public thoroughfare 1t will be dis
tinctly different from the broad road of
the present, which is d0tDnt1drd one
The Highway will be an upioard walk
1t will be distinctly different also from
the nGrroto icGv and rugged path of the
Church Of the present time. Instead
Of being a rough. thorny way. beset by
trials and difficulties, liable to attacks
Of the world. the flesh and the Adver
sary, it will be the reverse of this.
No lion and ravenous beast will be
there. The beastly propensities and
appetites will no longer have power to
entrap, ensaare and devour the poor
human family All stumbling-stones
OF error will be cleared out of the way
whereas now the Christians pathway
is full Of them. Indeed, all of our six
hundred creeds are more or less stones
Of stumbling, more or less indicate the
doubt. perplexity and uncertainty inl
which Gods people have been travelling
We thank the Lord for the prospet
tive change to be brought in by Mes
siahs Kingdom. Satan will then be
bound and no longer allowed to plant
the seeds Of discord. strife. error, mis-
understanding of God. nor be permit
ted to water these seeds On the con
trsry. every influence then will be fiji
vorable. as now every influence is I'M
favorable. to those who would walk in
the path of justice. equity. righteous
ness.
Whittier will that Highway lead the
traveller. do you ask? Win it lead him
to the same glory. honor and immor.
tality to which the narrow path of sac
rifce and self-denial now leads the
consecrated people of God who walk
in the footsteps of Jesus? Oh. no. the
narrow path of sacrifice will then be
at an end, having accomplished the
purpose for which it was designed, or
permitted-the selection of the Bride
class, Messiah's joint-heirs, or Cabinet,
in His Kingdom.
The Highway which Messiah's King
dom will open up to all the children Of
Adam-to the nOn-elect-will lead them
back to perfection. When God made
Father Adam, He made him man. not
an GR0eI-an earthly being, not heGU-
earthly glory and honor. and set him
as king over the earth. its fish, fowl.
beasts. God changes not His purpose
Is the same today as In the beginning
For six thousand years God has al
lowed humanity to propagate and go
down into the sleep Of death, there to
await better time future. Meantime
God sent forth His Son and redeemed
mankind, and then glorified the obedi-
ent Savior. Since then, God has been
electing sanity few to be Messiah's
joint-heirs. The next thing in order is
the blessing Of all the remainder Of
Adams race by Restitution-restora-
ton to the earthly glory and honor
originally intended. but lost by sin and
redeemed at Calvary.
Let this thought come to our hearts
and minds as in the future we look al
the Union Depot and read the inscrip-
ton there: 1.-THE desert shall rejoice
and blossom as the rose" So doing
our hearts will be drawn nearer to the
Lord. Our increasing faith will make
increasing obedience more nearly pos
sible. And love for our Creator will
come In to sanctify our hearts and tc
assist us in showing forth the praises
Of Him who hath called us out Of dark
ness into His marvellous light.
The Prophet declares respecting the
hosts that will pass over the Highway
Of Holiness. that they are all the ran
somed OF the Lord-the redeemed
world of mankind He says, THE
ransomed Of the Lord shall be restor-
ed and come to Zion with songs and
everlasting joy upon their heads; they
shall obtain joy and gladness, and sor'
row and signing will fee away" And
Jesus adds that there shall be no more
signing. crying and dying, because all
the former things of sin and death
shall have passed away He that sit
teth upon the Throne shall make all
things new.-Revelation PA, 5.
Jesus Ransom For ALL
Once In our ignorance we supposed
that Jesus died only for the Church
that only the Bride class. the Little
Flock, were to be ransomed by the
precious blood Now we see different
ly-that Gods Love and the provision
He has made In Christ are world
wide We knew that the Scriptures
stated the matter broadly, but we look
ed through the narrow, spectacles OF
the creeds of the Dark Ages. Thus
we disregarded the words of the Apos-
tie, God will have all men
to be saved. and to come to the knowl-
edge of the Truth For there is one
God, and one Mediator between God
and men [mankindl, the Man Christ
Jesus, who gave Himself ransom f0f
all, to be testified in due time" Il
Timothy 2:4-6.) How strange that we
could have read these precious words
over and over again without seeing
their real import! How doubly strange,
when we so well know that few of
our friends, relatives and neighbors
belonged In any sense or degree to the
sanity Little Flock, the Elect!
How glad we are that In this Morn
ing time when the light is shining In
upon all subjects. and when all man
kind are learning to think more con
nectedly. we may enjoy the clearer
light of Gods Word 1t is so very
broad In one sense of the Word. and
yet SO very narrow, in another, that it

None but the sanity followers in the
footsteps Of Jesus can enter the King
dom class. Then the Wilderness of God
Mercy will operate, through the King
dom class on the spirit plane. to give
all humanity blessed opportunity to
come to knowledge Of God. As they
shall experience the blessings secured
for them through the Ransom for all, .
they win have the privilege of going

during the thousand years, to its end
The reward will be human perfection
