PASTOR WHO REACHES FOLLOW
ERS THROUGH NEWSPAPERS.
Some Facts Concerning the Life Work
of Rev.. Charles T. Russell
Who Has Been Misrep-
resented.

Allegheny, Pa.-One of the busiest
men in the United States is Charles
T. Russell, of Allegheny.
Some people call him Rev. Charles
7. Russell, but he himself disclaims
all titles, believing that as Jesus and
the apostles disclaimed them so
should he.
Russell is the leader of a religious
movement which has its followers all
over the world. He is not the orig
inator of sect, but simply claims
membership in the original church
institution of the scriptures, therein
described simply as the church,
whose names are written in heaven"
1t has no houses of worship of
dts own, and Pastor Russell's plan
for reaching his numerous and widely
scattered followers with his discourses
is unique one
He travels a great deal. preaching
in opera houses in the large cities
of the country and through arrange
ments with various newspapers gladly
printing the discourses because of the
increased circulation which accrues to
them through the subscriptions of
Russelfs many followers.
Thus he breaches each Sunday to a
congregation of hundreds of thou
sands.
Russell has been considerably dis.
turbed of late over false and mislead-
ing accounts of his teachings and his
plans which have appeared in many
newspapers.
Among other things, it was recent
ay announced that he was endeavoring
TO get control of Dowie's Zion City
and turn it into a home for his fol-
lowers.
Nothing could be more untrue"
he declares. Il have no desire for
Zion City, and there have been no ne
gotiations whatever in the matter"
1t has also been published that
Russell is "the no-hell preacher
cause he teaches there is no place of
future fiery torment
Pastor Russell declares that he does
not believe in hell as a place of eter-
nal torment, but holds that the "sheol'
.of the Old Testament and the "hades"
of the New Testament is the state of
'death-that mankind, because of orig
inal sin, is under a death sentence
which affects all mentally, morally
and physically, and eliminates in the
tomb
He holds that redemption was from
the tomb, that Christ died for humans
tvs sins, and that as a result of this
redemption all mankind is ultimately
to be released from this state of death
