HUMOR OF the DAY
Too Positive a Cure.

Even a Connecticut farmer can make
mistake. One of them did when he
became over enthusiastic In his con.
versation with the top door girl. The
top door girl had engaged board at the
farm for three weeks, but before she
had been there three days she ap

farmer, "Aren't things as represented"
"Y-y'yes" said the top floor girl, 81

E!set to Bless the Non. EIeot.

At this point Pastor Russell struck
to the root of his subject, He pointed
out the almost complete failure to rec
ognize the great "Divine Plan of the
Ages"-hidden for 1000 years-and In
the days of the Apostles made known.
He recognizes that God is now con-
Quoting an Election according to 1T
ness, and that after this He will use
the Elect In the work Of blessing the
non-elect.
The followers Of Jesus are not at lib
ertv to adopt theories, either Of their
own or those Of others in respect to the
way in which the great work Of uplift-
ing the world is to be accomplished.
They are cOlaborers with GOd-and not
with men.-Il. Corinthians vi, l.
Pastor Russell then proceeded to out
line the Divine Plan as recorded in the
Scriptures. He showed that Gods pur-
pose Is, first, to select the Church, and
then to uplift all those of the non-elect
awaiting the summons to Come forth
- to resurrection by judgment"
for there shall be a resurrection Of the
dead, both of the just and Of the un.
just. Acts xiv, 10; John Y, %, 20,
r. v.
The resurrection by judgment win
prove to be successful beyond the fond.
est hope In proof of this we have, for
instance, the Scripture, when the jadO-
ments Of the Lord shall be in the earth
the inhabitants Of the world t0ill learn
righteousness"
The greatest perverslon Of the Gospel
Of Christ is the Gospel Of PurgatOry
and eternal torture. And the Gospel Of
Faith Healing is opposed both to the
letter and spirit Of Jesus teachings.
Not one Of the Lords disciples nor
Prophet was healed mlraeuously.
The miracles which Jesus performed
were upon outsiders and were but II.
lustrations OF how He and His Elect. in
Kingdom glory, will In the coming Age

TWO-THIRDS RULE
No Talk of Change Has Reached
Ears of Democratic Chairman

The democratic national COM
mittee gathering in Baltimore last
Friday expressed the opinion that
NO moves would be made to abro-
gate either the unit rule or the
rule that provides a two-thirds
vote is necessary for nomination.
No intimation came to me"
said National Chairman Norman E.
Mack, that any movement to do
away with the unit rule or the two
thirds rule is proposed, and as those
are questions which first have to
come before the national committee,
it is likely ! should know about it if
there is any intention to do away
with them. The two rules will un-
doubtedly continue in force during
the coming convention"
While no definite time is fixed for
presentation of contests, it was
learned but few minutes would be
given to each side in any contest
The committee expects to finish all
of them inside of two hours.

INSCRIBED to all true lovers of lberty.)
Great chieftan of our glorious cause,
How will the future ages pause;
From the magic of thy great name,
Written on the pages of fame;
Such deeds as thine were not born to die,
Or, in the lands unheeded lie,
But adown the decades Of time,
Heralds shall sing in ev'ry cline,
Where'er the voice of liberty rings,
The joys of heart, which freedom
brings.
While grandsires shall tell to the young,
Thy matchless deeds, now half un-
sung;
And when the tyrant's heel shall grind,
With heavy tread on those so blind,
Who, for the Filthy lucre, /" sold
Their birthright, for the gilt ring
gold.
They, too, shall join in notes of praise,
With those who fought for freedom s
ways,
In peans of triumphant song
To him, who ne e'er upheld the wrong.
