======================================================================== (PRESENT TRUTHS OR THE SUPERNATURAL) 6. THE SUPERNATURAL HOPE by A.B.

(Titus 2: 13.) "Looking for and hastening unto the coming of the day of God." (2 Pet. 3: 12.) In the opening verses of 2 Peter 3 the apostle speaks of a school of thinkers who should arise in the last days and should say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning." This is but another form of expressing the very doctrine which a certain school of philosophers and scientists are promulgating in this very day. It is substantially the principle of the doctrine of evolution. Its vital principle is this -- the things that are have been evolved out of similar things in the past and they will go on developing into similar unfoldings in the future. There has been no real crisis suspending the natural order of things and there will be none. Therefore, such a harsh, strained doctrine as that of the interposition of the supreme Being directly in the future history of this planet, and His advent on the stage of earth in personal form does violence to all the finest instincts of culture and all the established principles of science.
