The Valencia, which is n Of the
finest theatres in the West, will be,
what might be called for the present,
the home Of the PHoTo-DRAMA on the
Coast. The DRAMA will be produced
daily, both afternoon and evening.
Parts I. and II. were run today; parts
III. and ". next, and 80 on.
The elite of the city were we'll rep
resented. Reserved seats (which, by
the way, are free to all these exhibit
tons, and no collections) were soon ex-
hausted.
It is unquestionably true that Pas
tor Russell has brought to the Coast
the finest collection OF, motion.pictures
and slides ever shown here, and a long
run will follow. About $4,000 people
now attend the PHoTo-DRAMA OF Ore
ALTON daily. The Gospel lis being

a long-felt want is being supplied.
In his syndicated sermon In the fore
noon Pastor Russell's subject was
quite appropriately Great Feast for
a Famished World" It is believed
that his audience agreed. His text
was:
And in this Mountain shall the Lord
Of Hosts make unto all people a feast
of fat things" isaiah $3.50 He said:
Throughout the prophetic Scriptures
the word Mountain is used as the sym
Dol Of a kingdom. Earthly governments
are represented as mountains and hills,
while the Lords Government Is repre-.
sented as being established "in the top
of the mountains 1t Is this Noun
tain, or Kingdom of God, which is re-
ferred to In our text. It has not yet
been established in the earth, and
hence it's blessed work has not yet
been realized. We still properly pray,
'"Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done
on earth, as 1t is done in Heaven"
True, a beginning has been made.
For more than eighteen centuries since
our Lords ascension and the bestow-
ment Of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost,
the Church has been in process Of Sc
lection, and the Church is sometimes
styled the Kingdom, because it's mem
bers when glorifed will constitute the
Kingdom class Ae Bride-who will
share with the Heavenly Bridegroom
the Kingdom honors and services for
the world. ...T
Tt is true, also, that u Lord Is ex-
allied a Prince and a Savior: and that
shortly. at His Second Advent, He Is
to take to Himself His great power
and reign as King Of kings and Lord
of lords. But He has not yet done
this. He declared at His resurrection,
"AII power in Heaven and in earth Is
given unto Me-" Vet He also in His
last Message to the Church distinctly
, pointed out that the time for taking
possession of His Kingdom was FIJI
ture; and that the time will surely
come when He will take unto Himself
His great power and reign, because the
time to reign will then have come
Revelation 11:17.
More than this. the signs of the
times, read In the light Of the Lamp OF
Truth. the Word of God. seem clearly
to indicate that the time is near al
hand for the setting up of Christ's
Kingdom. How glad we all should be
: What rejoicing it should u to the

the nations no more until its termina
