HIS COMING AND HIS APPEARING (Continued from page 415) nearness which Christ’s second coming sustains to one part is the measure of its nearness to the whole. It is a mistake, therefore, to insert any unfulfilled pro phecies between the present moment and the possibility of His return. All admit that certain prophecies remain to be fulfilled, as the partial restoration in unbelief of Israel to their own land, and the development of the antichrist; but while these may arrest the immediate expectation of His appearing, they ought not to prevent the solemn and eager outlook day by day for His coming. There are two stages in His second advent. First, He descends into the air, whence His shout awakens the saints sleeping in the grave, and changes the living saints, who together are caught up to meet Him on His kingly way. It is here they are manifested before His judgment seat, the awards and distinctions of the kingdom are determined, and the mar riage of the Lamb is celebrated (1 Thess. 4:16-18;; 2 Cor. 5:10; Matt. 25:14:23; Luke 19:12-19; Rev. 19:6-9). Then they accompany Him in the judgment of the world, and in His millennial reign (1 Cor. 6:2; Matt. 19:28; Dan. 7:22; Rev. 2:26, 27; 20:4). „ A Y e ^e ,?,r,- Brookes alive today, he would see thejbeglnning or the fulfillment of this prophecy, as well as indications o f the preparation for the antichrist.—-Eld. to carry back the message of the Cross to those still in darkness. It was a happy, solemn company that trooped back to camp and quietly retired for the night. The missionary appeal was not neglected. A splendid missionary pageant was presented by one of the clubs, the story of which was ’the story of the life of one of the girls who took part in the pageant. It was a special blessing to everyone and quickened the interest of the girls in the Lord’s work whether at home or across the sea. The recreational part of the program was very enjoyable and included a trip to the beach, a hike and an afternoon of the funniest stunts imaginable. The Conference closed Saturday afternoon with the awarding of the Euodia banner which was given to the Garey Street School, Pomona. A happier bunch ,would be hard to imagine than the ■bunch that reluctantly left the Palisades Saturday afternoon, the 19th, and wended their way homeward praying that the Lord would help them carry a portion of the blessing they had received back to those who are needing the Lord Jesus Christ. And as the last bus left the Palisades the hum of the ukuleles and the happy voices of the girls could be heard singing, THE EUODIA CONFERENCE (Continued from page 419)
