Admirss Pastor Ru..sIps Book.

Atlanta CONSTITUTIONS Arp. the
Southern Philosopher wrote the fol-
lowing review Of "The Divine Plan Of
the Ages" some time before he died:
1T IL impossible to read this book
without loving the writer and ponder
ing his wonderful solution OF the great
mysteries that have troubled US all
our lives. There Is hardly a family to
be found that has not lost some loved
one who died outside the church-out-
side the plan Of salvation, and, IL Cal
vinism be true, outside Of all hope and
inside Of eternal torment and despair.
We smother our feelings and turn
away from the horrible picture. We
dare not deny the faith Of our fathers.
and yet can 1t be possible that the
good mother and the wandering child
are forever separated f-forever and
foreverf
II believe 1t Is the rigidity OF these
teachings that lakes atheists and inf
dels and skeptics-makes Christians
unhappy and brings their gray hairs
down In sorrow to the grave-a lost
child, lost soul!
This wonderful book makes no as
sertions that are not well sustained by
the Scriptures. 1t Is built up stone by
stone, and upon every stone Is the
text, and 1t 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 he throws food
of light upon that seems to remove
from them the dark and gloomy mean
ing. / see that editors Of leading Jour-
mails and many orthodox ministers Of
different denominations have endorsed
1t 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 comfort, for we are all pris-
oners Of hope This Is an age Of ad-
vanced thought. and more thinking Is
done than ever before-men dare to
think now. Light-more lights the
watchword."

How Matilda
Helped the Curate

She was not at all pretty; in fact.
some persons thought Matilda was
not even good-looking. but for all that
there was something in her frank.

title gray eyes that always began
by amusing and usually ended by cap

And they perhaps took a little salts

after they had both married Matilda
Grant was still Miss Grant-still, to
be sure. fascinatingg and amusing.
Everyone used to think that Matilda
would end by marrying her childhood
playmate and companion, Paul Meade.
and II had been whispered more than
once that there was an engagement.
And II was also whispered. though
Matilda made a confidant Of no one. it
was PauPs fault that when, not long
after Matilda's twenty-seventh birth

sanity class of the church,, but let US
Z also note that the time of no rain was
also typical. as mentioned in the Book OF
Revelation. Four times is this same pc
Rod of three and half years referred TO
as the period in which the true saints OF
God were hidden from the eyes or the
world in general In wilderness condi-
ton. And during the same period there
was a great drouth and famine, spiritual,
amongst the people. Those three and
half years, in Revelation, are styled three
and half times. and again, twelve hum
dred and sixty days, and again, forty-two
months.-Rev. 1914; 1876; II 81 1873.
"The Still Small Voice"
In Revelation however these various
references TO three and half years are
symbolical-each day for a year-and
hence signify twelve hundred and sixty
years In the antitype. Many believe that
those years began to count In 63S A. ID.
and that they ended In 1898. Those who
thus understand the matter recognize the
increased interest in the Bible which fol-
lowed 1893 to signify the time OF rain (re-
freshment and blessing). which for the
last century has brought great enlighten-
Lent to the whole world. But however
we may apply those three and half
years symbolical years twelve hundred
and sixty literal years.. most evidently
they cover the antitypical period repre-
SeHteu Dy III the VIII
derness.
II this be true application 1t implies
a measure of fear and cowardice for a
time on the part of Gods sanity people.
AS Elijah again went into hiding Ii would
imply that the sanity ones became OBJ
scure. While they were In this wilderness
condition second time, God directed
their course and taught them some impor-
tant lessons, represented In EliJah's expe-
riences related in this lesson. He was
shown a strong wind, tearing the noun
tains and breaking in pieces the rocks.
but this was not the Lords manifestation
of himself, but merely an illustration Of
power The next lesson was an earth
quake, but neither was this the Lord.
Next came fire, but not in this could
Elijah fully discern the Lord. Finally
came the still, small voice and wonderful
message OF grace and Truth. In this
Elijah recognized God as he did not rec
ognize him in the other manifestations.
The antitypical Elijah, Gods sanity peo-
pie. are today learning TO discriminate be-
tween differeQt manifestations Of Divine
power through different agencies. Windy
