FROM ONE OF OUR OLDEST AND
BEST FRIENDS.

Dear Friend: Standing almost
alone fighting for thousands, yea,
tens of thousands, against that mon
ster beast that great city Babylon,
that has lived and thrived upon de-
ception and the blood of the Right
eous, who has corrupted all nations,
made and unmade kings, that has
been made drunk on the blood of
saints, and is followed by millions,
boast of her strength bowed to by
a million heirs and Presidents and
Kings. She has murdered the
prophets and apostles. She has MUIR
dered millions and shed the blood Of
the noblest souls on earth. She has
her merchandise of office and it's
sought after by Presidents. Oh, how
they crouch down at her affairs and
beg for her power to help them!
They promise and give in exchange
the best places in the Nation. They
honor her far above all other cities,
but, dear Tom, the victory is yours.
No doubt you are a chosen vessel
called Of God for the purpose Of over
throwing that great city, for God
has decreed her fall-her utter de-
struction. Yes, in one hour the
mighty Babylon, that great city, the
who're, the mother of harlots that
has committed her whoredom with
all nations, shall fall to rise no more.
The merchantmen who have gone to
her for their merchandise and have
grown rich through her have bar
tered of the nations prosperity for
her vote, shall see her destruction
and wall, cry, and weep, saying:
Babylon, that great city where we
got our merchandise, our vote, is fall
len, and for fear of her destruction,
her burning, keep at distance"
She shall be as a great stone cast in
to the sea, to rise no more, and your
scribe thinks the hour of her de-
struction will be the hour that you
make your defense in Macon. l shall
listen for chug, and watch the roll
ing waves that shall burst upon the
furtherest shores. Noble soul, we
have got only one Tom Watson.

is indicat d by the setting. We read:
"When the Son of Man shall come In
His glory. ard all h holy n als
with Him, then shall H, sit upon the
throne OF His glory; and before Him
h be gathered all people; and He
shall separate them one from another,
as a shepherd divideth his sheep from
the goats" (Matthew, 25;?1-32.) An
other Scripture assures us that when
the Redeemer shall appear in glory,
HIS church will app ar with Him, for
the accomplishment of the blessed
thir.gs foretold respecting that glori-
Gus kingdom and It's wor's IF blessing
all the families Of the earth.
The Lords sheep of the millennial
age will be the willing and obedient,
who rejoice to be in harmony with
God. These will be gathered to the
right hand Of the king-the place of
favor. The goats, correspondingly, are
placed on the left hand-Messiah's
disfavor, because OF their persistnrra
in Waywardness so well Illustrated by
the goats Maynard disposition.
At the close Of that thousand-yea,
day Of blessed opportunities the whole
world of mankind will be found in
either one class or the other. Then will
come the final settlement. The day
of Christ is divinely appointed for the
putting down of sin in It's every form,
n the death, destruction OF all who
love or spmpathiZe with sin-Satan
n all other hayward ones.
Jesus said to some in His day: Eye
are Of your father, the devil. for his
work We do" The goats will be of Sa-
tan's company, because, like him, they
choose the way of sin and opposition
to God. truth and righteousness. Our
text might be more literally rendered:
These (Satan and his followers, in
Guiding the goats" of the parable)
shall &c away into everlasting cutting
sheep Of the parable), shall be
ushered into life everlasting.
The Lord does not say that either
Satan or the goats will be sent tc
everlasting torment, but into ever
lasting MISUNDERSTANDING death
"a death from which there will be nc
resurrection. They shall perish like
natural brute beasts.-2 Peter, Pip.
The Greek word here rendered pun
ishment is kolasin. which means prun-
ing. as a ~husbandman prunes the dead
wood from his orchard or vineyard
So Satan and all his hosts will be cut
off finally from Gods blessings, ant

Another use Of the word kolasin In
classic Greek is to restrain; as, "tht
charioteers restrain (kolasin) their
fiery steeds." SO God, through Christ

Pastor Russell had crowds to hear
him at Worcester, Mass. He spoke
twice. We report his discourse from
the text: These shall go away into
everlasting punishment; but the
righteous into life eternal."-Matthew,
25:46.
The speaker approached his subject
reverently, declaring that all man
kin recognize two great facts: %
that all are sinners, imperfect, will
lingly or unwillingly; and CD that all
realize the propriety of a just penalty
for sins in proportion to their wilful-
ness, knowledge being a prime factor.
All this can be admitted even by those
who deny that We have in the Bible
an inspired message telling us the or
igin of sin, it's penalty and the condi-
lions governing the divine judgment
of sinners.
He would not indulge in specula-
lions, but he would stand by the
Word of God. If we have a message
from the Creator on the subject of
sin and it's punishment, none should
either take from nor add to that
testimony. He believed, however. that
our forefathers had added to the Word
of God without realizing 1t.
Many hold that in by gone days Chris
tian people, in their anxiety to fright
en- their felloW-men into church mem
bership, SO exaggerated Gods Word
that they foiled their very purpose of
helping the ungodly. Many upright
people, nauseated at the distorted mis-
representations of divine justice, have
thrown away the Bible as well as the
creeds and are h~earkening to higher
criticism. evolution, new thought. spir-
> itism. etc. Hence the usual small
congregations of these thinking men
