Abbott— Three Periods to Judgment. Evangelist F. L. Abbott his ae.cun! lnmt;la Y. M. C. A. hall Sun- y eveni by quoting Acts 17:31, “God hath appointed a day in which e will judge the world.” “We are not left in darkness as to the time of the judgment,” said Mr. Abbott. “He has revealed the time of the judgment day to the prophets. In Paul's day the Jjudgment was yet future. But in Rev. 14: 6-7, we read, ‘The hour of His judgment is come.’ - “In the service of the earthly sanc- ing of the heavenly sanctu 8:14, says, ‘Unto 2300 days, the sanétuary be cleansed.” The end- ing of this long period of time was %rov.d conclusively in the lecture last 'hi 'W fi‘:"‘:fl ‘may b& Mfllfl lnf.o Periods; the juflllnen! the - jhd‘mm of the cked, and the exscutive judgment; T e order given. The mvuunnve Juament precedes the coming of Christ. Tt began in 1844 and will con- tinue until his_coming. ~Daniel was given a view of this ‘u ent scene. He_ saw that the judg-man was set and the books were open: “It is the most solemn fime In tbe history of the world. During the in- vestigative judsment it 15 to be de- cided who will take part in the first resurrection, and who of thése lving when Christ comes are y of translation.” ‘Mr. Abbott then gave a description of the court scene in heaven. “The book of life, containing the ‘names of all those who have ever ac- cepted Christ is open. God himself is the judge. Thousands of angels, the very ones who ministered to us here, are the witnesses. Christ is the law- yer. ‘For we have an advoctate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.’ There is also the jury, composed of those raised from the dead at Christ's resurrection. Paul records the trafns- lation of these, and they will be pres- ent at the investigative judgment. The judgment has been in session for over 70 years. We each have a case pend- ing in heaven above. Soon, if not al- ready, our cases will be taken up for investigation. It is a most solemn thought. “The judgment of the wicked is next in order, and begins after Christ's sec- ond coming. Judgment is given to the saints during the thousand years, when Satan is bound on this earth, and the wicked are dead. Rev. 20:4. The saints not only j]uflcl\! thelwxorld or. “The rest of the dead live not again until the thousand years are finished. As the wicked are brought to life at the end of the thousand years, filled with hatred, and inspired by Satan, they rush against the holy city, the New Jerusalem, which will then have descended from God out of heaven. Now occurs the executive judgment. ‘Fire comes down from God out of heaven and devours them.’ Thus is judgment executed.” It was announced that there would be no lectures held this"week on Tues- day and Thursday evenings. The next lecture will be given next Sunday eve- ning, and the subject will be Seven Reasons Why I Keep the Seventh Day Sabbath. Brief Mention. Miss Eleanore 1.

Halted on Previous Voyag: While on her last voyage from New York the City of Memphis was hait- ed off the Scilly Islands by » German submarine whose captain demanded to see the papers she carried. A mate went aboard the U-boat and was in- formed. that inasmuch as the Ameri- can_carried a contraband ‘cargo she ought to be sunk but that - because America and Germany were on friendly relations she might proceed. Leaving Havre after discharging her cotton, the City of Memphis put.in at Cardiff, Wales, for enough bunker coal to enable her to steam to New York. A message received vesterday by W. Plesants, president of the Ocean Steamship company, from Captain Bo- rum, announgeq the ship's departure from Caraiff on Friday. showing that she was less than 48 hours out when sunk. The City of Memphis' last voyage to Eurove was her tenth into the war zone. Exclusive of the final trip she had travelled 79,801 miles in taking aboard horses Yor the Italian govern- ment, cotton and general merchandise, worth more than $6,000,000, this fig- ure including the value of the last car- go delivered. Built in Chester, Pa. Built in Chester, Pa. in 1902, the swall City of Memphis, while in the coast- wise trade in May, 1914, was chartered by the government, during a crsis in the relations between the United States and ue:dm 1o transport sup- plies by war of Galveston to American rwp- occupying Vera Cruz. As she left Boston harbor a German freight- er fired a salute from a brass gun mounted on her deck. Subsequent vovages took her to Italy m -n«mmeo STEAMSHIPS SUNK Off Scalanova, Turkey, the American met Pritish and French warships which escorted her into the harbor but before she could load they ordered her out on the ground that they about to shell the town. The Amer- ican withdrew. Scalanova was bom- barded and the freightr again entered. While in the Turkish port Captain Borum entertained the authoriti aboard his ship and his vessel was “the dove” being the only neutral craft in the harbor. After she sailed the Turks signalled him to re- turn but Captain Borum suspected they intended to place his vessel between the warships and the town in_the event of another bombardment and continu- ed on his way. A second shelling did take place before the City of Mem- phis was entirely out of the harbor and the American ship, Mr. Pleanasts =ald today, was struck by entente shells and slightly damaged. On her vovage in‘o the war zone the City of Memphis each night carried a|Y. reflector above an American flag paint- ed on either side and the ship’s name appeared in six foot letters in sey- eral places. Vigilancia Built in 1890. The Vigilancia was built in 1890 for the Néw York and Cuba Mail Steam- ship company, better known as the Ward Line. In 1914 she was sold to gneage in the cotton carrying trade from the United States erma: points. In March, 1815, while on the way to Bremen, she was ssized by a British cruiser ‘and tnken into Kirk- wall. Sin¢e then the Vigilancia is said to have changed owners twice, her last owner being the Barber Line, but when sunk she was under charter to the Globe Line. She sailed from New York February 28 for the Azores and Havre, after be- ing delayed for three days after clear- ing and leaving her dock because of a strike gmong her crew. The crew demanded a 75 per cent. bonus on their regular wages as a war rek. The de- mand was compromised and the crew consented tc sall. The ship was plain- 1y marked as an American vessel with flags painted on, port and starboard ‘bows and with her name and hail port of New York on both sides in ters five feet high. Detaile of Cargo Withhe! Details as to what constituted her cargo are withheld by customs officials, but it is understood that the cargo was vaiued at nearly $750,000 and the ship at more than $1,000,000.
