the matter, I am sorry to know TIENTSIN LINEA rucolas service le rua' from Mares to November hetwas laughey ste Tiers that some of the excellent people who are always looking out for a speedy winding up of the present age have beer exploiting this pre- carious prophecy. They will find that they have only raised one more togey which time will de prive of its terrors. That is a thing they have done far too often already, to the injury of the cause they have at heart. They have been announcing the speedy end of the age in one form or another ever since I can remember and
long before, and, no matter how LTD.often
their predictions go wrong, they are always ready for the next one. People of that tendency are usually quite impervious to advice, but they would be well advised, at any rate, to make sure that state- ments which purport to be science will stand examination before they appeal to them.

The gospel of Jesus, Christ will never be really advanced by play- ing on people's nerves with threats of earthquakes and tor- nados. When the threats are found to be empty, any temporary zeriousness of mind induced by them passes off, and the last slate of excited souls is worse than the first. People resent having been deceived, and in the reaction their hearts are deadened against even legitimate moral appeals. The Kingdom of God. said our Lord, comes not with observation, neither shall they say lo here, or lo there, for behold it is within
you.

It may please God to bring 8th December.. to an end the world which he has created next moment, or not for millions of years.
I do not know, neither does any man. If I believed the world were going to end on December 17th or any other given date, I would go on with my work as usual. No man can be more and no one. should do less than try to go on with his duty, at any time and in 2ny circumstances. I we are living lives we should be ashamed of if the Lord should requirë our soals to-morrow, by all means let us pull up short and turn sharp around. God is not waiting for some consummating moment to call us to account: He is calling us to account every day, and there would be little change of heart, though there might be some re- form of habit, in any of us from an assurance that 10 days hence, lor 10 years, we should have to face a day of reckoning.
