Lookingback a century, it is evident that the world was more asleep then than now. And yet this awakening has affected chiefly what might be termed the middie brain. The lower organs of the mind have never been idle. The higher or gans of the brain are still dormant with the majority.

Our awakening signifies our coming to a consciousness of the actualities of our condition as Individuals and as a race As consclonsness comes to us we look about and see the pell mell rush of humanity and ask ourselves, Why? What? Whither? We soon discover that the majority of those about us are practically unconscious as respects a future life—consclous only of thelr present existence, and worried and fretted because they cannot attain all of thelr ambitions, which are prac tically limited to the few years of the present life. As we become awake to the Lord's message we say with the poet, Life is real, life is earnest, And the grave Is not its goal We begin to look beyond the grave, 20 realize that our Creator had a great purpose in our creation as a race, and that the present life consequently can ©e nothing more than a vestibule to the future possibility of life eternal We note the tendency of our day to de vote at least the first fifteen years of those Are should the world childhood to education in order to fit | and prepare for the few remaining years of the present life, We conclude that If this be reasonable then surely all of the present life can be none too tong for a course of schooling, and gyalning, and preparation, for the life eternal.

This exhortation “Arise dead” evidently does not tual resurre from the which we would have no power to raise ourselves. The power of that resurrection we are assured is in the hands of God, and all we can have to do with it Is to make such a prepara tion of heart would, according to the divi fit and prepare us for a He “better resurre tion": rst resurrection.” The re tion of the futu: our onl life beyond the t according he Beriptures, but ti thought tion 1s carried forward : vord resurrected used in a figuratl nse in respect to the phenomenal change which may c« to tho ho hear the Lord's vole the pre t » and are awakenes thereby. e 1 ugh the « eration weir wills undergo sucl prese; as not really belle from the relate to a dead, from tion as thro however dead they may fections and ghtem we w ef ted As a race Because Christ died for human sir “t , sins of the 18114 re or whole world” an awake: ~*"for the therefore e 3 from the dead will come to all man kind.

It Is speak ing of the present time when the god of this world, Satan, blinds the min and stops the hearing of all mankind except a few. “Blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear.” The awakened ones of the present time are expected to have new desires, distinctly separate and apart from those which control the world In general, and these must be so strong gs to lead them to a changed course In Ife to rise, to take a higher plane of thought and action than that of the world in general.

Nelther gives the other credit for any other principle or motive than avarice. The clash be tween the two will precipitate what the Scriptures designate as “A time of frouble, such as never was since there was a nation” (Danfel xi1, 1).
