Coming Events.

A WRITER in the Christian Advocate and Journal speaks of coming events thus:

"That we are on the eve of great events, that we are even now moving close up to the world's great crisis, is the general, if not the universal, belief. Like the signs that presaged the coming of Christ; like the wonders that heralded the downfall of Jerusalem; so the signs of these times, wars and rumors of wars, perplexity of nations, and men's hearts failing them for fear, are the ascending dust of the world's gathering squadrons for the decisive conflict. Debates in Congress, and Parliament, and Chambers; insurrections in the Ottoman Empire and Greece; the upheaval of society in Russia; the Italian difficulties; the discontent of Hungary and of Poland; the dissensions of Germany; the unrest of France, and Spain, and England; the tramp of foreign mercenaries in Mexico, and the rage of civil conflict and the boom of cannon on our own shores, are voices in the advance, shouting on the hosts of the whole earth to the final battle of the day of God Almighty.

"Again. The mutterings of the coming crisis swell from all lands. For that earthquake, great and mighty, the way is even now being prepared. Already the earth quivers to the shock, and thrones and dynasties are trembling to their final fall.
