Definite Time.

THE World's Crisis, and the Voice of the West, have both advocated the definite year of 1868 for the coming of the Lord. They have of late very quietly and coolly ceased the advocacy of that time. How shall we account for this procedure? If the time is correct, why are they not advocating it with all their energy? And the more so as it is nearly closed, and the danger to the careless world imminent. This was not the case in 1844—the warning increased in power as the close of the time approached. Have they real confidence in their position? If it is not correct, having once committed themselves to it, why do they not come out frankly and acknowledge their error?
