"Objections to tho Christian Church"
will bo tho subjcot Tuesday evening
In tho rovlval now in progress at the
First Christian church
Thero wa a number of special fea-
tures In connection with tho revival
last evening. Thero was an Unusual! v
largo Monday night crowd which
greeted tho Evangelist- Chairs wore
used In tho aisle find thP balcony
was comfortably filled. Tho congro-
gational singing led by Associate Min-
ister A. L. Haley was exceptionally
good. People sang all over tho house.
Tho orchostra played during tho offor-
Ing. Mr. Haley sang "Sweet Galilee'
and drew n most bottutlful ploturo Il-
lustrating tho song.
Dr. Thompson spoko On the "Sec-
ond Coming of Christ" Ho said In part
"TI1I3 H an important question and
ono that interests a great many peo-
ple. You aro wanting to know If Ho
H really eonilng again. Some argue
that Ho has been on earth onrn and
will not come again. You do not caro
to know What I think about this
question or the opinion of any other
man but you would llko to know what
God's Word says about It. In Matt.
16:27 Wo read: 'For tho Son of Man
shall como in tho Glory of His Fath-
er with His Angols; and Ho shall j-c-ward
every man according to his
works' Matt 26 :C 'Horeattor shall
yo seo tho Son of Man flitting on tho
bight hand of powor artd coming In
tho clouds Of Heaven.' Luko 18:8 '1
tell you ho will avongo them speedily
Nevertheless whort tho Son of man
comcth oh nil Ho find faith on tho
earth' Jno 14r3 'And If I go and
prepare a placo for yoy I will come
again and receive yon unto mysolf.
that whern I am thoro yo may bo

ahd two men stood by In white an-
parel; 'which also said. Why stand yo
gazing up Into HcaVon this samo Jes-
us which is takep up from you Into
Horn on shall so como in llko manner
a yo havo seen Him h Into Heaven.'
In tho Now Testament thqro ar at
loast 40 references to tho second com-
ing of Christ. But it Is to bo rcniom-
beied that when ho comes tho second
time Ho wjlf como as a judge and not
n n Srivirtlif."
JWlicn Ii Ho Coming?
"aiany aro anxlou to know when
he lifcomlng. Cortaln religious sects
ytfvb from tlmo to tlmo sot th ex
act uay jor mo coming or tne Lord
and tho end of tho world but they
havo missed their guess. Tho Bible
tolh us that not evert tho angols In
Heaven know when the Son of Man
shall come. If wo know just when Ho
was coining Wo Avould Wait till just
before he camp to get ready- But slnco
wo do hot know It behoves u to be
ready at all tjmes
"What aro tho signs of His coming?
Wnrs Pestilences Famines tho Gos-
pel jireached to all the nations ahd
other things Will indlcato that tho
tlmo Is drawing high. Also thero will
b a fulling aWay and ahtl-Chrlst will
como to docolvo tho people. Many of
theso things havo com to pass and
nj-a coming to pass. Tho Lord Jesus
mdy como tonight for all I know and
It may bo a million years. But I want
to try 'to bo ready at all times."
Ther was a baptismal sorvlco at
tho close whon tho Pastor W. O.
DallaH buried 12 with thoir Lord in
Christian Baptism whllo Dr. Thomp-
son quoted tho Bcrlptuea on baptism
and commonted on th same.
This evening tho Evangollst will
speak on "Objections to tho Christian
Church." Many who aro vitally inter-
ested In tho mooting will bo anxious
