Two Possible ssIgtisnp..
There seem 10 he Two possible sslus
lions: ~ To convert M or the wealthy
into saints, whose pleasure II would
be to administer the flood of wealllli
now rolling In upon them for tile gcits
eral blessing OF mankind. along the
most benevolent lines imaginable, or
g) TO convert into saints the masses
Of mankind and TO so iinbuc them
with heavenly hopes and prospects
that they. would not particularly care
for earthly good things nor crave
them. hut $ratiier rejoice to be the,
poorsof this world. rich in faith, heirs
OF the heavenly Kingdom" = :
We confess that neither solution
seems, to be practicable. We cannot
believe that either can be accomplish.
ed: hence We must believe what the.
Bible teaches that an awful conflict
Is about TO be precipitated between
these two classes, because neither one
nor the other can be fully converted to
the Lords way. How glad. We are
that the Bible shows that the culntna!
ton OF the conflict will bring iererlast.,
ing peace-a just. loving. equitable
and satisfactory adjustment Of enrth's
affairs. under Messlah's glorious reign
Of a thousand years. Z
Tho Divine Arrangement.
Someone may; ask. Would not these
same difficulties ,beset any new gov.
eminent which Messiah sor others
might institute? VIII not the clement
of selfshness forever persist In the hu.
man heart. and will not this imply
that TO all eternity there will be n
strife OF selfish interests? We answer,
No. The Divine Plan solves the, prob
lem perfectly. Jesus has demonstrat-
ed His unselishness as respects earth
" ithlngs. Els laying down. Of His life
not only proved His loyalty to right.
eousness md to the Fathers will. but
proved also His unselflshness-Hl
love-.greater love hnth. no man than
this. that mnn should lay down his
life for his friends."s Iohn xv. 49,
This Friend Of humanity is to be the
great King Of the world In the New
Dispensation. and His associates In
the Kingdom. the Bride class. are to
be such only as have His spirit and
disposition of obedience to the Fathers
will-self-sacriHce and love for fellow.
man-unsefsh love. Under present
conditions these may not always be
known. nor their true character and
unselfishness be dlscerned. because
they have the treasure In "earthen
vessels" which do not always fully,
represent their true benerolence Of
henri.
The Divine provision is that such Of
these rs shall demonstrate their unself.
ishness of heart and loyalty to the
Lord shall be given new bodies In the
resurrection-''sown in weakness. they
will be raised In power: sown In dis.
honor. raised in glory; sowE IN animal
body."'"wlth Adamic weaknesses and
feshly imperfections. they will be rails.

These. In association with their Re.
deemer, will constitute the Kingdom
class which Is to rule the world for /,

Jesus. Surely. we can trust these, we
can have confidence In them. The fact
that God has selected them. and that
He Is pleased to give over. TO them the
