Review of Shearer's Sermon on the Millennium

Some friend has kindly sent us a pamphlet entitled, “A Sermon on the Millennium, by F. A. Shearer, D. D., of Aledo, Ill.” It has considerable to say about the Adventists; but as the views it combats are not the ones we hold, it requires no reply from us. As a specimen of its consistency we notice it takes the ground that the reign of Christ during the millennium will be a spiritual reign by means of the Holy Ghost; but the Holy Ghost is already here as Christ’s representative; yet the last sentence in the book is, “Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly.”
