Would SIN be sympathetic with SIM
would, according to the Bible. be I'M
worthy Of everlasting life. For the
Scriptures assure rs that death Is the
penalty for sin. that the soul that SIN
netl, must die. and that the gift Of
God Is eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord, which will be given only to
those wise enough and loyal enough to
use It in accord with the great Gre
ator's regulations and laws. Trained for
the benefit Of His creatures and for
the glory ofsHis name.
4Havs Patience, !Rrethren.t
Those whose eyes Of understanding
are gradually opening to see the real
glory OF Jehovah's character as re-
fected in His great Plan Of the Ages
may we'll have patience with others
who see not as yet. The fact that our
own eyes we're 50 long in opening, the
fact that we were as honest and sincere
before as we are now, should lead us
to assume that the same conditions APP
ply to our brethren, professed people
OF God, everywhere. Moreover. We are
not to be Judges one Of another Pro
claiming the Truth in as nearly us
possible the Bible words, we are to be
content to deliver our Message and to
leave to the Lord the results.
1t is ours TO point out the horrible
confusion into which the Lords people
got during the Dark Ages, and which
justified the Lord in calling the nomt-
nal church Babylon. 1t is ours to
polnt out the Message of the Lord,
saying, Babylon is fallen. is fallen
from Divine favorl! Come out OF
her. Ny people, that We be not partak-s
ers of her sins, and that We receive not
of her plaques" Whoever sees that
the. entire nominal church. system OF.
all denominations is the Babylon re-
ferred to by the Lord has the respon-
sibillty of the Lords Message without
any urging on orr part.
Whoever sees the blasphemy Of tile
Holy Name sees that misrepreSenta-
ton Of the Divine Plan. making the
world drunk with the wine Of false
doctrine. has been amongst the crimes
OF Babylon, and should wish forthwith
to come out of her, to share no longer
In her Misrepresentation. however
much blended with forms Of holiness.
Whoever. after seeing the real char
acter of Babylon and the horrible work
which Satan has deluded her into do
ing. still has sympathy with her and
with her work and with her blasphe-
mics and distortions Of the Truth
such persons deserve to share In the
confusion that Is shortly to come to
Babylon when she shall fall as n great
milestone into the sea.
"LiGht Is sown for the righteous;
Truth for the upright in heart" Those
who do not receive the Truth as meat
in due season have reason to fear thai
they do not belong to the class de
scribed by the Prophet as the right
eous and as the upright in heart. Hon
esty seems to be quality which the
Lord holds In very high esteem. The
dishonest IN word or conduct or in
their thoughts are an abominatIon to
Him. and should not expect to receive
special favor or light or knowledge.
We may well imagine that the entire
Millennlal Age will be one grand
Thanksgiving Day, in which the num-
hers who will praise God will be con-
tinually increasing, as more and more
they awaken from the tomb. As their
eyes shall see and their ears shall hear
Of the grace and love of God, every
tongue will confess. while every knee
will bow, not only to Jesus the Re-
deemer, but to the gracious Creator,
who formed the Plan which the Mil
lennium will execute.
Praise to God In Heaven and Earth.
The Master gives assurance that ultf-
mately there will be no place where
curses and bIasphemies will be heard
no place where rebels against God and
His goodness will remain. All such.
