THESE ARE LAST DAYS Scientific Progress of Today Fulfilment of Prophecy of Scripture, Declares Lecturer A considerably Increased attendance at last night's meeting Indicated a growing interest in the Seventh Day Adventlst evangelical mission which Is being conducted here by Alnsley Blair and Eric Beaven. Mr. Blair, the lecturer of the evening, spoke on the subject of "A Prophecy 2470 Years Old Regarding Our Day Most Strikingly Fulfilled." ! Mr. Blair, who specializes in Inter pretation or the prophetic scriptures, took his text from the words of Daniel: "In the time of the end many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased." Referring In some detail to the amazing progress of science and Invention as a result of which so many wonders- were being devised in widespread fields, the revolution in the way of scientific develop ment being such that even scien tists themselves found It difficult to keep pace, the speaker read the signs of the times as fulfilling the prophecy that this was "the time of the end" and that the Second Coming of Christ was near at hand. The evangelist appealed to his listeners to turn to Christ in these latter days and give themselves wholly to God. Man should delay no longer In taking the great lesson to himself and curbing the evil in his own heart. Why .should iman continue to do without hope and without responding to Christ's call? Mr. Beavon was in charge of the conducting of the service. Leslie J. Martin, sales manager, and H. W. Hamilton, comptroller of the Home Oil Distributors Ltd . isalled by the Prince Rupert last night on their return to Vancouver following a brief business visit to "the company's local plant.
