At the Tent Meeting.
Reported for The Gleaner.
"72 years in the last generation
that will live on the earth," is a
statement made by Evangelist U.
D. Pickard in his tent across from
the court house square. In spite of
the cold weather, the interest is
growing. Mr. Pickard has a stove
in the tent now which makes it
warm and inviting.
He continued in part: The dark
ening of the sun on May 29, 1780,
and the falling of the stars on
November 13, 1833, were signs call
ing our detention to the end
of the world. More than this
God has been sending his messen
gers to all the world since the
year 1844, with the message oflHis
speeding return."
"It is said in Rev. 19:7, 'ln the
days of the voice of the seventh
angel, when he shall begin 10
sound, the mystery of Gocf shall
be finished.' - We are now living
in the days of the finishing of the
gospel on earth—it is a solemn
time in which" we live. And there
fore demands a careful studv of
! the Scripture prophecies relating
to this great event.''
"The prophecy of Daniel 8:13-1-1
not only establishes the Crucifix
ion, but it makes sure fie dite
i when we are to be.{in to reckon the
last generation of men that will
, live on earth". 2,'100 years are to
: bring us to of the
[ Sanctuary,, or the 'Judgment.' Now
these days according to Num. 14:34,
and Ex. 4:6, are BO many years; ami
Pan. 9:24-25, tells us that these
years were to bejrin at the 'going
forth of the commandment *o re
, store and to Jerusalem.
' The third decree to build Jerusa
lem wen', forth in the seventh year
•of Artaxorxes—Ezra 7:7. In the
raargin of this chapter is given the
dAte of B. C. 4557 from 2,300 yearn
it brings UH to A. U. 1813, and in
the year 1844."
"This bring# UH to the last gener
ation; and according to word* of
Christ in Matt. 21 34, 'This f -n
--eration shall not pass, till all those
things be fulfilled.- If we are now
72 years in that generation, t'ie eno
must be very near?"
"If men deny this prophecy, they
deny the prophecy that foretoi'i
the* Crucifixion of Christ; for i'i
Dan. 9 21, it says that 'Seventy
weeks are determined upon tv
people." That is, they were eut
off from tiie 2,300 .veirs. It was
in the seventieth week that Christ
died and maoe forever this ion,;
