Restlsutior viii Bring Real Paradise.
Much q your Island may resemble
the Garde Of Eden, 1t is not Paradise,
aud cannol be Paradise so long as you
have sin ana sorrow. pain and death
amongst you. One of the first objects
that greeted my sight as | landed was
your cemetery. and I said, Obi yes,
death is here, and ercryichere-God's
curse, declaring that no imperfect be.
ing may live. Well, thank God for
that, too. Centuries of life with imper-
fection would doubtless be too much
for us to enjoy. Far better is It as Di-
vine Wisdom has arranged tia birth,
struggle for existence, battle with
self and sin, the world. the flesh and
the Devil, and then a falling asleep in
death. until the morning of the resur-
rectton. There will be no conscious
ness Of even moments intervening
until the glorious day shall have dawn
cd, and the new order of things shall
have been introduced and established
and then the sleepers will come forth
to see brighter side than any that
they have previously experienced or
ever heard of.
The Kingdom of Gods dear Son and
His elect Bride will be in power and
nothing shall hurt or destroy in all His
holy Kingdom. The blessing of the
Lord shall be upon man, and his earth
ly dominion. Restitution influences
will be at work for the bringing of
everything TO rfection-especinlly for
the bringing of man up, up. up out of
sin. weakness, degradation and death
to the full glory of perfection of mind
and body and vitality-the image and
likeness Of God, as at first, before sin
entered.
Rich and Poor and Socialism.
You still have your rich and poor;
there still is caste amongst the chill
dren Of the one parentage: but when
the uplifting influences of Messiars
reign shall have done their work, these
things win oil be in the past. 'He that
sitteth upon the Throne shall say, "Be-
hold. make all things newt" In that
glorious time there will not be rich
aud poor. there viii be socialism in
the proper sense, as the Scriptures
clearly point out: they say, Every
man shall sit under his own vine and
under his own fig tree: and none shall
make them afraid" And again. "They
shall not build and another inhablt,
they shall not plant and another eat
the fruit thereof" There will be no
tenantry, no landlordism then.
DO not understand me to be melting
| dissatisfaction with the present condi-
tons. In many respects what we have
today is the very best possible thing
under present conditiOns-man's fallen
nature and selfish temperament taken
into consideration The counsel Of
Gods Word is that all who trust in
Him are TO wait for Him to bring in
the better conditions. Some very well
intentioned people are making a sad
mistake; just MS the morning is about
TO dawn-about TO bring in the great
blessings OF restitution, socialism, etc,
they blindly look in another direction
and declare that un,oas tEoy ,rl'r So

grant, indeed, that It voulG be foolish
to expect that The rlrh void ir'lg

The Bible alone shows us what will

The Bible tells that what will start us
socialism will eventually develop into
