These during the present time gain a certain amount of experience with sin and death, and learn a nart“ of a very important lesson, viz., the exceéding sinfulness of sin and its | undesirability. As soon as the Lord's | time shall come, which we believe is | not far distant, he will fulfil his promise and establish his kingdom in the world, which will bind Satan, restrain all the powers and influences now working toward sin and death, and cause the knowledge of the Lord to fill the whole earth. Thus Christ will bless the human family and lift it up, step by step, toward the grand perfection in which it was created-— in the image of God as represented | period of | in father Adam. This blessing is called the millennial kingdom, and it was for that the Lord taught us to pray, “Thy king- as it is done in heaven.” It will re- quire all of the thousand year-day of righteousness on a firm basis in the Iearth, and to test the world of man- kind—to ascertain who of mankind, | by obedience to Christ, may be ac- counted worthy of eternal life, and who under full knowledge, bhecause of preference for sin, will be sen- tenced to the second death-——“ever- lasting destruction from the pres- or as natural law would do it, fl"“zw-mh'(l up to heaven, save he that that's the only way to save civiliza- came down from heaven, even the tion from the inherent barbarism of | gon of Man.” The Bible agrees from men. . ,m-sf to last that “‘the dead know nct —Q—————— [anything” (Ecel, 9:5) and that The death of J.
