to send for copies Ct the Brooklyn h.5EIe, IN
which would lie found matter exposing Fas-
tor Russell and Russellism
When the basis of the Brooklyn Eagles mis-
representations is understood, then surely. no
fairminded man or woman would give weight
to its statements. The Eagle" began TO scream
when Pastor Russell endorsed and advocated
the sale of what Is called Miracle Wheat" a
wheat by the way, that was discovered by
Mr. stoner, virginfan and gentleman of
honor and good repute having the endorse

and this country. Because of the "Ea gle's mis-
representations. Pastor Russell entered suit
against it to the amount of 100000. The case
Is still pending.
In the meantime the Eagle" has estab

ponents of Pastor Russell. and Is endeavoring
to induce its constantly dwindlng coterie or
readers to feast upon the carron conceived IN
the imagnations OF few misguided creatures
who beyond all peradventure, Will repent in
sackcioth and ashes long when they realize
how sadly they have been duped by the great
adversary satan. into arraying themselves IN
opposition to one whose whole life has been
devoted to the service Of his Lord, and in the
blessing of his fellowmen
We pity those ministers ana clergymen. whose
system of theology is so weak that they must
resort to that last subterfuge of the demagogue,
and not the scholar, of indulging in personalt-
ties. Did not the Scribes and Pharisees of
old do so with Lord and his apostles? See

Laying aside the gross misstatements of the

Rev. b. Lacy Hoge's theology let note If it
is in accord with the teachings of the Bible.
Hogeism declares that the dead not dead
but are alive in Paradise. Satans lie is men
toned with the statement that death does not
mean the extinction of being But, Is not
this the very lie that satan told Eve. "Ye shall
