His Coming Is Near.

By Editor

The Kansas City Star of October 4, this present year, in a despatch from Denver, declares that twelve different clergymen, representing the Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist, and Congregational denominations, unitedly declare that Christ will return to earth in this generation, and that His coming may be expected at any moment or hour, as prophesied in the Scriptures, and that October 6 these clergymen were to preach upon that subject. It is declared that sin is rampant in the world, vice is increasing, the world is becoming more wicked instead of better. That the prophecies of Christ's second advent mentioned in the Bible have come to pass is ascribed as the cause of the approaching return of Christ. Now according to this report, it seems that the good brethren are looking upon some things in an exaggerated light. There are certain things that must yet come to pass before the Lord comes, but they are right in declaring that the coming of the Lord is near. This is what the SIGNS OF THE TIMES has been declaring for more than thirty years, and it is abundantly sustained by the Word of God, and by the fulfilment of that Word in numerous signs and omens.
