Our Heavenly Home. YOL'.VtJ I'KOPfJi AND ADCI.T TOP IC-^rlloauty ami Power of Ihu Chris tian's Hope. I. Assurance of a Heavenly Home (.Inn. 14:1-3). i Tlie announcement concerning the I death of ClirJst, accompanied with the | shaping of events which pointed to a : speedy accomplishment of tlie same, shattered tlie disciples' hope. The Lord told them that He was going away and that they could not follow Him. This brought great grief to ? their heurts. They ? perhaps began to j doubt Ills Messlahshlp, hut He did not j I leave them comfortless. 1. He asked til em to believe and j I trust In Himself as God (v. 1). "Ye believe in God, believe also In i me." Faith in tlie God.-nmn, Christ I Jesus, will steady the heart, no mat ter how great the sorrow or intense the grief. If we will but place the cures and burdens of life upon Him our tears shall be turned Into Joy and our despondency transformed into a radiant hope. 2. He assured them that He was going to prepare a place for them In His Father's house (v. 2).. lie assured them that that place would have an abuiidunce of room, for there were "many mansions" in His Father's house. We should learn from this that heaven Is not on imaginary place. It is a prepared place for a prepared people. ' I!. He assured them that He would come again and escort them to heaven (v. 3). Jesus will not wait for Ills own to come to Him, but will personally come back to the earth and call forth from the graves those who have died in the ' faith (I Thess. 4 :1G, 37). und trans form living believers and take them all to he With Himself fn the heavenly home for evermore. When He said, "I will come again," He no doubt meant His personal, bodily and literal return to this earth. II. Assurance of the Resurrection of the Body (II Cor. 5:1-10). That which nerved Paul for his conflict even jphen physical death threatened was the as i surance that even such violence "Would I but hasten his presence with tin; Lord. As he faced the uncertain future lie was sure: 1. That his present body was only a tabernacle, a tent in which he lived temporarily (v. 1). Though this tent were destroyed he had nothing to fear, as there was a building to take its place. This house which is to tuke the place of the tent Is (1) From Clod. (2) Not made with hands. (tt) It is eternal. Our nnturnl body at best- crumbles to dust in about three score and ten years, but the resurrection body shall abide forever. (4) It Is to be "In the heavens." 2. He earnestly longed for the change (vv. 2-4). The human person ality Instinctively shrinks from a state of disembodiment, but the intelligent Christlun earnestly, longs for the ex change of the natural body for the spiritual. . We long to put off the per ishable and take on tiie imperishable. 3. This plan wus wrought by God (?. 5). God did not fashion the body for death, but for life. God Is not the (Soil of tlie dead but of the living. ? 4. Believers should be of good cour age (vv. 0-S). While we live In this body we are absent from the Lord, but because of the Holy Spirit dwelling within ns. we confidently walk by faith, beinn more anxious to he absent from the body and present with the Lord. 5. The believer's chief concern In this life should be to please the Lord (vv. 0, 10). Nothing matter* ? health, sickness, strength, weakness, fame or obscurity, friends or loneliness ? provided at the end of the Journey we hear the Lord's "well done, good and faithful servant." III. Glorified With the Lord (I Jno 2:2, 3). We are now God's children, but tlie change which awaits the resurrection has not come yet. When It conies it will reveal our wonderful future. When the Ron of God xlmll be dan I fest we shall he like Him In glory. When Christ shall cme again tlie saints shall^ share ills glory. This glo ?lous hope will transform the lif**. The ?iiu? who has it will keep himself pure evrn as lie Is pure. ' Overcoming Temptation Every time we allow a temptation to o\erooi:if us we are wr-aV.er.

BAPTIST REVIVAL GROWING I IN INTEREST AND IN ZEALM Rev. C. J. 731ack Forceful Prea%:h.er ? Presentation of Sub ject of Second Coming of Chr ist Considered a Masterpiece H iiov. ('. J. Black, assisting IJov.. Wallace Hansell in the g.?val re vival being conducted at the Brevard BAptist church, is preaching power ful sermons, brim-full o? ' thy old iiine ' religion. All last w<*t'k, ami this week, Mr. Black preaehfS twice daily ? at 10 a.m. and 7:.'?0 p.m. Large crowds are ail ?ntls:?^r the meetings annd much in tore i.< Ui> ing shown in the campaign. . \n Last Sunday evening the- .'Jetho dist church dispensed wjtb ijv.ir aer vices, and attended the Baptist re vival, several of the Methodists mak ing part in the program in song and prayer. At the Sunday evening i-?rviees Hev. Mr. Black preached on "The .Second Coming of Christ." It was a masterful presentation of this ques tion which ha* engaged the he it thought of th" world ever since the disciples asked Tlim in person when he would return, and how ihey Would know of His coming; The preacher regretted the fact that people of vhis age are so seemingly indifferent to this great event that is already cast ing its shadow upon the wall. Christ is coming again, Rev. Black asserted with all the force of his energetic natur This fact is clearly borne out in many places of tho Bible, the preacher said. As to the manner of His coining there are many theories, yet the Bible tells plainly of the great event. His com ing will he miraculous, just as His first coming was miraculous. It will be personal, and will be visible More than this, the second coming will 1)2 the last. Christ is coming again, because He sai<i he was coming. It is neces sary that He come again into the world, first: to fulfill the prophecies; second to set the world back on its basis, and make of it the place of perfection that was created in the beginning. Third, to judge a:id reward His servants. Signs of His coming again, that were mentioned by Him and in the various prophecies (if fK6 Book, are many. He said, and the prophecies said, there would be physical signs, such as earthquakes . throughout the world. Then there arc to be politi cal signs, with nation arrayed against nation in warfare, with peace; aytong nations almost un known: And there were, to be intel lectual signs, with mockers and "jeer or9 and scoffers. Intellectuality should take the place of Christian ity, in the last days preceding the coming-. of the Master. Commercial signs, too, were to enter, into the days of His coming, when business would not know what to do nor how to invest, plan or execute. 'Last in the list "f the signs of the coming of Cnrist is religious signs. : Whpn laws should be* disrvgarded, when tin* manner ??.f living was so discoursing that Christians lost faith ami ministers l?>st power. . Mr. iSlack ilicii' his hearers if they recognised any of ihcsc signs today. lie wanted to know if it means anything to ilie Christian that ChrisC has been dethroned in ?.hw community, in the home ami in ihe church. j_ Return of the Jews to Palestine, in kve ping with the propheci? s, was jftllcred by Mr. IJIack as the ilnal ar gument that people should he ready ? for this coining. The building of a gieat univvrsitv at Palestine means much to the liiole student, Mr. Black said. The purchase "of the Kuphra ties Valley by the Rothchilds should mean a lot to those who know the Bible and its prophecies. / The big question presented by Mr, Black was preparedness, for His com ing. He deplored the fact that peo-' pie go on from day to day., pushing] their business and pursuing thci*'| pleasure, with never a .thought for. the Coming of ChriSt^xA' It was a powerful ^presentation o| ' a most powerful subject, and the intense earnestness of the preacher' added much to the force of his mes sage.
