The coming of the greatest msj tie world must be the CROWNING FACT of the centurle. tb capttone Of the immovable pyramid of facts. Concerning tb! coming man, w Wish to present just here the statement of on of Amerk-a' greatest student of fact living in this waning eeot wry, Profeeeor C, A. L, Totten. To aim os of bis subscriber sent tbo following euery: A subscriber (I, P, P.) asks ns what thick of a eertaiji book that has tea written to prove that "the ChrW ha come" already; for Instance, at the tall of Jerusalem? Prof. Totten mad answer a fol lows: W have never seen the volume re ferred to nd could And little time for aad so hi rurt in It perns!, save a a natter of study, so as to reconnoitre its argument for tb purpose of pro tecting others from their persuasion should there eeetn to be any special need thereof. We are satisfied that v should reject it authority on prin ciple. We are quit familiar with the eontentioa that tb second advent oc curred at tb fall of Jerusalem, but the Chronology of Prophecy defee-t K a! along an endless number of !laee, each of which wits no break In Its oocticultr is still running to a com "taoa focus In oar own immediate fu GREATEST MAN. to t tic Greatest. ture! There Is no historical record of such an event, th second advent Is more stupendous than the A rat h It scriptural prominence and results, and It Is absolutely Impoaalbl that It can hav taken place without th concur renc of all of It predicted concomi tants. It cannot be true no matter who wrote th book. W would have no right to believe th testimony of an angel even, to this effect (Gal. t, 1 I. Every eye could not hav seen the re turning Jesus and th record there of the last He could not have appeared a the light that shlneth from the east unto the went and not be seen ly all. lis the devil ever been bound 1,000 years? There Is no need of a book to prove that he has not been, nor of one to prove that he Is still most successfully at work. Israel hns never been restored, the Jews hav never looked upon him whom they pierced, nor mourned by detail, and then finally accepted him, etc.. In definitely throughout the entire New Testament W have no us for "theo ries" In these premises, and even leis us for eiposltlons that undervalue and slight th entire concert of the Scripture. To us th contention is a parallel to that on which St Paul o ably met and defeatad In II. Thess. I., II., ilk Th proper understanding of thl a w hav shown in a former leaflet (LXXXI.-III. pp. 7S-S) ia that "tb day of Christ" could not then hav been at hand because th "man of aln" bad not been "rvaled." II was not revealed until th 7th century (600-700 A. D.), and as bis leas of power wa to be for 1200 year (Dan. vli. 2&) we, only, at last, hav, at a dat which satisfies and Intensifies on any and all of th "conditions," a well grounded conviction that Now "the day of Christ" is and must b close at hand! In view, then, of th par ticular car taken by God to "provide sufficient and authentic testimony as to th "fulfillment" of all tb predic tion looking toward th first advent, It Is absolutely erratic to suppose that an event so superlatively more Im portant a th second advent could have occurred and mad no stir, found no on to record it incident, and that Its truth has been left concealed so as to be accidentally discovered 1800 year later! There I much bet ter proof as to the loss of Atlantis than this, and we would hav quit as much ground on which to contend that the physical world Itself was destroyed by Titus as to suppose that this hiatus between the consummation of prephecy and the evidence of Its fulfillment; and this lapse of system as to tb phil osophy of proof had occurred. Th law of continuity I involved in th following sequence: Prophecy Ful fillmentHistory and this Is broken by tb contention. W reject It. Until THEORIES can undo FACTS, th abov answer will stand Arm; and th world continue looking for the "coming man." THE CHRIST at His second advent FRANK E. HARRINGTON. Denver, TESTIMONIAL TO FATHER CHI NIQUY. Tb death of Gladston ha removed from th active scene of life a greet personality, a man of power who has served bis country nobly and faith fully. It Is always with regret that the friends of liberty and progress wltncns tb removal of these bright lights from a world In wblcb tbey shone n brightly. In the religious sphere there remains a man of th sum generation, whom God in HI providence has used tr accomplish a unique work in th fur therance of the Gospel among the It man Catholic of Canada and the United State as well as ia many other par's of th world.

He I now completing a ne book, "Forty years in tb Church of Christ," He preacbe from time to time and still draw Urge crowds of bis countrymen eager to bear him. It is thought that a large number of his friends and admirers In Europe and America would consider It a priv ilege to have an opportunity of con tributing to a Testimonial to be pre sented to thl hero of Protestanlsm ,u tb occasion of his POth birthday.
