up the broken-hearted, to declare the
acceptable year and the opening of the
prison doors.
But the work in the present time is
restricted. Not all could possibly be
blessed now-and the elect must have
an ear to hear and must be drawn
of the Father" and must walk in the
Masters footsteps and thus become
copies of Gods dear Son. This is the
only work thus far, and it is not to the
world, but to the few who have the
hearing ear and who leave the world
to become followers of Jesus.
1.-THE High Calling In Christ"
The Bible declares that now God is
sending forth a high calling in
Christ" Those called during this Cos
pei Age are called to walk in Jesus
footsteps as saints, presenting their
bodies living sacrifices" suffering with
their Master and for his cause The
promise to all these is that, if faith
full, they shall share with the great Re
deemer his Messianic Throne which is
yet TO bless the world To this Bride
class the Redeemer win be the Bride
groom, Lord and Head. Sharing his
sufferings they will share his exalta-
ton to the divine nature and its glory.
honor and Immortality And these will
participate in the glorious Messianic
work soon to begin.
"Let God Be True"-others Liars.
If evangelists and others would
preach this narrow way Of the Cos
pei of Christ, how we would rejoice
with them, and how soon would the
true knowledge of Gods love spread
over the world and appeal to the hearts
Of all. How gladly we would have
them join us in this message and In
the further message that Gods Plan
in the next Age will reach Adam and
all of his posterity-"every man." Just
and unjust-living and dead! They
should be told of the Times Of Resti-
tuition that are nearing. They
should be advised that If they neglect
the "high calling" the election now
in progress, they will, nevertheless,
have responsibility and be liable for
stripes or punishments, in proportion
as they know right from wrong and
wilfully do the wrong.
What we plead for is that the edu-
Gated ministers and laymen should
cease to do evil, cease to misrepresent
and traduce our gracious Creator. We
warn them that he will not hold guilt
less those who take his name IL vain
will not hold guiltless thoso who afro
ciously malign his name.
The Great Revival Coming.
AS for methods for the calling of the
select in this Age, we urge that
neither we nor others are wise enough
to improve upon the methods and prac-
tees of Jesus and the Apostles. We
urge that any deviation from their
Gospel of good tidings Of great joy
for all people" must be injurious We
urge that we of today should preach,
as st. Peter did at Pentecost, not only
of the thigh calling" of the Church,
but also of the worlds blessing-"Times
of Restitution of all things which God
hath spoken by the mouth Of all the
holy prophets since the world began"
(Acts iii, 1929.
We urge that such Il general presen-
tation of Divine Justice would appeal
to all true hearts and heads in the
present time much better than any
"expediency" preaching and prepare
all mankind the better for the future
as well as for the present life.
The great revival of religion will
come to the world Immediately follow
ing the great true of trouble with
which this Gospel Age is shortly to
end Then, under the blessing of Mes
siah's Empire, all the ignorance and
superstition and misrepresentation of
God and of his Plan will flee away be-
fore the presence of the Sun of Right
| eousness, which will illuminate the
| world
Then will come Gods time for bless
| ing the world His Kingdom, estab-
lished in the world with power and
great glory, will rule it with rod Of
iron, compelling prompt obedience to
the Divine Law, both in letter and in
spirit The ohedient win be helped
upward and will progress step by step
to perfection, while the rebellious,
after proper testing and provings,
will be destroyed from amongst the
people"-in the Second Death"
Why should we not tell the people
plainly that there is q special SILVA
ton now in progress and that COM
mon or general one will follow for the
non-elect? Why not explain to them
the great reward of the present time
joint-heirship with Messiah in the
Kingdom for which we pray, 'Thy
Kingdom come; thy will be done on
earth as in heaveng" Why not ex-
plain to the world that restitution is
the portion of all who do not choose
to sacrifice, but that, according to their
present course, upward or down ward,
will be their standing furthermore
or less disapproved and requiring
more or less of chastisements or
stripes, difficulties, for their extrica-
ton, for their uplifting.
Much better could we understand
the giving of money to tell mankind
the Truth and TO glorify the name of
our God and our Redeemer But we
are totally at loss TO comprehend the
attitude of those who give time and
money for a little outward show and
the grievods inward injury to tt
many through a misrepresentation of
their Creator and his Word.
To the ut-of-Church millions whom
I address through the newspapers
weekly l suggest that the power of
the Truth is love, and that faithful
ness to our Lord and to his Message
In the Bible are the two greatest priv
ileges that could possibly come to any
of MS. and that we should each and
all unite hearts and voices in SHOW
ing forth the praises Of him who has
called us ont of darkness into his mar
vellous light" Thus we nav be help
full to other wanderers seeking "the
