vet. AS to Pastor Russell's character,
those who have Investigated the sland-
erous reports circulated against him
have found them to be false. He has
been proved innocent of every charge
and he is now doing the greatest work
of any living man. As John the Bap-
fist proclaimed the first advent of Jes-
us, Pastor Russell is proclaiming the
second. If people would only study
the Word of God and rightly divide
the word of truth, they would see
wonderful things. They would see
that we are living in the last days of
the Gentle times, the great war for !
which Europe has been drilling its ar
mics preparing its treasures and ar
maments, is shaking every nation of
the world, socially, financially and
politically. Strong as the nations are,
all tremble in dread at the results of |
the conflict now in progress. Only the
Bible can speak with authority in re-
spect to results. In the same breath |
it tells of disaster and blessing, disas
ter to the natioLs but ultimate bless
ings to the people thru the Kingdom
of Christ. We see from the viewpoint
of the Bible that the result of war will
lead to a period of anarchy, which will
wreck our civil governments and
cause time of trouble, such as has
never been since there was a nation,
Daniel 9-1), but we must look beyond
the dark cloud to the silver lining.
The ploughshare of trouble must level
sociey and prepare the people to ac-
cept the righteous kingdom, as we
lead, "When Thy judgements are a.
broad in the earth the Inhabitants of
the world will learn righteousness. ="
said l would not notice the Bla-
lock letters any more and did not in
tend to do so, and would not have
done so if he had attacked me only,
but l cannot stand by with folded
arms and see Gods precious truths
dragged thru the mire. As to the key
of knowledge, it was never taken from
God and he reveals His secrets to
those who love Him and seek to do
His will We must empty ourselves
of all that is sinful and worldly and
study Gods Word prayerfully and
humbly and we will be filed with the
Holy Spirit and greatly blessed and
the mystery of Gods wonderful plan
will be revealed unto us and we will
have an abundant entrance into the
but if we enter not in and
hinder those who would enter in, the
door will soon be shut, so let us be
up and doing Let US put on the full
armor Of God that we may be able to
resist the fiery darts of the enemy.
Gods prophecies are being fulfilled
very rapidly and we realize that the
time indeed is short. There must be
a time of outer darkness, weeping and
wailing and crashing Of teeth when
the bride has entered in and passed
within the vail. Then the glorious .
sun of righteousness will rise with 1
healing in His beams, and the high.
way of holiness will be opened and
even a fool shall not err therein.
