Mother system and the various sects
Of Professionalism are the daughters.
and the name Babylon Is a family
maine. 1t belongs to the mother sys-
TEN first, and to all the daughters of
the system now, as well. Improper as
ISOLATION with the world, its govern
ments and systems. is crime to which
they are perties. The daughters"
have followed the example of the
mother" and more OF less are coming
back into sympathy with her in all
particulars. None of them have main
tanned the proper attitude of uirg,nity
| and separateness from the world.
~ Speak Not unkindIy."
Do not misunderstood me. believe
that there are true saints of God In all
mother and daughters. 1 do not even
charge nor believe that those who have
upheld and are UNFOLDING the various
sections of Babylon have an evil In
tention; believe that they are thor
oughly drunk" intoxicated with their
| own erroneous theories. The fall Of
their present institutioRs will be
| startling blow to them for they verify
believe them to be Christ's Kingdom
| and style them such-Christendom.
The fall of Babylon will astOnish the
entire world. so complete Is the Illusion
that Christie adom represents the throne
and govern nent Of Messiah amongst
men, Anu, De it remembered, the vast
| majority in all the various sects and
| denominations Of Christendom are
worldly people who have no concep-
ton whatever of the true Church and
her cause. Their ambition Is to ap-
| proximate righteousness and form
Of godliness, but no more than this
seems to them necessary; more would
be irrational, unreasonable, since they
have not been begotten of the Holy
Spirit and therefore cannot appreciate
| things from the Divine standpoint.
| To them the fall of Babylon at first
work no real injury, because the reign
| of Babylon over the earth will be
superseded by the reign Of the New
Jerusalem-the Kingdom of Gods dear
Son. The most sanity of Gods people
will hear the voice of Divine COM
mand, Come out of her, My people"
and will obey It before the fall comes;
but large number, even of the Lords
people, lacking courage, will share
with Babylon the troubles Of that hour.
Subsequently, however, they will
rejoice and be glad when they realize
| the justice of the Divine execution
against Babylon, and to them will
| come, as an inferior company, an In
| vitation to attend the marriage supper
| Of the Lamb" Their honorable posi-
| ton will be that of bridesmaids to
the still more faithful and courageous
little flock" who will be accounted
worthy to be the Bride class and to
| sit with the Redeemer in His throne.
Then speedily will follow the long
| promised Times of Restitution to the
world Of mankind, for which we pray,
| ''Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
on earth, as 1t is done In heaven"
"Thy Kingdom Come"
AS God and His glory and honor are
| to be first in the minds of His children,
so their next thought should be for the
glorious Kingdom. which He has prom
| ised shall bless the world. However
much our own personal interests and
affairs may be pressing upon us, and
however much we may desire to have
| the Lords blessing and guidance in
| them, they are not to outrank our ap-
probation of His beneficent arrange
ments which He has so clearly prom
| Used In His Word. We are to remem-
| Der that the Kingdom. when it shall
| come, will be panacea for every ill
| and every trouble, not only for us, but
| for the whole world of mankind. We
are not, therefore, to permit our own
| personal needs to be too prominent,
| but are to remember that the whole
creation is grooming and Travelling In
| pain together, waiting for this glo-
| rious Kingdom and the blessing upon
all the families of the earth, which our
Heavenly Father has promised shall
yet come through the Seed of Abraham.
| This thought respecting the King
| dom, it's necessity, and the blessings
that it will bring will keep prominently
before our minds our own high calling
| to joint-heirship with our Lord in this
| Kingdom. And in proportion as that
| hope is clearly before our minds it will
| be, as the Apostle explains, as IAN an
| Choir to our souls, sure and steadfast.
| {n&0 foh ic,x ho
vail" This anchorage of hope in the
| future, in he -ingdom, will enable
us to pass s.. r1'v, and with compare
| tive quiet, throL. IN the trials and
storms and difficulties of this present
| evil world. More than this, our
thoughts respecting the Kingdom will
remind us that IL we are to be heirs of
the Kingdom it will be necessary that
we have the appropriate discipline and
| training.
Done In Heaven"
This petition offered from the heart
| implies that the one offering 1t has
made a full conservation of his will,
| his heart, to the Lord and that as he
| hopes for the Kingdom by and by to
come and subdue all unrighteousness
and to establish the Divine will from
sea to sea, and from pole to pole. s5c
now, the petitioner. being thus In DC
cord with the Lords will, and thus
wishing that 1t might be universally
In control, will see to it that this viii
| Is ruling In his own heart-that In his
own Affairs Gods will is done to the
best OF his ability In his earthly con-
| dition, even as he hopes to have 1t
perfected in the Kingdom. No one
can intelligently and honestly offer
this petition and not desire and en-
deavor to have the Lords will done In
himself yvh.,e on earth. Thus bless
