that they will come forth from the
tomb no longer blemished and imper-
feet, but fully, completely restored to
the perfection originally enjoyed by
father Adam Additionally these will
have the special guidance and in
struction of Messiah Head and men,
bers) In all the affairs of mankind.
Thus as the Master said, speaking Of
that time. "Ye shall see Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob and the prophets In the
Kingdom duke xiii, 2S).
Gods Kingdom will be represented
In the earth by Israel-especially by
these sanity men of Israel, resurrect-
ed perfect. who will be the special ap-
pointees and representatives of the
glorlfied Messiah's rule. As it is writ

Client sanity ones were styled "the
fathers" as Jesus was styled the Son
of Abraham and DAVID shall be thy
children, whom thou mayest make
princes in all the earth psalm xiv,
16). These princes, acting under and
continually in contact with the spirit
ual Kingdom and rulers styled In the
Scriptures the royal priesthood" will,
Of course, be SO superior in their wis
dom and power as to command the
obedience of the whole earth. The ma
ton Of Israel. with whom they are re-
lated, would naturally respond more
quickly than others to the New order
of things. which will be just that for
which they have been waiting and
praying for more than thirty centuries.
All Nations Flow Unto It.
In these words the Lord through the
prophet assures us of the wonderful
success which will attend the estab-
lishment of the New Empire of earth,
the dominion of the Prince of light,
which will supersede the dominion of
the Prince of darkness, when Satan
shall be bound for a thousand years,
that he may deceive the peoples no
more. Messiah's Kingdom will be
high above all other Kingdoms, not
only In its grandeur. majesty and au.
thority. but also in the lofty principles
which 1t will represent Thus it is
written, "He shall lay righteousness to
the line and justice to the plummet
and the hail TRUTH shall sweep away
the refuge Of lies" isaiah xviii, I'D.
Nevertheless. as the world shall come
to appreciate the new order of things
all nations shall flow unto it. fol1 up
to it-contrary to the downwardness
of fallen human nature. 1t will make
manifest such wonderful rewards for
righteousness and obedience to God and
it will so make manifest the stripes
that must attend all willful disobedi-
ence to the Divine arrangement that
the Scripture will be fulfilled which
declares that when the judgments Of
the Lord are abroad in the earth, the
inhabitants of the world will learn
righteousness isaiah XVI. 81.
Humanity for six thousand years
has been learning 1.-The exceeding sin
fitness of SIM" it's downward tenden-
cy in every sense of the word. Every
form of government has been tried In
an endeavor to secure the greatest
amount of blessing. But the uniform
results have been that those exalted to
place and influence and power have
proved themselves unequal to the OPP
portunities and temptations of the po-
sitions and have abused them selfishly.
Whoever is acquainted with history
realizes the truthfulness Of all this.
If some of US have hoped that the gen.
eral education Of the masses and the
general enlightenment of the race
would abolish sin and selfishness and
demonstrate the truthfulness Of the
Proverb, Honesty Is the best policy"
we are willing to confess that this has
been a mistake. We perceive that the
greater the wisdom and intelligence
granted to a selfish mind and heart
the greater will be its opportunities
for evil and Indictment thereto.
Every Man Against His Neighbor.
AS q consequence the world is losing
in itself All, whether poll
ticians or judges or governors, great
or small, Of one party or another, Of
one nationality or another-all are ac-
cused Of being tarred with the same
stick Of selfshness. The Bible clearly
indicates that this distrust is not with
out reason and that the great time OF
trouble soon TO come upon every nation
Daniel xii. II will be the direct result
of this loss Of confidence. The Bibles
description of the matter briefly sum-
med up Is. Every mans hand shall be
against his neighbor (Zechariah viii,
10; xiv, 49, 1t will be after that great
time Of trouble shall have thoroughly
humanity as respects itself
and any hopes it might have had Of
bringing about Millennium by its
own efforts-that God will manifest his
Kingdom in the top of the mountains
higher than all other kingdoms every
way, and all people shall flow toward
It. AS it is written, THE desire of all
peoples shall come" (Haggai ii, y.
This is described in the verse follow
ing our text which reads. And many
people shall go and say, Come We, let
us go up to the mountain (kingdom) of
the Lord, to the house Cemple) of the
God of Jacob; and he will teach US of
bis ways and we will walk In his
paths, for out of Zion 1.-THE spiritual
unseen Kingdom Of Messiahl shall go
forth the Law and the Word of the
Lord from Jerusalem 1.-THE seat of
earth's empire TO bel. And he shall
Judge among the nations forwarding
