Christen dom," there ire millions of people who il ''will not have this man to rule over them." L Such are ighorantly or knowingly in rebel lion against the Ring df kings, i Many will ask: "Is not the gospel to be a preached in -all the world before the end comes?" has not this been done already? f At the time of the Pentecost "there were dwelling at Jerusalem devout men" out of every nation under heaven, who saw and , heard and. understood the marvelous mani festations of that occasion. Representa tively every nation then and there heard in their own language all that the tongues of 3 fire spake. d }3ut there is Scripture miore direct: "The , hope which is laid up for you in heaven, n whereof ye heard before in the word of r the truth of the gospel; which is come unto you, as it is in all the world." Col. i. 5, 0. ''Be not moved away from the hope . of the gospel, which ye have heard, and 20hic/h vas preacad to eeerj creature which 1s under Iearen.' V. 23. ''Mave they not heard? Yes, verily their Found went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the nurtd." Itomn. x. IS. If we htave crrecetly explained and ap- e plied the Seripture; r uoted-the giving of Lhe uttermost parts of the earth to the Son,r and the preaching of the gospel in all the world--then those events to which they refer are not between the present genera tion and the end of the world.-(hristin Neightlor. .

Belmont boasts of a woman who "goes out and chops wood with her husband." It is customary to use an axe, but he may be an unusually sliarp man.

For twelve or fourteei years I havo boon a groat sufferer f,rom a terrible form of blood poison which ran into. the ee ondary, and 3iially it was pronounced a tortiary form. .My head, face and shoulders became almost a mass of cor ruption, and finally the disease com menced eating away my skull bones. I became so horribly repulsive that for three years I absolutely refused to lot 1)001)lu i;o nlo. 1 used large quantities of most noted blood remetties and ap plied to nearly all physicians near ie, but my conl(ition continued to prow worse, and all said that 1 must surely die. Ny bones8 beenmrte the seat of ex cruciatinsg aches amnt pains; my iight were passed in misery; I was reduced in flesh and strength; my kidneys were terribly dora:tged, and life became a Lurden to mo.
