Pastor Russell translated his text to
read. "Thenceforth there shall be 40
more death of an infant of days, nor
of an old man who hath not filed his
days; for the dying one shall be but a
child at hundred years old-a sinner
hundred years old shall be accursedN
cut Off from life. He pointed out
from the text that this statement is a
prophecy respecting the future-re.
speeding the time when Messiah's
Kingdom will rule the world. The
verses following the text, he said, In,
dicate clearly that in that glorious
Epoch landlordism will be thing of
the past. People will build their own
houses and inhabit them: plant their
own vineyards and enjoy the fruit
thereof. They give description of the
period when sin will be giving place
to righteousness; and sorrow and death
will be giving place to happiness and
life-perfect and lasting.

earthly blessing OF salvation has not

come before its time. st. Peter tells
us that those times Of restitution Of
all things whieh God hath spoken by
the mouth of all the holy prophets

the Second Coming of Christ-after he
shall have selected the sanity few who
will constitute his Bride, his joint-heirs
in his glory, honor and immortality

Living ard Dead-Just and Unjust.
Pastor Russell declares that Cod S
provision for the Church will include
not only those alive MT the Second
Coming of Christ. but also. by a resur-
rection change. all those who have
fallen asleep In Christ throughout this
Gospel Age. These will constitute the
first resurrection" and as priests of
God and Christ will reign with him q
thousand years Revelation Xxx, ~.
Just so also, the earthly blessings
Will include not only the people living
at the time Of the Inauguration Of that
Reign of Righteousness, but also as
the Redeemer said, "All that are In
their graves"-the evil as well as the
good. The sanity ones coming forth
will have their reward Immediately
because of their faithfulness during
their trial time, which precedes the
trial time of the world. Then the mass
of mankind. aside from the Church
class, will all be brought to knowl
edge OF the Truth-heathen and civil
lized-none will any longer be allowed
! to grope In darkness or to be blinded
by Satan and the attractions OF sin
Satan himself will be bound and al
the fallen angels with him will be re
strained from deIuding or having any
| thing further to do with humanity
The light of the glory of God will Al
the whole earth as the waters cover
the great deep. Every knee shall bow
and every tongue confess to Messiah
to the glory of God the Father.
