our embarrassment, and prepares us to meet our coming Lord with joy. WHEN shall we expect our Savior to come and take away His bride, raising the sainted dead and translating the living saints? Now, all the New Testament certifies over and over that we are in the last age preceding the coming kingdom. We are not only in the last age, but rapidly approaching the end of the Gentile Age.

THE GREAT EVANGELIST JOHN E. BROWN, says, "Jesus has been, was and will ever be the Friend of the Human Family. He came into this world with wisdom Omnicient, with power Omnipotent. He came to set the captives free.

The Devil has been, was and ever will be the Enemy of the Human Family, with wisdom Omnicient, with power Omnipotent and with the utmost cunning he goes about setting his snares; setting amongst these snares temptations that blind; and once they are in the toils of the evil one it takes no prophet to tell what the end will be." The Devil is as much a person as God Himself. The Bible teaches that there is a personal God, one who loves and helps you; and a personal devil who hates you; and the Bible teaches

those two facts just as definitely as it teaches anything in the world.

The Devil is Mighty; God is Almighty.

Hence, we see that the light of his glorified person. will flash round the world and affright the slumbering millions now resting in carnal security throughout every nation under heaven. Appalled and panicstricken they will howl out one universal wail at Him.

"May the Lord anoint your eyes that you may see, your ears that you may hear the voice of your ascended Lord from the skies; Awake, my Beloved, wash and dress, for I am coming."

Luke 24: "Behold my hands and feet that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have."

NOTES TAKEN FROM THE GREAT EVANGELIST PAUL RADER-COMMENTS AND SERMONS

As the body of our Lord lay in the tomb I am confident that all hell held a high jubilee, but on the third day God breathed into that sleeping clay and he arose and there was consternation in hell.

Matt. 28: "Behold there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat
