for he is a liar and the father of it"
John S:44.) Pastor Russell said:
We all know that the holy angels of
Heaven are free from the blights
which cause sorrow on earth. In
Heaven there is no signing, no crying.
no dying, no sickness, no heart-aches.
no headaches, no insane asylums, no
funerals, no doctors. On earth these
things are so familiar that many as
sumo that they always have been and
always will be. And yet without a
question we all acknowledge that the
same God who made such a splendid
provision for the angels Is the God of
humanity. our Maker. Why should
He have done so differently with two
creations of His own family-His own
creatures, His own children?
The Bible explains that the reason
for the difference between Gods treat
ment of mankind and His treatment
of the angels is that the human family
became sinners. depraved. alienated
through the disobedience of Father
Adam; that the entire race of Adam
is mentally, morally and physically
impaired; and that these impairments
are all incidental to the curse. or pen

Eve that God. who cannot lie, had

man could not die; that he had some
inherent life that even God Himself
could not Interfere with. He persuad-

Jesus the Life Giver.
Before considering the murderer and
his fate. let us glance at the murdered
race, which now has numbered approx
imately twenty thousand millions of
souls. They are all dead or dying.
There is no hope for them except in
God. Has God a gracious provision.
and if so. what Is it?
The Bible assures us that God is
very compassionate. and that He so
loved the world as not to wish them
to perish like the natural brute beast
He therefore gave His Son, that all ex
ercising obedient faith in Him might
be saved from perishing and might at
tain everlasting life. We must not
overlook the fact that. as we We're not
sentenced to eternal torment. neither
did God provide redemption from
eternal torment. The death penalty on
humanity would have reduced our race
to the same condition as the brute: for
a dead man would have had no su-
periority over dead beast But here
