WASHINGTON, D. €, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 197" IBISHOP TO MAKE REPORT ON GHOIGE Right Rev. L. C. Sanford of California Will Tell Conven- tion of Work in Orient. Armed with first-hand facts with regard to the situation in China, Right Rev. Louis Childs Sanford, Missionary Bishop of San Joaquin, Calif., will represent that district at the forty- ninth triennial general convention of the Episcopal Church, which will as- semble here October 10. With John W. Wood, executive sec- retary of the department of missions of the church, Bishop Sanford recently went to China, where he and Dr. Wood traveled widely through the revolution- ary area and made an exhaustive study of conditions. They will make a com- plete report on China to the conven- tion, in which the future of the church in the Orient will be one of the fore- most topics discussed. Bishop Sanford is a member of the national council {of the church. Another noteworthy figure in the House of Bishops at_the convention will be Right Rev. Frederick Focke Reese of the Diocese of Georgia. Born in Baltimore, of a family which settled there in 1719, he graduated from the University of Virginia and Berkeley Divinity School. His entire life has been spent in the service of the church in the South. He was elected Bishop of Georgia in 1908. Bishop Reese is a member of the natlonal ccuncil of the church, representing the province of Sewanee. A member of the natfonal council representing the province of New Eng- land, and Bishop of Rhode Island, Right Rev. James Dc Wolf Perry will be among the outstanding representa- tives of New England in the con- vention. Bishop Perry also is chair- man of the executive committee of the Army and Navy commission of the church. He was one of the organizers of the World War commission of the Episcopal Church, under which he saw active service abroad during the war. The growing activities of distin- guished laymen in church work will be illustrated in the presence at the trien- nial general convention in Washington next October of three men of large interests who find time, nevertheless, for important effort in the religious field. In the New York delegation in the house of® deputies at the convention, for instance, will be George W. Wick- ersham, Attorney General in the cab- inet of President Taft. Sitting beside him will be Samuel Thorne, former assistant district attorney of New York, now engaged in private practice, but active in New York Diocese, as well as in national church affalrs. Mr. Thorne was one of the leaders in the bishops’ crusade of the church two years ago and, with Mr. Wickersham, is now engaged in promoting the endow- ment fund for St. Luke’s International Hospital, Tokio, conducted *in _the Japanese capital by the church. Both Mr. Wickersham and Mr. Thorne have been unusually large contributors to the work of the church. A third layman who will be present at the convention, though not as a delegate, will be Dr. Larkin W. Glaze- brook of Washington, who a year ago abandoned a large medical practice in Washington to devote all his time and energy to the position of field repre- sentative of the national commission on evangelism, a post whichl was created for him in ‘order that the church might have the benefit of the striking appeals to men which Dr. Glazebrook is making at laymen’s gath- erings in all parts of the country. —_— PLANS SPECI;L SERMON.

Prayer meeting Thursd: e " Address Box 274-B, Star Office CHRIST COMING IN THIS GENERATION Evangelist MacNeil Says Inventive Genius Indicates End of Age ‘Sigm in Sun, Moon, and Stars Also Give Awful Warning “Mankind stands today on the borders of eternity. Men and women now living on the earth will sde Jesus Christ coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory.” So spoke Evangelist John ‘MacNeil in his discourse on the second coming of Christ at the gospel tent, North Capitol and D streets northwest, last night. “The Bible is filled with precious prophecies indicating that this is the last generation.” He continued, “A flood of light is streaming upon the world, a last warning message is pleading with the earth’s inhabitants to flee from the wrath to come. Signs in the sun, moon, and stars, the distress of nations, perplexed because of the unsettled conditions; strikes, pestilences, famines, earthquakes, and thousands of other situations warn in trumpet tones of the coming day of retribution.” Evangelist MacNeil spoke of the great increase in knowledge as another sign that Christ's return is near. “There has been an increase of knowledge in the scientific world, in the intellectual world, in the mechanical world. in the physical world, as well as in the religious world. The great inventions of modern things such as the steam and electrical railways, telegraphs, telephones, photographs, linotypes, motion pictures, airplanes, wireless, the wonders of anaesthetics'and X-rays and the hun- dreds of modern {nventions portray to us the solemn fact that the day of Jesus Christ hasteth greatly. “Every possible effort is being made by a loving God to warn the earth of this coming day of vengeance. The prophetic word, God's great alarm clock, has never failed to ring on time to prepare the sleepers for the coming of Christ. The alarm is now being sounded in all the world. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain. Let the inhabitants of the earth tremble for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is near at hand’ God's representatives today should be the alarm- ists with a startling message, for the world is asleep and not prepared for the day of God. “It was a short time before His crucifixion that the apostles asked Christ the question, ‘What shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?’ Looking into the future with prophetic vision, Christ spoke of a time of great tribulation for His church, ‘such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” He added, ‘Except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” For 1,260 years, from 538 to 1798, the period was to extend. But Christ sald it would be shortened. History records that the last martyr was killed in 1776. However, during that long period known as the Dark Ages one hundred million Christians were destroyed. “Mark xiil.24 records that in this conversation between Christ and the apostles, mentioned in Matthew 24, Christ said that ‘In those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light” Thus He pointed out definitely that the darkening of,the sun and moon would be between 1776 and 1798. History shows this event to have taken place May 19, 1780. “Concerning_this memorable occurrence ‘Our First Century, Great and Memorable Events’ by R. M. Devens, says on page 89: ‘Almost, if not altogether alone, as the most mysterious and as yet unexplained phenomenon of its kind, in nature’s diversified range of events, during the last century, stands the Dark Day of May 19, 1780, a most unaccount- able darkening of the whole visible: heavens and atmosphere in New England, which brought intense alarm and distress to multitudes of minds, as well as dismay to the brute creation, the fowls fleeing bewildered to t;llell;' m and the birds to their nests, and the cattle returning to their s “Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary,” edition of 1869, says, “The true cause of this remarkable phenomenon is not known.” “Our Pirst Century” says on page 94 that on the following night, although the moon was in the full, “A sheet of white glper held within few inches of the eyes was equally invisible with the blackest velvet.” That this darkness was not caused by an eclipse, is manifest by the various positions of the planetary bodies at that time; for the moon was more than 150 degrees from the sun all that day.” ‘The next event Christ predicted as a sign was that the stars should fall from heaven “As a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.” This wonderful event occurred November 13, 1833. In volume 3, page 113, of Thomas Dick’s Works, we read of the stars on that night that “They fell thick as the flakes of the early snows of December. The whole heavens seemed in motion and never before mh!lfl hl: g'-uen to our lot to observe a phenomenon so magnificent and e Of those who saw these signs, Christ said that they would not all die until He should come. Persons now are living who saw these signs, but they are white-haired. Some of them will be living when He appears. We live today in the time between the fulfillment of the last sign given by Christ and the momentous event which these omens foreshadow. The unmistakable signs have come to pass, harmonizing with Christ's predic- tions in the minutest details, and we cannot doubt that the entire prophecy will meet its complete fulfillment. The subjects for the remainder of the week follow: Tuesday—IMMORTALITY. Where is the spirit from death to the resurrection? Wednesday— ‘THE EXACT LOCATION OF HELL. Are heaven and hell within talking distance of each other? Friday—MILLENNIUM. ‘Will the present peace plans help to usher in the 1,000 years of peace You and your friends are cordially invited to attend the free lec- tures on hulzr to be given every evening the sermon, physiclans, nurses and dietitians. it by Good old-fashioned song_service Evangelist MacNeil will cheerfull; subjects to all who will communicat 2392, or he can be addressed by mail at the tent. preceding lecture. give free literature on all Biblical with him, His phone is Shep.
