Bishop Merrill on the Advent.

By Editor

The article in this number on Christ's Coming at the Resurrection, from Bishop Merrill's book, is a sound argument. He yields too much at the commencement, however, impliedly contrasting the testimony of Matt. 13 with "those passages which connect these two events together by positive statement." What is said in Matt. 13 about the harvest, the end of the world, the sending of the angels to gather the elect, is not a parable, but it is Christ's explanation of a parable. Nothing can be more positive and plain than these words, so perfectly in agreement with all the other scriptures on this important subject.
