classes will more profitably confine
their study to chapter 13. In order to
avoid conl'iiHlou iu tills study, let It he
clearly home In mind that two mat

Jerusalem by the Itomnn armies anil
the glorious return of the Lord. The
two are sometimes go closely Inter

I. The Occasion of the Prophecy
(vv. 1-4).
As Jesus was passing through the
temple for the hint time on his way to
the Mount of Olives, where he gave
this discourse, the dlaclplcs reminded
hlin of the splendor of the building, to
which he replied that hot one stone
should be left upon another. When
sealed upon the mount three disciples
came prlvutcly with a threefold ques
tion, according to Matthew 24. request
ing further Information.
1. When shall these things he?
2. What shnll he the sign of thy '
coming?
3. And of the end of the agaT
That which follows Is given In an
swer to these questions.
II. The Characteristics of the Age
During the Absence of Christ (vv.5-23).
1. Appearance of deceivers (vv.
0. 0).
Since Jesus went back to heaven
many false Ohrlsts from time to time
have pressed their claims as being the
Christ. As the age draws to a close
A bloated, boastful-looking man sat
I at a lunch table alone. Men came to
hlrn occasionally. He made notes In a
small book. He was engaged In the
highly-useful profession of book-mak
Ing.
His bulging eyes caught Bight of a
wrlst-wfitch on the arm of a young
man In khaki.
"Humph! pretty Sammy and his
wrist-watch ! All dolled up and don't
know how to fight! Won't the business
end of a bunch of Roche guns make
hlrn mn. Ought to have a stop-watch
to keep a record of his get-away speed.
"These picture soldiers make me sick I
Wonder what that wrist-watch 8am-
my'll do whi n they send hltn over the
top. Poor boy I"
People around hlin burned at the In
sult to the uniform. The lady with
the kliakl-clad Sammy rose and went
to the check-stand. She returned with
a pair of crutches. The Sammy's right
leg was off at the knee.
Thrilling to the effectiveness of the
reproof to the unpatriotic nnlmnl and
thrilling with a deeper something that
brou yhf the tears, every man and wom
an In the restaurant rose. As the hero
went out they stood at attention In
a silence vocal with their acknowl
edgment of the superb sacrifice for
tin -in and the world's democracy made
by that precloua Wrist-Watch Sammy.

Loggers and mill hands in hr and wpruee at $1 to $8 per warning.
a. Karthipiakes nnd famines (v. 8).
TIiouk'i these ciilaiultles grow In-
ereasliiKl.V severe as the days leiiKthen,
the IntelliKeut, believliiK disciple is not
surprised or nlarnied, for these are
the precursors of a new order, the
hlrth piintjs of a new ajfe, the estab
lishment of the KiiiKilom of Christ
upon this earth. Let the child of Cod
In this present darkness look up, for
his redemption draweth iiIk'i (Luke
21 :2S).
4. t'nlversal evanKclIsm (v. 10).
The gospel of the Kingdom, accord
ing to Matthew 21:14, shall be preach
ed In all the world for a witness. This
Is not the (lospel of the grace of God
which we now preach, but the new
evangelism which shall he proclaimed
by elect Israelites Immediately pre
ceding the coming of Christ to estab
lish bis Kingdom (see Itev. 7:4-10;
Horn. 11:1.-.).
III. The Lord's Glorious Return (vv.
!4L'7).
This Is the superlative rwi.l, the
one to which all prophecies have point
ed, and all ages are moving with un
failing precision. It will usher la the
golden age of which the wise anil
great of all sges have ilreniued'and
for which they longed. The coming
of the Lord will put an end to earth's
sorrows; wars and strife will not end
until the kingdoms of Mils world be
come the Kingdom of our I.ord and his
Christ (ftev. 11:15). Tills event will
be accompanied by great physical dis
turbances and Jesus will gather his
elect from the emit, of the earth.
IV. Applications of the Prophecy
(vv. 2S:i7).
1. As these events multiply In the
earth we know that the comlii-- of the
Lord draweth nigh (vv. L'S, as the
putting forth of the Ichvcs of the tig
tree prove the approach of summer.
The Jewish race shall retuin Its
Integrity till the end (v. 30).
The perpetuity of Israel is the mir
acle of the ages.
S. Certainty of fulfillment (v. 31).
The uoHil'iig guj'runtee Is the
words of t'lo 1st.
4. The time of Christ's coming uu
