iStKrilt that' heaven is a great Way oft, when it should be here : for Paul "•; .. ^e
KlJdO in Sri^iVsteadbe^e reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 6i 18-19.-^' And a I thin«
SyOod, who hath reconciled u, to himself, by Jesus Christ, and hath given to u. tK«
Siktry Of reconciliation ; to wit that God was in Ch'iist, reconciling the world unto hm»-^
Sn not iiftpoting their trespasses onto them ; and halh committed "n«o."- «he wo^ o^
SSncihatirti." The margin reads, " hath put in o« the word of recdncilia. on." Now
KS^^^ a"'»»he bride say come. Here Christ ,s represented as ep.riW
wlkiLthJotiglithe bride; for Christ is a quickening spirit. In another pace it i«
ICwK the Lord js that spirit ; so we see It is the spirit that speaks to all churcha..
«!b 9? 28.-" So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many ; and unto them tiJSt
WforWnt .hall he appear the second time, without sin, unto salvatioii." Inasmuch if
' ft«-4Koiild have said without that body unto the redemption of ours; for it is written. h^
JLJttly one body, and that bocly is the Church. In the fulness of tune all will be gath-
HMd III him. both that are asleep and awake ; they that are Christ's at his coming. Af
JKr#ia.»'dSputein the days ot IMose* abo'ut His body, so jt r. now abo.jt the itera

Mhple Who would deny the only Lord that bought them ; now Paul tells^us what Muse.
Spretented Chnst in all his honse-ns a servant of ihings^that were to be spoken^aR.r.
Heb.'3M ta6,~" Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers ot the heavenly ca'hMg, consn ej

WOVb^hat Jttde ^had reference to the body of Mpses.^ As the Jews «<>»M "« J"°^^

the mIiw prtphol thill wrnnijtnl niirncleM b«)r<ir«^iin, w'ilh whii'h li^ d{t;ot<ive<i tliero" that
had received the murk ofihflhetM, niid them thiit worahipml hja imn^e. Tliene bot|i
were caM alive inio n lake i)r lire tMiriiiii^<r with britnatoiie.'* Tlii<t slates ilint Ihey were to
be cai«t alive, not dead« tyn llie cliiir<t|ief«itup|Hirte tb«y are at the prH^eiit lime. See that
thia agreoa with Malt. '2^: 41.— '* Then stiall he any unto ihein oii the lerrtiami, deiiart
from me, ye curbed, intnevsrinsliira (ire, prepared Iqr the devil and his uniruli*." Thit
? roves that llie lake of llrif, or hell, takei* pla';e when the peace is lakenvtiif the eatlh.
'hen he cornea quickly, aiullii$ revvanla with him, to pive unto eveiy man according to •
hia yvorks. Then the^e miniMerfi or angels, who .liave not preaolind the go.'<pel, wil! be
caul out with their father the devil ; like Hih name that was with the Jews. Tli*ty thought
they knew who the Lqtdwaa, but it seems they did not ; so it will be with the Genliiea
or Pharisees. Thiii L^znriiii represents the rigliieous, or pil;>rim,or the little fliickptshewa
that lltey are poor, ynd-deperid upon what (alls tioin Ihe lich niuu's table ; that uiler ihey
•have worked for it, ihey have to beg for it before they can gel it. But God has chosen
the poor of this world, but rich in faith and heirs of Ihe kiiigdum. The beggar is repre-
ftented icTbedeud and buried. He is dead to the worM, but nlive to hit master, and
bulled by the twenty-four elders in the truth ; so that he can stand upon the sea of glass,
by having on the wmldiiig garment. These soies are hardtthips to get Ihe&ei crutube
that fall Irom the rich men's table, forlheir present wants. These dogs are men that
live on lhei<e rich man's farms ; that wheivlheu rent is due Ihny have to be like a dog,
obedient to their maMers ; and tlie> will relieve a poorman, or give nssiritanoe, before a
rich man will, because Ihey know the need of it. But Abraham saiil. Son, remember that
thou in thy lifetime receivedest thy good ihir.gs, aiuLJikewise Lnzarrus evil things ; but
now he IS comforted, arid thou art loriiienkMl. Nn^vyousee how ipany receiving their
.goo<l things, when the resurrection lakes place they receive their evil things; but they
will not believe it now^ Then it will be saiil there was a rich man in this state of things.
And now Lazarus IS leceivinrr his evil ihinK* ; but when ihis last trumpet arill be dona
Bounding, then the dead in Clirisi shall rise first, and we which are alive shall be chang-
ed. Tlien Lazarus will receive his cood things, andlbe in Abraham's bosom, which ia
the Whole earth; then it will befuifilled what wasspVken by the Saviour, whenyeahall
aee Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of God, and you yourself thrust out, theil
Ibere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Now the rich man can have Lazarr.s to
•how him the way to the fountain of water that was opened in EmatiuelV side. Then
he said, I pray thee,, therefore, father, ihatthon woulds't send liim to my father's house,
for I havefive brethren : that he may testify unto them, Ifst ther also come iiVto Ihia
place of torment. 'i'he|iie five brethern represent the five foolish virjiins, or the Laotli-
ceah oliuroh, or Itiem that are.twice dead, plucked up by the roots. Now if ihey will noV
believe the lime that has been preached from Moses and the Prophets, ihey will not be
persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Now to sliow-ihe foolish, see Mall. 25 : 2-3-
4.--« And five ofiliahi were wise, and five foolish. They that were foolish took their
lampa, and look no Oil with them ; but the wise took oil in their Vessels with their
Jamps." These virgins went forth in '43, the first lime; then there waaa tarrying time
tinmidnight. Which was at '44; then the separation to<»k place with the virgins about ihe
oil. This :>il is tliespirit of truth, which was to reprove the world of sin, |tnd of rigliteoua-
liessr,«iid of jodgmeiit. At '44it reproved ihe world of judgment. Ecc. 8: 5.— •*VVho-
•o keepeth the commandment shall fear no evil thing, and a wise man's heart discern*
eth bolh^ime and judgment " 1 Thes. 5: 4.— •« But ye, brelhren, are not in daiknesa,

•fraidr When the sixth seal ended, it ushered in that grenl day of wrath ; and now who
who Is able to stand, for the great dny of wrnlli i» come at '44. For the day of tife Lord
has come, as a snare, as he said il would oome, if tliey would not lake heedV
for Ihe wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wioked shall
understand. ^ But trie wise shall underntamh What was ihey to aiider-
eiand? It «va« Ihe time that; whs sworn |o in Ihe New and Ojl Testament, by the
Lord himself. When the Sciiplnres testify that we are to niiderstaiHi the lime, they say
thai wo are not. Now the quef*tion arises, il the saints «*ere lo jndfge the world, iind did
not know the lime, they woul.l be poar jiid;»rt-., or reapem; for it i<'wriltet'i the timei«
come for ihee lo reap. Now il a tanner had a fiehl of wheat lo harvosl, and dni not knovr
the time of harvert ha would be n poor reaper. It is Written that h^ would send his an-
gels lo gnlher his elect, fiom one part of heaven to ihe oilier;; tNsc ate the angels that
bavethe everlasling gospel la preach ; these were to go through the midst of heaven,
thai IS Ihrough the midst of the churches. We have ahundance pf evidence lo pioVe that
»43 and '44 was the lime thai Ihe earih was reapetl mice, by the len virgins that went
forth in '43 and »44. In the fii>t place take Mall. 26: 1 lo 10.-^*< Then shall Ihe king-
dom of heaven be like unto len virgins, thai went foith lo meet the bridegroom ; five of
them ware wise and five wera foolish. '» They went foilh in »43, Ihat was lire first timet
then there was a tarryinc lime iiir'44 ; tli«n behoM the bridegroom comes, .»o ye out to
meet him. This was fulfilled by a people caled Advents. It speaks of the same in Hab.
2: 2-3-4.— « And the Lonl answered me .'.nd said, write the vision and make it plaia
Vpon tables, that he may run that natlelh it ; Uyt the vision is yet for an appointed lime,
but at the eiHl it slit^ll speak, and iioi lie. Thouuh il tairy, wait for il ; bticause it will
■orely«onio; irwiM not tarry." There is no book that huth vision with appointed lime,
but the to<»k of Daniel, ami at the lime of ihe end it was lo be unseaieil. Amos 3 1 7 --
••Surely Ihe Lorddoelh nbthjng, but what he reveoleih his secrets unto his servania the
propliets; and It is wriiten the secret of the Lord is whh the righteous. Bui he hath
revealed Unio us by his spiril, for the spirit searches all things, yea the deep things of
goil. Ap<I he thai is spiritual jodges ail things, yet he hi-neelfis judged of no man' "
Thalip a man in his natural Mate j but lliesaints were not (u judge liefure the lime,—
till llie LortI come as bride^pora-this was fulfilled at »44. I Cor. 4: 6 — «Therefora
judge nothing before the tj^until the Lord come; who both will bring lo light th«

Question- How 19 he to come ? Firsi answer, as bridgroom. As he has sald,^lh«
kmj^lom of heaven is like unio a marriage which a king made for his son. Then la

' vhhM»ttb«w 36 1 there ia tarrying in both booka the aame. Now Peter said it would be
'better lor • man never to know the way of rlghteoosneas, than after ^e has known it,

' atyalhey were commanded to write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he
may ran that readeth it. Now this waa fatfil led at '43 and '44, which the vision spoke
tnddid notlie at'44. Waanotthis message of '43 and '44 with a load voice t It ww
* to him that aat on the oload. This oloqd represented the people and him that sat on it
' waa Christ. To prove thecluad, see Heb. 12: l.-y" Wherefore, seeing we also are oom-
ptised about with 80 great a oload of witnesses, let OS lay aside every weight and the

it was revealed by Qre ; aa it is written the. day will be rovealed by fire ; and the fiire
aball try every^man'a work what sort it is. That fire is no less than the Lord, when .he
oame as the bridegroom, or thespirit of troth. This is the morning alar that was to rise in
ear hearts, when he uppeared as bridegroom it '44 ; when the kingdom waa set up like a
srain of ifiuStard seed, or when he gave the little flock the kingdom. And now if^a man
M not oonverted as a little childii he can not enter the kingdom of heaven. Now if any
' man love this world the love of the Father is hot in him ; bat God haa chosen the poor
•r this world, bot rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom. iVe are eomanded to seek the/

i^ooble B.ecording to her works. Gott has remeinbered her, because (the ban not re-
<|neinbo^red Lot's wite, but becamecarnal; that ia trying to serve Go«i ami Mammon.
'TAglM^n they are trying toolimbupso>neo:hHr w.iy ; it is written the same la a thief and

I^ow we can see the sheep on his risht hand, and 4be goats on the: left. This is strong
mbat ; but strong meat is for them of lull age, or spiritual, or well instructed in the kjng-
;doin that is^now set up in the days of theHO kingi; for the jeaat that is now in the
^kingdorai is greater than John the Babtist. Now we see how many have been trying |o
. ;«ntei the kingdom, and are notable \ tor many were called at '44. but few chosen.
mN^w heaven is a pSaoe which God prepared at hiafintt advent, by the sacrifice of his
•SNiiionthi^ tree: utr he said ye are bought with a phcof therefore, glorify God in yoiir
bddy, and in y^ttr^lpirit, which areGo.i's. Eph. 2: 32.— '< In whom ye are builded tO'

!Mlf." Rom. 8 : 8-9-rt0*ll.— « So then they that are in the fiesh cannot pleaseGod. But ye
pre not ra the flesh, but in the spiiii. if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if
>«n^ man have not the spirit of ChriRt, he, is none of his,"
Rev. 14 : 16.—" And I saw another angel fly in the mid->t of heaven, having the ever-
lasting gospel to preach onio them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, aad
kindred, and tonsne. and people." Now it tells what the force of their gospel was. V
7.— "Saying with a loud voice, Fear Go<l, and give glory to him,"— for what?~<* tor
,tbe hour of bisjwigment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earthj, and
,the sea^ and the fountaina\ of waters." This chapter explains the Advent doctrine ifrom
'1831 to the resurrection. The cammehcement 6f this doctrine at ^43 came like as the
iroice of a great thunder, or amazemoiit to the churches of the world ; when '44 was
preached that was the fctifilling of the message of the angel, fly in the midst of heaven,
or ehqrehesj and it v^aA with a loud voice sur^-ly. Now we can say that the power of his
jndginent iaoome,and whooan stand before the bpirii and the bride ? Only them that
have get on the wedding garment. It is written that the man was speechless who hail
riioton the weddincr garment ; apd he was bonnd hand and foot and cast into outer dark-
nese. This is folfiiling ever since '44 by the foolish virgins, alter the door is shut, or the
•od of the gospel age. Now they are going aboni trying to boy oil ; that is going to the>
l^reat learned men, who understand Greek and Latin words. They have forgotten what
MWritten,'He takes the wise in fhSfr own craftinefts, and: again, he knows the thoughts
efthe wise that they are vain. 1 Cor. 1 : 26-37.— " For }l!9 see your calling, brethren,
(liow that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are
-galled : Bat God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to oonfbond the wise ; and
God bath chosenthe weak things of the world to oonfonnd the things which are mighty.'*
That he wonld take men that were not esteemed to briiig to nan»ht these great learned
.men, who think they ave something, when Ihey arejioihing. Now they are caught in a
• anare,aird what do they know? Why they don't know as much as the hish learned
men among th e J e ws, that no fl a sh sh o u l d glory in h ' s pr e sence. V 30.— « « But/of him

. iooK their lan(»p» and went forth to nieet the bridegroom< Five of ihem \*ero wii<e/and
fitre were foolish." This prophecy, or parablo of our Lord has been fulfilled by the Ad-
vents in every point that can be; andia a slake set that no man can move, although
htiw few thateun believe it. Just as it waa in the days of 5foah, so it is now. This
cHapler is all fuiOHed, except the 4181' and 46th versts* which will take place at the
ni^urrection of the just. Now .to shew how tin* has been fulfilled, can any Cne deny that
other bteiieve it not ; the one had oil in their vessels, the other had no oil. That ia no
spirit in their body j that id, all they know \i what they know naturally. V 4.—" But
the "rise took oil in their vessels wiih their lamps. VVnilo th«» bridegroom tarried they
allslumbered and slept. And at midnight there « as a cry maile, behold the bridegroom
cometh.goireoutlo meet him.'' Thia was the cry ilint wai* at '41, and this was the
midnight cry given to all churches, Ihe same as the cry of John the Baptist was given to the
w»8 the reasni) they look lamps ? Decanse ilm gospel a»(j had come to a pJose ; the
night that Peter had spoken of Kad come ; and I hat day of judgment had to take place at

wrilien therein : for the lime is, at hand. It is writieit, Blessed is the person that readcth
•nd heareth the words of his piopheoy; for what reaaon ? For the time is at hand. The
first three chapters of thii) boolc gives a history of the churches, from his first advent.,
to bis second : no.w, he that halh an ear l«t him hear what the spirit saith uiito the
ehurohes. We know that at his tirnt advent, there was but one'church in the apostle'i
day-; eo.then, to fulflll this prophecy, t hero must be more after iheirday. Some the
spirit that reproves all uf them, and that spirit is the Lord. Now, John snid he waa in
the spirit on the Lord's day.and he said he heard behind him as a voice of a sreat trum^
Set, and what did it say f Saying, <' I am Alpha and Ome^a.." Thia proves that
!hriBt was the fiiM and he is the last. Rev. 1 : IS.—'* Write the things which thou
hast seen, and the thin;i:s which are, and the things which fihall be hereafter." Ques-
lionr- What things that were to be hereafter ? Answer— « The mystery of the seven
•tars which thou sawest iti my right hand, and the se^en golden oandleslioks. The
•eveni stars ardthe angels of the seven churches : and the seven oandleslioks which thou
•awest, are the seven churches, and the things which shall be hereafter." Now we'
-will see whatthings are to be ppuken. hereui'ter. Rev. 22: 16.— <<L Jesus, have sent
nine angel to testify unto yon these things in ihe church, I am the root And the oflTsprtng
of David, a\iil the bright and morning stif." Now in this verse it is s&id that he would
send his sngel to testify to the church the things that condemn them. The seventeenth
Terse gives ns the chronology when we would testify these things to the churches. V 17.
''<And the spirit and the bride t<ay,com6. And let him that heareth say, comp. ; And
Jet him that is athirst, come : and whos.oever will, let hiin take the water of life freely."
This was fulfilled at '44, when he cameps the bridegroom. It is in verse sixteen he was
Ihe morning star. It i^j written th^i he who keeps my works unto the en J he shatl rule
Ihe naiions'with a rod of iron ; and I will give him the morning star. This is the star
that was spoken by 2 Peter 1 : 1 9* — " We fm ve a Uo a more sure word of prophQcy where- , -f
unto ye do well that ye take heed,a8 unto a light that shineth in a dark place,untii the day
. daiynk and the day star arise in your hearts." This day star is the iudge that Staudeta
•t the door. Rev. 3 : 20.— *Miehold I staind at the door,and knock : If any man hear ^
my voice, and open ttis door, I will come iii lo him, and will sup with him, and he with . •^^■
mej" This'vwas the mission of the argej that lie sent tc the church, to testify the. things %
■that have reached unto heaven. Rev. 14 : 6-7.— '* And I saw another angel fly in the .!
^nidst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that itwell on the
earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and longne, and people." The mission 6t this
j||Hngel, was, « Saying the hour of judgment is come." So if Ihe angel was lo testify the
, things to the churches, it seems to be more than one church ; so we will try to shew
• when the first church comntenced. Rev. 2:- 1.— V' Unto tjw angel of the church of
^phesis write : These things saith he ihitt holdeth the se«en stars in his right hand,
, Oibo waiketh in the.midf)tof the seven golden candlesticks." Who is it thatwatkA in
the churches, but Christ ? For proof, see £ph. 1: 20-32,— "Which he wrought in Chnsti
when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly
places. An4 hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be tt>e head over all
things to thechurch. Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all." So, then,
li is Christ that reprotes all churches of the sins tney areguiity ofin every age; and at
his coming he reproves all churches. For he has come, and all nations stand before
him, and he is separating them as a shephe^i divideth^is sheep from the goats, and he
sets the sheep on his right hand but the goats on the left. To shew that the churph of
]EphesoS wasthecharch in theapostle'jsday, see the second verse, *<1 know thy works
eind iahor« and thy patience, and how thou can'st not bear them whioh are evil; and
thoQ hast tried them whichsay they are apostles, and are not, and hfistfound them liars."
How many Paul met with, that were false brethien, and found them liars, so then he had
Wimething^gainst this church. The reason was, they had left their first tove:they
were eommanded to do the first work over, or else he woald cpme and remove the ^
chu rc h out of its place. And th e n it gofs on to the second ohurcb, which was Smyrna i
and this tfKurch had great tribqlaiion, distress of every kind» sawn asunder, persecuted,
ai|dpiut to death in a thousand difTerent ways ; and fear hone of those things that shall
come Mpon you, but be faithful onto death; and 1 will giycyou acrowR of life. When,
is that t At thatday when he comes with his reward to give onto every man ;.and
that )s at the door. Now every maathat bath an ear let him hear what the spirit saitli

And 1 will give him the mornin(r ptar. That was when he came as bridegroom at '44;
We have not room in this work to explain what oocht to be. He thut hath an ear, Jet
him hear what the spirit Aaith unto the ohurohes. Rev. 3: 1.— « And onto the angefof
the church in Sardis write, theoo things saith he that hath the seven spirits of God,andlh0
TOveli stars :,I know thy works, that thou ha«t a name ; that thou livesti and art dead.*'
The reason this church is dead iH, becauMO they are not found perfect before God.
This church was in the a;;^ that they might have had seven spirits, but thev refused thA -
> troth that they might be saved. This church was first established by John Wesley. Then
it was in u perfect state, but it soon became popular and proud, and began to climb ap
no manji^diHtireiit ways, that they became carnal, like the Corinthians in Paul's Jay^
Look back since lB31,and see how many splits there have been in the Methodist Churob;
that is the way they became dead— that is, in sin— for her sins have reached unto
hearen. V 3 snys *^ Remember, therefore, how thou hast received and heard, and hoidi
fast and repent. If, therefore, ihou shaltnot walch,l will come as a thief, and thou shalt
not know what hour r will come upon thee." NowAve see thay have not watched)
therefore, the day of the Lord has come as a snare upon all churches, forthe spirit re^
proves all. Now if any man climb np any other way but through the door, the same \n
« thief and a robber, L"^B^lV3't~35*36.—'< And lake heed to yourselves, leaifi at' any
time ]^our hearts be overcharged with siifferin!!, and drunkenness, and cares of this iife>
and so that day come upon you unawnres. For as a snare shall it come on ail them that
dwell ;ori the face of the whole eartli. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may
be accounted worthy to escape all these thing*! that shall come to pass, and to stand b»>
fore the son of man." Now this prophecy shews that it the churches took heed they
would; know the day, or watches that were given be the Sfaviour ; or if they were brethrett
of Paul, they would know the day, for he Maid, ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that
that diiy should uvertake you as a :hief. Now that day has come as a snare upon all tb«
earth.; Now we see thatitprovea that they have been drunken with the spirit of this
world ^; fof they that are drunken in the night. According to Rev. 3 : 1, they be cams
dead drunlc. See 1 Thes. 5: I to 7. It says that ha had no need to tell ns of the limef
or seslBohs, for we could know it without ; that we would know it perfectly ; that it,
would come as a thief iri the night. See how all the churches cried out peace and raf«ty{
now ive;know that sudden destraction is coniiin!; upon them, and they cannot escape.
^ _ Jtecailse they would not believethe preaching of '43 and '44, God has sent tbem strong
deluHJoh that they might believe a lie, and all 1)0 damned who believed not the truth,
that they might be saved. Now the mass of churches pretend they have got faith ; it
provels plainly that if they had faith, they wouki have known the time. For it is writ-
ten lit Heb. 11: 1.— "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
thingf not sieen." Now we can obtiain a good report. Rev. 3: 4.— « Thou hast a "few '
hamiEfi ill SardisAvhich have not defiled their garments; and tt|&^ shall walk with rne
. in «ih}te for they are worthy," So then there are a few to come out of this church. See ^
tiQW trite this has been fulfilled by the Advehi doctrine since '43. and '44^ There were
>ipmeithat came out of all the churches; then was fulfilled this prophecy, fbr^many
were balled^ but fe\V chosen. When the Sardis church became divided, they becante
«B Babylon. Now is fulfilled Rev. 18 : 2. At '43 the earth was enlightened with hie
i -glory J then at, '44 the m es sage was cried mightily^, with a strong voice, sayjiigPabyton
the great is fallen^ is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of foal
ep'rits, and a cage of every unclean and hatefiil bird. Now we are to say, come oiiloC
her, my people, that ye be not partakerf<of her ains; for her sins have reached unto
heaven, andf God hath remembered her iniquities. See how this church hath glorified
' ° beraelf^ and liveddeTiciously. So much torment and sorrow give het ; for she stiith ia

Heb. 12: ^7-8. Here Paul speaks the came asm Hev. 3 : 18. •♦J'or whom the Lord
loveth hechasteiieih, and scourgelh every son whom l»e rpceivith. If ye endure chas-
tening, Go«l <lealelli with you as wilh wins ; for what ^M^ is he whom the father chasten-
ethiiot? But if ye be without ohwOisemonl, whereof all are partakers, then «'• y«
bastards and not sons » Now we see many Advents that say they are Jo*"* ««?»;• .
not, but do lie : for tlltey should be Jews luVardly, and their oircumeisirtn that ot the
heart. Prov. 2: 7.— ♦« He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous; he is a bocmer to
them that walk uprightly. Ho keepeth the paihs of >oilgment, and preserveth the way^
of his saints. Then shall tlioo onderatatid righteousness, andpidgment, and equity , Jtu
every gootl palh.»' Ch. 1: 35-26.-" Bol ye have set at naitghj a) J my counsel, and
would none of my reproof. I will also laogh at your calam.ty ; I will mock when yoor
fear cometh. Then shall they call open me. but I will not answer ; they shall seek me
aarly, but they shall not find me." Pro/. 15: 23.-" A man hath loy by the answer of .
,hi8 mouth; and a word spoken in diw season, how good it is." ,V**^-,-*^ **"„ Ir?.
wicked flee when no man pursaeth j but the righteous are bold as a Jion." ^ f-^-l JS
men understun.l not iudamenl; but they that seek the Lord nr.derstami all things.
Matt. 10: 27-40.-" What I tell ye in darkness, that speak ye in licht; and whal ye
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the house-tops." This is what is meant by Paul,
Judge nothing before thetlme, until the Lord come, who both will br^ng to ''fibMbp liid-
denlhings of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the heart : and theirehall
a«ery mail have praise of God. The house-tops ineHns that eyerylhina i»ma.le pJttin to
und/rsiand. He that taketh hold ol the plow and looketh back, ts not fit for the k«ng»^om.
That has been the way with our Advent brelhreii since '44, for they deny what they have
preached, and look back like Lot's wife. Luke 9: 60.-" JeMis SHith unto htm. Let t.ie
dead bury iheirdead ; but no thou and preach the king<lom of God." As the Jews were
spiritually dead, soars the Gentiles dead also ; for by their traditions they have nrode the
word of God oPnoefTeot. Malt. 12: 36-37.-" Bui I wy unto jou, thai every idle word
that men shall speak, they shall give account tliereol in the day of Judgment. *oroy
thy words thou shall bo iiwtified, and by thy words thou shall be condemned. As itis
written in another place, Thou slothful servant, I will judge you out of your ownmouth j
sows see that a mart can be justified by his own month, or condemned ; foront of the full-
ness ol the heart the moulhepeaketh* 1 Peter 3 : 10 to 16.-" For he that will love lile
and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from eviU and his lips that they apeak no
aoilo J Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursiie it. But and
if yaeutfer for righteousness -sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, nei-
ther bo troubled. Bui sanctify 'the Lord Go«l in your hearts; and be always ready to give
jm answer toovory man thai asketh you a reason of the hope that is jn you with meek-
ness and fear.'* Now It is written mat this hope is to be in us, which is Christ m us the
hope of salvation ; and Paul has sani he w the aoihor and finisher of our faith. As h*
has been the author of our faith, now wo can look up, and lift op our heads and itnoj|
that our redemption draweth nigh } that is, he will finish it. We are not ashamed of m
Gdspe! of Christ, for il is the power of God unto salvation. In the first place we beliete
that Chri s t is now t he tru e God a nd eterna l l ife j that he is not the likeness of any t hing>

ia the last half ut tho gospel. Juinos and Paul explain it in two other ways, Janfiet
called It the eurly and laiter rain ; he tellif us that we would get the latter rain at the
coming of tho f^prd, as tho bridegroom. Now Paul explains the gospel in Kom. 1 : 16-'
17-18. He tells us that iho gospel was the Power of God, and ho # it was to be revealed,
from faith to fuilh ; that is two faiths, and thai tho last faith would reveal the wrath of
God, what ungodly men would hold unrighteousness. Now wo see that the Lord gare
Peter the kHVH of heaven jl iliut is the knowiod^'o of the gospel to the Jews (irt>t, and
then to tne Gentiles. Ttien^ as John was ttie boloved disciple, ho was to tarry till he

one; this shows that the third dispensation needs but one key, or the bridegroom, that
IB what Wesley said, Christ himself the key." Heb. 2: 28.— « Now, little children,-
•bide in him, that, when he shall appear, yon may have confulenbe, and not be asham-
ed before him at his corning." Now this proves that he is to appear before he comes at
the resurreotion. 2 Tim. 4: 1.— " I charge thee, therefore, before God and the Lord
Jesus Chri4|/who shall judge the quick and the deal at his appearing and his King-
dom." No one can deny but what he is|lo appear before the kingdom is set up, then the
Lqrd said, the least in the kingdom would be greater than John the Baptist. All wilt
admit that John wai* a forerunner of hia iir^l advent; then the least in the kingdoin
