possibly bo plainer than the message
which angels brought to those grieving
hearts of tho little group on Olivet. "TdU
same Jesus sh all so come in like manner
as ye havo seen him go loin heaven."
And this tunssa :e Is in perfect hirmony
wl It the repotted utterances of the j,ord
b. fore his iiruciilxioii. 1 have no ihenry
upon llm subject. I am satisfied with the
simple word of liod and am willing to
leave the theori.lr.g to others, more than
satistinl with the stupendous, glorious
fact that be is coming to crn-b Satan and
de tth under his feel, coin ing to claim his
own, who will be caught up to meet bliu
iu the air, c tilling to reign on earth as In
heaven, coming to in ike earth a heiven
below. Do vou ask whiiii he is coming?
He has expressly told tin we are not to
know this, but we are to expect him every
dav and hour, and this is to be the Inspi
ration of earliest mil and patient wailing i
Ho is coining end may ftoinn to dav. H i
you ask, how he is e -ining? I onlv know
so tar as the angels have told us, "In like
matter as vou have seen bliu go into
heaven." Tim clou. I of glory will form
his stairway e.irtlnvir I its it once was bis
