course h IN II Il sgss
Pastor Russell greatly enjoyed his
visit to the Chinese Paris. It was an
experience he had longed for from
childhood. Early in life be had In
CURED respecting the fate Of the
heather and had received the answer
that without faith it is impossible to
please God" and that there Is none
other Name given under heaven
whereby we must be saved than the
name Of Jesus. and through faith in 4
His blood. He then inquired the fate
Of the unsaved, and got the answer OF
Ill orthodox creeds, that such would
be consigned for all eternity to q
place where they would suffer inde-
scribable tortures.
Supposing that the Bible was the
foundation Of these creeds he aban-
doned the Bible, and for nearly two
years was on the sea of life with
ont chart or compass, seeking after a
true God not less noble and loving and
just than the very best Of His human
creatures.
Feeling sure that a wise, just, low
ing God, having made man with mem
tai capacity to appreciate Himself,
would make revelation of His char
acter and His purposes. he sought for
4 book containing such revelation Of
the Divine will as his heart and head
could accept. Having abandoned the
Bible. he sought the teachings Of other
sacred books Of the world. only to find
them still more disappointing.
Hungry Of soul, he returned to the
Bible, thinking possibly he had studied
Il before through the distorted spec
tacles Of human creeds. His fresh In
vestigations brought blessing! No
where had he found so glorious a rep
resentation Of the true, Divine charac-
ter as in Jesus and His teachings.
Truly, he said. Never man spake like
this manv' Finally he saw the great
difhculty which had blinded himself
and others to the Divine love and
gracious plan of the Bible.
The Resurrection Of the Dead.
This discovery was that the penalty
for sin is not everlasting torture after
death, and that the Bible does not so
teach It declares, 1.-THE wages of sin
Is DEATH '4The soul that sinneth, it
shall die" (Romans Vi. %; Ezekiel
XVIII, 90, He perceived that for six
thousand years the world has been suf-
fering the very penalty which God de-
clared to Adam, Thou shalt surely
die; I'm the sweat Of thy face shalt
thou eat bread. until thou return to the
ground from whence thou vast taken. =
He sought the Bible remedy for all
this and found that no remedy could
be applied only as the Divine sentence
should be settled for Adam by a sub
stitute that then only could the curse
be removed. In full harmony with all
this came the scriptural presentation
that the Only Begotten Son OF God
had left His spiritual plane of glory
and become Man. that He by the
4 grace OF God should taste death for ev-
cry man: Christ died for our sins.
