1011I that t.'hrist now has in trlory, such
will be the nature and the appearance ot
Hi's relecnied und Klorimd people. Tneu
He shall appear, we shall lie l:ke llim, fur
we shall see iliin as He is. Tile liody of
His (.lory is not the body of His liniu'lllii

ous eaani-'t' is to tano place at the coining

comes, will be as sudden. The channel
that He will ffect will be Instantaneous.
Jl will not take Him Ioiik lo raise the dead

the twinkllm; of an eje, al the lust tramp
the dead shall be raised incorruptible and
We shall be ehanned. This Is (Jod's wold,
and that will be God's work.
The best preparation for Christ's sec.
ond advent Is to be thoroimldy Inteio-d. ,
in His (list advent. He came, to seek and
to save the lost. Are we anioiiK the
saved?. If we have cried to Him for mer

are trylm? to live soberly, riuht-ously and

for when Christ, w ho is our life, phull ap

In itlory, and so shall we be ever wlin the
