The Bible Outline of a Sermon on the SmuiJ
Coining of Christ.
By Rev. D. II. Tuttle.
To the one who loves and believes iu
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ the
Holy scriptures teach no doctrine more
comforting than that Ho is coming
again coming lor I hose that love His
ppeatiog," that whore he is tliero they
may bo also. Among men there are
iversitics of opinions us to this precious
ootrino. The tcachiog of the scriptures
clear. Then, to ihe Bible 0 Chrislian,
put your question and get God's answer.
And.
1. Is Christ coining again? This
question is answered by Matt. 25 31;
John 11:1, 2, 3, and Titus 2:13,14.
These Scriptures leach the manner nod
purpose of (lis coming; also that
Christians will bo "looking for that
blessed hope and the ulurious anneariiiL'."
o r i - - - n
nd.
How will Ho come; in spirit or in
person? This question is answered by
cts 1:11: " This same Jesus shall bo
come in like mauncr as ve hare seen
Ilitn go." 1 Thess, 4.16,17; "The Lord
Himself shall doceod,'' etc Rev. 1:7;
Every eye shall see Him," etc Why
the "wai'ing" name in this Scripture if
the entire world is all convened at
Christ's second coming? "Wailing"
moans woe to the wicked. A spiritual
coming of Christ would ba gradual; a
personal eoniiDg would be sudden as a thief
in the night. Christ's second coniiug is
sudden, See Luke 12:30, 40; 2 Peter
10.
3 What are some of the sigos of the
time near the icon J ejmin; of Christ?
This siuie question was asked of Jesus
by his disc-inks in Matt. 24 3. Jesus
aoswerod theui:
(1) Sign-See Malt, 2 1:0, 7 and 24.
(2) Sign-Sue Matt. 11:12, 13.
(3) Sign-See Mitt. 24:14.
(4) Sign-See Matt 21:37 to 31).
(5) Paul's Sign (lj-"A falling away,"
and the devii "showin ' hiiuself ili.it In
God. The uuos iou of ihe churches
uw is "Ho to leach Uiu uiussesf
Why this unless there is a fuliiug away.'
The devil in niouey shape is w taliinpcd
the olmroh.es to au alarming extent,
ud is controlling iu many places the
ffiirs and faith of the church.
Paul's (2) Sign, was that of "perilous
irucs . lim. J: 17. Had Paul lived
to day he could not have wiiitcu a more
vivid or life like description of our
times.
Peter's Sign "Last days scoffers,"
Peter 3:3, 4. Amid the very fulfilling
f the sigus scoffers will ask, "Where is
the promise of his coiniug?" This is now
being doue.
4. How does God expects to fiud
His people? (1) Like the wise virgins
Matt. 25:1 14; (2) Like men that wait
lor their Lord Luke 12:35:37; (3)
Unblamable in honilioess." 1 Thess.
12, 12; (4) "Blameless." 1 Thess 5:
3; (5) " Be found of Him in peace,
without spot and blameless " 3 Peter
11;14. God grant thai wo may be so
found iu that day.

ON GROWING OLD.
Not Everyloiy Knows How to Do with Much
Grace.
ADVERTISEMENTS.
Growing old is not a pleasant cxperi
onco, wo aro obliged to confess. It comes
lite a shook to us when wo first wake up
to the reality. We wonder how long it
may have been since others have noticed
and commented upon it.
When somo friend invites us to "a
grandmother's tea," with the apology, "I
knew you had grandchildren," wo are
aroused to the consciousness that pethaps
wo do not seo ourselves us others sec us.
Wo are constrained to tuko our bearings
by ootn paring and contrasting our feelings
and our experiences with our younger
ffiends.
We rebel inwardly, even though we
should "die and mako no sign," when
we see ourselves set aside and younger
ones taking our places. We know there
is a great deal said about furrows on beau
tiful brows, wrinkled hands that have
done life's duties well, and all that. It
may sound very well, and all that. It
may sound well on paper, but the actual
facts are cold and hard ones, for
We know that something 6weet
Followed youth with flying feet,
And it never comes again.
We are told that gray hairs and wrink
les count for nothing so long as the heart
is young and as long as wc keep in touch
and sympathy with youth and life's inter
ests and occurrences. But few and far
between are the voyagers on the ooean of
time who have sailed through unruffled
seas. For tho many the billows have
been high, the waters deep and the cur
rents swift, and even if after storm oomes
cilm the market is weather beaten and
the journey has left its impress.
When we fiud our minds continually
running backward instead of forward in
anticipation of pleasures that never come
wo may safely conclude that wo have
reached the hilltop and henceforth the
journey lies down hill.
One of the hardest things in life is to
submit to the inevitable and to learn to
let go. Of it is through a discipline that
is heart breaking that we do learn how.
All our lives we have seen the children
of others grow up and go out into the
world and have thought of it as one of
those "inevitables," but when our own
ladings spread their wings and take
glit from the parent nest ah, then we
know! We never had realized that some
lay ours would no longer need or want
our help, that they were strooger even
than us.
We can only cover our longing and
our loneliness with a cheerful exterior
nd feel hopeful that they may still be
able to sing though we may never hear
them.
Then, too, we see our cherished delu
sions one after another vanish into the
air. Once be believed tbey were facts,
but as they no longer comfort or amuse
us, we are constrained to believe that
they were only fanoies or creatures of
our imagination. What was truth yes
terday is falsehood tomorrow. As we
move onward every day's experience and
revelation shatter our faith in something
ur Berne one. All along the way there
aro milestones that mark betrayals and
disappointments, and other stones, teo,
underneath which are dear friends and
ompanions, who in the beginning
started with us cheerfully and oonfident
ly. They have wearied with "the march
f life" and laid them down to rest
But our experience is only the common
one. we had our roaes and our May
aud iu the natural order of tliiogs sooner
or later must enter upon December.
J y made us glad; let sorrow find us true:
i il blessed our roses; he will bless our
rue.
Very lew people are awaie of the
medicinal qualities of grapes; but these
they possess. The pulp is nutritrious,
and the juice contaios sugar, tannic acid,
bitartrato of potassium, turtrato of cal
cium, comuoD talt and sulphate of potas
sium, Without doubt, the woman who
cultivates the habit of eating a great
deal of ffuit is the gainer of health and
appearance. The grape fruit, or shad
dock, so called from its discoverer, Lieut.
Shaddock, or, to mention its soft Chi
nese name, pumelo, is highly prized hy
those who live in malarial localities. It
is a charming rival to quinine and bonsct,
and is driving them from the field. She
who cats her grape fruit with a spoon
from the natural cup, or relishes it served
as a salad, may gladden her heart with
the reflection that she is not only pleas
iog her palate, but benefiting her health
Like oranges and lemons, the grape fruit
has great medicinal virtues. If you are
of a bilious temperament, eat grape fruit;
if fever threatens, eat grape fruit, but iu
this latter case do so only at the advice
of a physician, as there may be certain
tendencies which the grape fruit would
only aggravate. Tho complaint is ofteo
made that this fruit is extremely bitter
and unpleasant. It is only the whit'
inner rind which is so, and this should
be carefully removed. Scientific Ameri
can.

There has lately been added to tho
collection of plants at the botanic gar
dens at Madras, India, a specimen of a
strange tree, writes un East India cor
espondent to London. It is in size
scarcely more than a bush, but other in
dividuals of its t-pecics are kuown to
have attained, in their habitation in the
Himalayas, Buriuah and the Malacca
peninsula, the dimensions of a large tri e,
from fifty to seventy live feet in height.
The Madras specimen is surrounded by a
strong railing, which bears the sign,
Dangerous; all peisous are forbidden lo
touch the leaves or brauches of this
tree."
It is therefore a forbidden tree iu the
midst of ihe gardcu, but no one is tempt
ed to touch it, for it's known to be a
burning tree." This name is a misno
mer, for the tree slings rather than bums.
Beneath the leaves there are stings
comparable to those of nettles, which,
when touched, pierce the skin and
secrete a fluid which certainly has a
burning effect
Tho sting leaves no outwatd sign, but
the sensation of pain exists sometimes
for months, and is especially keen i n
damp days, or when the place which has
been wounded is plunged in water. Tho

this tree crows urn iu such terror of it
