PASTOR COOKE

ANSWERS CHALLENGE.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: The offer of debate made by h. j.
Patterson in THE EVENING JOURNAL
of December p is noted. That is fine.
An old-fashioned debate on the merits
of Russellism would be interesting and
Illuminating. Mr.. Patterson is to be
commended for his courage. admire
the stand he has taken, and hope he
will have the pleasure of witnessing the
debate. II is time some one spoke up
from the camp of Russell. l am de-
lighted at the prospect of a public de-
bate. and hope that nothing will prevent
this matter coming to an issue.
In arranging for a public debate it Is
important that the terms Of the debate
be fully understood and agreed to by
both parties 10 the conflict. Let us see
if we can come together on terms.
am willing TO debate with Mr.. Russell
or with anyone whom he may choose. 1
will agree TO a discussion that shall con-
tinue for three meetings, each side to be
allowed one hour at each meeting. The
public should be freely admitted TO the
meetings.
What shall be the subject of debate
/ propose that the discussion shall be on
the basis of my former challenge to Mr..
Russell, or on the basis of the resolu-
tions adopted by the Ministerial Union
of Wilmington. In my challenge to Mr..
Russell | said: GAS the community has
had ample opportunity 20 learn the
views of Pastor Russell, and il is only
reasonable that intelligent people should
hear both sides Of "a question, / hereby
challenge Pastor Russell TO public de-
bate in this city at such time and
place rs may be arranged. In this de-
bcte shall prove O) that the published
views of the said Pastor Russell in ref
erence to the future life are unsafe and
unsound; ~ that his millennium is a
! delusion and a snare, and (3) that he
! perverts the Scriptures In order TO de
ceiye the people" In that challenge
l there are three definite propositions
that go TO the very heart of the subject
as every intelligent person can readily
see.
If that is not satisfactory, we might
agree on the following taken from tn,
resolutions adopted by the Ministerial
Union; "Resolved, That we, the Minis
terial Union of Wilmington, Delaware
composed OF NuIllHltic hi lue NdilOU
Christian churches, deem it our duty 4
inform the public that the said Russell
is unworthy of the confidence of tn
people and that his pretended devotion
TO the Scriptures is solely for the pur
pose of gaining the confidence of Chris
tians. His interpretations of Scriptm
are fanciful and absurd, and dishonest
he twists the Word of God to his owl
ends without reference TO the conteN
and TO the natural meaning. In hi
books he has predicted the beginning O
the glorious reign Of Messiah in tn
wear 1914, and now, in effect he repu
dates his own prophesy, and boldly al
tempts to bolster up his reputation a
prophet by falsely claiming that
has predicted this European war fo
forty years.
If the charges as contained in tn
challenge OF in the resolutions are tru'
it must follow that the disciples of Pa
tor Russell have been misled by one VIII

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-I was very much pleased to
note your attitude as expressed in the
Dec. Z issue of your valuable paper.
II shows an independence and
raight-forwardness Of character
which are sorely lacking az the pre-
sent day, and therefore should be
doubly appreciated.
It seems almost incredible that in
this age OF liberty CD men should
even try to coerce public opinion. es-
pecially along the lines Of religious
thought and personal convictions
concerning things OF such moment
as the eternal destiny Of each one
involved But so 1t is, nevertheless.
and while these unwarf anted efforts
may do some harm, they undoubtedly
do much good II for no other reason
than that they show the true worth
Of the real man and awaken people
to think for themselves.
II our Lord should come back as
He came at first, and teach the same
doctrines in the same quiet, forceful
manner, regardless OF the "Scribes
and Pharisees," / very much fear
He would be cruclned anew by the
ones who imagine they would be so
glad to see Him. But He will beg
Of no man mercy nor will He be the
poor. sad martyr any more; on the
other hand, every knee shall bow
and every tongue shall confess thai
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory o.
the Father" Phil. 2:10, II.
