"The Hope of the Church."—In the sixth volume of "The Fundamentals," the Rev. John Nicoll, B.A., D.D., principal of the Toronto Bible Training School, truly says that the apostles never speak of death as "something to prepare for," "nor is heaven set forth as the Christian's hope," nor is "the conversion of the world" "the object of the Christian's hope," but that "the hope of the church" "is the personal return of her Lord." This, he declares, was taught by Christ to His apostles, the apostles taught it to their converts; the whole life and work of the New Testament church has the coming of the Lord in view; the New Testament grace of hope rests upon that coming, redemption is not complete until that event, and in that hope are bound up some of the most important truths of the Scripture. All these positions are abundantly fortified with Bible evidence, as our readers would expect, because the Bible is filled with the doctrine of Christ's second coming and its meaning. If the church but appreciated it now, it would be a different church.
