Is He Consistent

Dr. woodrow Wilson, late preSiden
of Princeton university and now gov
ernor-elect Of New Jersey, has been
one of those college professors who
are against pensions to the veterans
Of the civil war. All the same, he has
applied for pension from the Car
negie foundation, which gives PEN
sions to professors after a certain
number of years of service. His ap-
plication is naturally making good
deal Of comment, with his friends and
the professors as q class claiming
that the pension Is desired more for
its honor" than for It's pecuniary
value. Some Of the doctors chickens
came home to ~oost in his opponents
pointing out that he is not entitled to
q pension while he is receiving a
good salary as governor of the state.
This seems to be on all tours with
the arguments in the case of civil
war pensioners. OF course, we can
say with regard to Dr. Wilson what
VIC have said about thousands of 9TH,
er pensioners who have been attact+ba
by the pensiop-hating ore f.
pension ! n .9fe Word of God presents
,ei,,i.e..J and beautifully the fact that
| the great Creator, the Father of all
mercies. is Jehovah Cod and that he
has an only begotten Son who is yet to
be the Savior or Deliverer Of all of
Adams race willing to accept the
grace of God provided in him. And
there is one holy Spirit. 'the spirit of
truth" 1.-The spirit Of wisdom 1.-The
spirit of sound mind" the spirit of
power. energy, will. mind of the Father
which is also the spirit of the Son
and which must be also the spirit. dis.
position. mind. will of all those who
now come unto the Father as sons
through the adoption which is in
Christ Jesus.
The Only Begotten Honored.
Before the beginning of the creation
Of God, before the Only Begotten of
the Father became the Alpha of Crea-
ton, the Father had wonderful pur-
poses in himself respecting all his
great plan for the everlasting future.
1t included this world and mankind.
and the permission of sin. and the re
demption of man from sin and it's
penalty, and the restoration to be ac-
complished by Messiah's Kingdom and
the glorious work Of eternity in fur
Their creations in world after world.
But, as the Master declared, these
things the Father had kept in his own
power-in his own hand He dvul@cd
them not to the angels. lioi even to bis
dearly beloved "only begotten Son"
We have seen bow this Divine secret
Divine purpose, was symbolically rep
resented in the scroll in the hands
Of Jehovah. as pictured in Revelation
v, 1. We have seen that this revela-
ton was delivered to the Lamb. the
Only Begotten One, after he had been
slain-after his conservation at Jordan,
and in its fulness after his death at
Calvary, when he assembled up on high,
glorifled at the right hand Of the
Fathers majesty.
But before the Logos was made
flesh, before he undertook to be mans
Redeemer, the Heavenly Father set
before him the glorious proposition.
He Informed him that he had plan,
a scroll, and that the execution thereof
was to be given to one who would
prove himself worthy, by demonstrate
ing his loyalty to the Divine WILL
We read that God sent his only be-
gotten Son into the world, but we are
not to understand from this that he
came under Divine commands, the re-
tusal of which would have meant Di-
vine displeasure and his own degrade
ton. On the contrary, we understand
the matter clearly when we hearken
TO the Apostles statement. He de-
clares that Messiah left the glory,
which he had with the Father before
the world was, and humbled himself
to take upon himself mans form ana
then consecrated himself even unto
death-all because of the joy that the
Father had set before him.
The joy set before the Logos was ~
That thus he might serve the Heaven
ly Fathers gracious purposes.
! (2) That he might recover mankind
from the state of sin and death into
which all were plunged by father
Adams one act of disobedience.
