from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner." Paul tells us that the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, 1 Thess. 4:16: He is coming back to this earth. ' ' His feet shall stand upon the Mt. of Olives." Zech. 14:4. He will come with power- and great glory, Matt. 24:30. (2) The Purpose of His Coming. There are many events connected with the Second Coming of the Lord. We want to specify a few that are re- lated to the believers. The sleeping saints shall be resurrected, and the liv- ing saints shall be changed, 1 Cor. 15: 51-52, 1 Thess. 4:16-17. They shall ap- pear with Him in glory, Col. 3:4. They shall be like Him, 1 John 3:2;- They
shall ever be with Him, 1 Thes. 4:17. Their works shall be manifested and they shall receive their rewards accord- ing to their works, 1 Cor. 3:12-15. They shall reign forever and ever, Rev. 22:5. (3) The Precept Concerning His Coming Watch, for ye know not what hour your Lord cometh, Matt. 24:42, Matt. 25:32. Wait for His coming, 1 Cor. 1:7, 1 Thess. 1:9-10. Be Patient, James 5: 7, 8. "Be not ignorant," I I Pet. 3:3-9. Be diligent, I I Pet. 3:14. Let your prayer be that of John the Beloved, whose heart beat in loving sympathy with His absent Lord, and when the Lord said " Su r e ly I come quickly" John replied: " E v e n so, come Lord J e s u s ." Eev. 22:20.

At the earnest solicitation of some of the young 'people, we prepared last year Outline Lessons for Young People's Meetings. We are responding to a like request the coming year. We have pre- pared 52 studies, covering the entire book of John. These lessons will be simple, spiritual, suggestive outlines, conducive to the strengthening and deepening of the spiritual life, and help- ful for practical work. We will give one coluirn of our paper to each lesson. Leaflets will be furnished at a nominal price for societies not wanting the mag- azine.

Originally i nten<\d to supply the interested friends "with notes on the Sunday School lesson it has broadened to a larger sphere and is now the medium of com- munication between the Institute and its friends. We expect through its pages to keep our ever increasing con- stituency acquainted with its needs and Work. The Institute has grown in a most remarkable manner and we recog- nize it as a part of God's plan for the spread of the true Gospel and desire that it shall meet His approval in all things. The coming year we plan for some helpful advances in our magazine which will make it of increased advan- tage to students of the Word and es- pecially to the young people. There will be 52 studies in the Gos- pel of John for Young Peoples' So- cieties Course. Our Mr. Hadden will have a page on Suggestions for Soul Saving which will be of great value to workers. Suggestive outlines for Bible studies will also be given. Some con- tributions from strong teachers of the Word. No uncertain sound will ever be heard.
