way of interpretation. Neit I desire
to notice further the words of Christ to
his disciples, as recorded in Muttbew
24th. The 1.1th. Terse, in construction,
most naturally seems to associate events
that are named in the 34th. verse with
those named in versos from the 6th. to
thelltb. It reads 'When ye there
fare shall see the abomination of deso
lation spoken of by Daniel, the prophet,
tand In the holy place, whose readeth,
let him understand." ''When ye there
fore" the obvious sense lr, when, by
reaoa of.referrlng to the things ho had
named, An intelligent version of
where to place the ovonts named in
Matt, 24: 5-13 Is found in Mark 13:
8-13. The language "Hut take hood
to yourselves for thoy shall deliver you
up t) councils and in tho synagogues je
hall b beaten" eto, fixes the time of
the happcnlngof thoevents enumerated
It Is now past the time of pjsslbllity of
uohatblngai arraigning Christians
bo'ore the Jewish synagogues. The
possibility lusted but a fow years, but
It was taken advantage of as long as it
ild lait, according to prediction. No
tlce, that thrown In here (vorse 10) lr
"And the gospel must li st be published
among all nations." Then, to guard
against any cbtneo for spooulatlve
theorizing. The next vetse is begun
with a connective word, and the lan
ffuage so framed as to make it Impossl
ble to understand the intention of the
prophesy. Soel Mat whtn they shall
lead you and doliver you up not some
cthor disciples or christians of two
thousand years benco from that time,
but those to whom he addressed the
words.
wot forgetting the importance of
guarding against the possibility of mis
take with roferenoo to the time he em
ploys a word expressive of when. "Now
the brothor shall botray the brothor to
death; and the father the son, and
children shall rise up against tholr
parenta and shall cause them to be put
to death. And ye (FJIs then proicnt dis
ciples) shall be hated of all men for my
name's sake, but he of you mydlncl
plea to whom I speak-that shall en
dure to the end the same shall be saved"
In connoctlon, next, similar to the
mannor in which Matthew has related
the surrounding of Jerusalem by the
Roman army, is Mark's arrangement.
He says "But when ye see the abomi
nation of desolation spoken of by Daniel
the prophet standing where it ought
no, (let him that roadeth understand
then let them that be In Judea flee to
the m ountalns." A critical com par
lson of the two chroniclers, it seems to
mo, can have but one result, and that
is to convince tbo Dlble student that
Christ mant to fix and fasten the im
preasion that all of the events named

Bd read from IhU to the end of the
chapter, Firs', It w ll hi n"l ecu, that
the I'harlm ei go to J us with a ques
tion concerning the tlrnx of the felting
upof(id's kingdom. We should no
tice also, as the next thing In Immrt
ance, that the question of the I'narUeri
Is understood by Christ to mean the
day, or roe of the dajs, of the Son o'
man. See 22 d verro In the 24th
verse tne day ti tne son ni man
must be understood. It rends " in
bis day". The 2.rAh. verse has an im
portant hearing on the question of
the time when. It is, "liJt Crst must
he suffer many things and be r jocted
of this generation." Why not mention
of many generations, cr, of as many as
there were to be up to the present.
8lmply for the reason tviat bis day, I e:
Ills coming, being a fact to take place
within that generation Thus it was
that it was only that genera' Ion that
could reji.'ct him prior to the event.
Nothing could be plalnor. Next notice
that the 23rd. verso is purpoely con
structed with the view of confounding
the event of Christ's day, as here spok
en of, with it as named in Matt. 24th.
Compare with Matt 23 20:23 and there
1 no escaping the force of this claim.
The 31., !!.., 30. and 37th. venes,
when compared with Matt. 21: 25:2
r'ld 40, 41, furnliihrs great lltfbt on the
uSjre. I think IJIble students gener
ally agree that tbo word "For where
soever the carcare it there will the
eagles bo gathered t ogether" refers to
the time when the lloman army sur
rounded Jerusalem, tho old carcancs.
Now lot us suppone that the day In
which the 8 jn of man Is to bo rcvoalcd,
as named in Luke 17:10, is the day
commonly understood as the final mo
ment of this world's history, the day of
general .judgment, or the day when
Christ comes to take to himself bis re
deemed. Of what significance Is the
charge not to come down from the
housetop, nor to return from the field.
In such a case what would a man bo
supposed to want of his coat, or bis
household goods. And further, if a
man is ready up to the day of Christ's
Coming, will there still be achanoo to
share tho fate of Lot's wife?

The oppressed pooples of thosn IsUnds
will biers tho name of William McKln
ley forever If ho confers on them the
precious gift of American liberty, with
all that that implies.
The F.nglUh speech Is the languHge
of liberty, and wherever It is spoken
there I the home of self-government,
political and rcliglotH freedom. The

Iluoent events In tho F.at make It ev
ident that only an F.ngllsb-spcaklng na
lion can secure untrammeled freedom
of trade and progressive political liber
ty in tho Orient, It Is to our interest
to have absolulo freedom of trsde In
Asia. Continental Kuropo Is oppotcil
to this. We can best secure It by mak
ing tho rich Philippine Islands an
American colony and working in bur
mony with Kngland, our natural friend
and ally.
It Is nearly a hundred year slnuu
Thomas Jefferson purchased from Na
poleon the vait Louisiana territory
That act alune secured for hlra the
everlasting gratitude of the nation. It
Is fifty ytars since the Mexican war
was waged, rightly or wrongly, and
another vast area of territory was ad
ded to our domain. Not even a puling
mugwump would say today that we did
not do wisely and well. A hundred
years benco this na'lon will have
population of over 300,000,000, with
probably 30,000,000 Canadians added to
thata population equal to that ol
China today.
It rests with William McKlnley
whether those millions shall revere bis
memory even as we revere the memory
of Thomas Jefferson for his wise and
bold statesmanship In seourlng tho tor
rltorlal expansion of hlscountry, This
nation must in years to come have H
coaling stations, trading posts, and
strategotlcal strongholds all over the
globe, even as England, The com
meroo of a nation, destined to bo the
strongest in the world, numbering
hundreds of millions of eitcrprlslng
population, makes this imperative. If
those points of vantage cannot be se
cured peaceably they will bo taken at
the cannon's mouth. What folly, then,
to put aside that which is in our po
sosslon today when we may have to
fight for it in the yi a-s to come.
It is 250 years ago since the great
Cromwell started England on its mighty
career of conquest and civilization, still

the Nleuwe Kerk, although It (biles

century. Wllhelmlna Is a good, able,
and personally attractive young
woman, and the sturdy Hutch people
regard her with great affection, The
coronation celebrations have wrought
up the phlegmatic Hollanders to about
as near excitement as they ever get.
Tho oath of office which the young
Queen took Is as follows:
"I swear to the Hutch people that 1
