To the Editor of the "Nortn-Crixa Dairy News."
Srr,—It certainly locks from late telegrams as if "the Coming War" is coming. Many agree with Mr. Coates that the Second Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ. is imminent, but I think the majority are sorry he commits himself to predieting the exact year.
I am writing to recommend a book. I believe many through Mr. Coates's letter will have become interested in the subject who have never studied it. Clarence Larkin's "The Book of Revelation'' is a concise, clear, and sane study of that book and of what the Bible tells us with regard to the end of this age. It can be obtained from Olayvence Larkin, Pastor, Bethany Booties Church, Fox Chase, Phila., In the last chapter of Daniel it is written "Go thy way Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." In the last\chapter of the Revelation it is written "Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book for the time is at hand." Again Daniel says None of. the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand." By "the wicked" the Word of God means—all who will not recognize Jesus Christ as their Lord both by profession and life (Matt. 21.41).
One of your correspondents has given us his ideas of how the King will act when He comes. What he thinks is absolutely valueless, If he could tell us what he believes the Scriptures to predict, he might have had some reason. for publishing his opinions; but to express publicly his own views, which are mere speculation, is nothing less than an impertinence.
I am, ete., Yencheng, Oct. 13, 1922.
