-r UBXI tv:;" . ' ' ftf*. *- IP fij ‘*''4 in an editorial, sotne weeks since, one Mntence reads thus: "Our Itelief is that our world’s Elstory is near the end. ” Thf. Daily (Columbia) Rrcord quotes that sentence, and seems to think that a great nwny good people may be unreasonably (Uaturhed bt such •declaration,. and that they “would like to know wltai reasons wc have for entertaining such a belief." To this the editor of Tint Hrooru adds his own wish that we “would give the public the benefit of whatever information we may have on the subject." — We do not profess to hiWmorc informa tion than others hare or might obtain from the Scriptures and the signs of the times as predicted in the Scriptures The ad vent of Christ will end the probation of the ivorld. We fix no hour, no day, nor , year. Only the study of God’s word and the drifting signs of the times lead us to the belief that the world is approaching an unparalleled crisis. Whether that crisis < wlll be the end of the world or something else time will show. Some persons tench that certain things are yet Jo take place before the coming of Christ, which'tbuigM we arc persuaded have already taken place. For instance : “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth lot, thy possession.’’ Ps. II. 8. This was cer tainly fulfilled in the coronation of the Sou, when all power was given unto him in heaven and in earth. In many puts of the earth, not excluding parts of "Christen dom,” there rrc millions of people who "will not have this man to rule over them." • Such are Ignorantly or knowingly in rcbcl- Tion against the King of kings. _ Many will ask: “is not the gospel to be preached in all the world before the end comes?” Has not this been done already? At the time of the Pentecost "there were dwelling at Jerusalem devout men” out of every nation under heaven, who saw and * beard and understood the marvelous mani festations of that occasion. ItepreaenU- A tlVely every nation then and there hoard in their own language all that the tongues of fire spake. But there is Scripture more direct: “The hope which is laid up for you in heaven. •, whereof ye beard before in the won! of the truth of the gospel, which is come unto you, as it is i* mil tk* tourid." Col. L 5, 0. “Be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and stkieJt tru* prtnehttl U> rrery rreaturs vAirA is umdtr Auk—1. ” SX "Mave Uiey not heard’ Yes, verily their sound west Into all the earth, and their words unto the end* •/ tAe ttvrU.Itom. x. 18 If we have correctly explained and ap plied the Scriptures quoted—the giving of tba uttermost parts of the earth to the Son and the preaching of the gospel in all the world—then Urwc event* to which they l refer are not between the present genera lion and the end of the world. —('AnWiaa Hmgkbur.
