From Atlanta Constitutional
A kind lady has sent me book OF $50
pages called "Millennial DAWN" published
by the Tower Publishing Co., in Pittsburg'
Pa, which will, believe, awaken the think
ing world. see that its sale is already over
twenty-five thousand. 1t is impossible to
read this book without loving the writer and
pondering his wonderful solution of the great
mysteries that have troubled us all our lives.
There is hardly family to be found that has
not lost some loved one who died outside the
church-outside the plan Of salvation and II
Calyinism be true outside Of all hope and IN
side of eternal torment and despair we
smother our feelings and turn away from tee
horrible picture. We dare not deny the iai'h
of our fathers, and yet can it be possible that
the good mother and her wandering child are
forever separated-forever and foreverf
l believe it is the rigidity Of these teachings
that makes atheists and inhdels and skeptics-
makes Christians unhappy and brings their
gray hairs down in SORROW to the grave-a
lost child, lost soul
Let us see how many lost souls. The geog.

these, only sixteen million are adult members
of the church; and of these, about one million
walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.
That is a beautiful picture. one million
of truly good, pious Christian people in all the
world, and thirteen hundred and ninety nine
millions who are elected to be eternally
damned. Add to these figures one hundred
and forty-two billions, who have already lived
and died in the ages past, and if all these are
damned, it does look like Gods plan oi saliva.
ton was miserable failure. He gets one soul
for glory while Satan captures thousands.
This wonderful book teaches that trial IS yet
to come--that all are to rise from the dead
when Christ comes, that He will offer His sal
vation to all people; not only to the living,
but to those who rise from the dead. His
kingdom will be supported by the saints and
by good people everywhere, and the mother
will have another chance to reclaim her wan
dering child and bring him unto the kingdom.
This wonderful book makes no assertions that
are not well sustained by the Scriptures. 1t
is built up stone by stone, and upon every
stone is the text, and it becomes pyramid OF
Gods love, and mercy, and wisdom. There
is nothing in the Bible that the author denies
or doubts, but there are many texts that ne
throws flood Of light upon that seems to un-
cover its dark and gloomy meaning. see
that editors of leading journals, and many
orthodox ministers of different denominations,
have indorsed it and have confessed to this
new and comforting light that has dawned
upon the Interpretation Of Gods book. Then
let every man read and ponder and take conf
fort, for we are all prisoners Of hope. This
is an age of advanced thought and more
thinking is done than ever before, men dare
to think now. Light-more light, is the
watchword. BILL ARP.
