my ways higher than your ways.
(Isaib iv. 81. He explains that his
ultimate purpose is that there shall
he no imperfect creature in all his
Universe. All whose hearts are loyal
to him and the principles of his
government shall be perfected, and
all others shall be destroyed in the
Second Death. Thus, eventually, ev-
cry knee shall bow and every tongue
confess to the glory Of God. Then
every creature which is in heaven and
the earth, and under earth, shall be
heard saying, Blessing, honor and
glory and power be uAto him that
stitch upon the throne, and unto the
Lamb forever (RevelaLion v, 49,.
You are Bought With a. Price.
Possibly God could have arranged
some other way Of dealing with sin
and sinners which would not have
required the death, Of Jesus as the
ransom price, the purchase price, the
redemption price for sinners. But
the fact that this method was adopt
ed by our great Creator assures US
that no other method would have
been so wise, SO just, SO beneficial
|.No other method would have so full
Fly demonstrated Gods Wisdom, JUS
ttce, Love and Power.
In brief, then. Gods arrangement
is that all of his human creatures
shall have opportunity Of full return
to harmony with himself, provided
they wish to do SO, provided their
hearts, their wills, are fully respon-

the requirements set forth in our
ext. God has provided In Jesus for
he satisfaction of Divine Justice as
respects all Of the condemned race

| We agree with all the orthodox
ereeds of Christendom that only re-

put it away from our thoughts and

plains that the righteousness. the full

are walking not after the flesh, but

joint-heirship with the Lord Jesus
Christ in his Millennial Kingdom and

Our disagreement with all ''ortho-
dox creeds' is in respect to. what shall
be done with the unsaintly-with
/ those who do not present themselves
to God and who are not beEotten
again OF the Holy Spirit. Our creeds
Of the dark ages misrepresentd the
teachings Of the Bible in respect to
these and told US that they are all to
be consigned for hundreds of thous-
ands of years to Purgatory or for all
Eeternity in hell torment Not such is
i the teaching OF Gods Word; but the
very reverse as we have previously
Eshown. The Scriptures do not declare.
In thee and in thy seed shall all the
4 families OF the earth be damned;
.tbut the reverse of this--that they
Eshall all be blessed. All the sin-blind
eyes shall be opened. All the deaf
FEARS Of ignorance shall besunstopped.
i For the blest thousand years of our
Christ's reign the worlds uplifting
or resurrection shall proceed, while
the knowledge of the glory of God
shall fill the whole earth. The angels
+ on the plains of Bethlehem did not
declare to the shepherds, Fear great

lings Of gr eat misery which shall be
unto all people. Their message was
the reverse Of this: Fear not, behold
we bring you good tidings Of great
joy which shall be unto all people"
(Luke ii, 10).' God who had due
i time for calling natural Israel and
iwho had also "due time" for call
Fling spiritual Israel, has a due time"
for making known the riches OF his
/ grace to the non-elect world of man
kind. And the elect" OF spiritual
Israel and OF natural Israel are to be
1.-THE channels of this Divine grace and
mercy, which, during the Millennial
Age will flow as river of salvation,
to which all mankind will be invited
to come and drink freely. M
Love Mercy and Walk Humbly.
L 1t may astonish some that God re-
uuires even more than Justice, which
is his legal standard. In his permits
sion of sin and its wage Of death he
has shown the sinner his own mercy
or love. And is for the sinners ben
fit and for the good of all, that God
requires that all who will have the
full benefit Of his mercy shall be re-
CURED to cultivate this mercy quail

attempts to conform his life to the
