                   not claim to be giving it; and they can point


               to none who are giving it, except it be a certain


               class who profess that that is the very work


               they are doing. But to admit the claims of this


               class would be to condemn themselves. Their


               perplexity                   would                be          deserving                   of



               commiseration,  were  it  not  that  those  who


               will accept an embarrassing dilemma rather


               than  acknowledge  the  truth,  are  not  justly


               entitled to much sympathy.

               messages fix the chronology of the third, and


               show that it belongs to the present time; but,


               as in the case of the former, the best evidence


               in behalf of the proposition that the message


               is now going to the world, is to be able to point


               to  events  which  demonstrate  the  fulfilment.
