The Pastor seemed specially to euioy
the semi-privacy of this meeting With
the Tabernacle congregation. As is
generally known he Is about to start
on a tour of the world In company with
q committee of six gentlemen OF af
fairs, of which be Is the chosen Chair
man. The committee was appointed
some months ago by the International
Bible Students Association to visit
heather lands and investigate condi
lions there and report to the Associa
ton and to the public their findings
along the following lines;

Only the Church Harvested.
The Pastor reminded his hearers that
he belle yes the Bible to teach that we
are now in the Harvest time Of this
Age. Consequently none should mis-
understand the visit to heather lands
to imply any expectation on his part
that the heather must be converted
before this Age will end. That such
would be a human impossibility i
shown by the government statistics
the numbers of heather having dou-
bled during the past century.
What he does expect is that as there
are a few of Gods very elect in all
denominations of Christendom now &c
be garnered. so also there are a few
sanity ones amongst the heather who
have accepted Christ-including some
of the missionaries. The Harvest mus
cover as wide an area as did the sow
ing Of the Gospel seed.
