The photo-drama of Creation which

weeks at the Princess closed last
night. Pastor James II. Cole of Cleve-
land, o., gave the closing address, IL
Illustrated with some of the most beau
tiful uncolored films selected from
the drama. Many are the favorable
comments that have been heard on
every hand respecting the drama,
which is the greatest religious produc-
ton of pictures ever attempted.
The subject of Pastor Goes lecture
last night was Pastor Russell's
Teachings Examined The speaker
explained that the reason he chose
this topic for his subject was not
only because we have Pastor Russell
to thank more than any other person
for the privilege of witnessing with
out cost this wonderful series of lee
lures and pictures from which so
much valuable Bible knowledge has
been acquired by hundreds of our
citizens who have witnessed 1t, but
also because these teachings are
scriptural, always having thus
saith the Lord for their support.
The speaker referred to the enor-
nous expense these teachings are
being circulated and examined by peo-
pie throughout the world That Pas
tor Russell's Studies in the Scrip
lures rank third in the worlds litera-
ture, there being bit two other books
the world has ever known which have
exceeded it in output, namely, the
Bible and the Chinese almanac. The
circulation having now reached more
than seven million copies, and are
being put into the hands of the pub
lie in twenty different languages at
the rate of two thousand copies per
day Millions of pages Of free litera-
ture are given away every year. Pa
tor Russells sermons now appear in
two thousand newspapers in our land,
reaching, it is estimated, about
twenty million readers.
Pastor Cole said, in the limited
time at his disposal, he could briefly
touch but a few Of the most impor-
tant points of these teachings, the
first of which is Pastor Russel's con
ception of God. That the idea that
God is simply principe, or as some
express it, God is Good and Good is
God" was very unscriptural. That he
is a living Being, the supreme, intelli-
gent, Divine Creator. and that when
we pray Our Father etc, we are
addressing one who hears.
That the Bible is the inspired word
of God in which we can put explicit
confidence and trust, and from which
we can secure faith that will not
shrink.
That the object God had in creating
man in the beginning, in His own
image and likeness, and placing him
on the earth in the Garden of Eden
was not to take him to heaven later
If he proved worthy, not to take him
anywhere rather that he might re-
main on the earth as its monarch to
enjoy an eternity of bliss and happi-
ness, with nothing to mar. Adam,
however, broke the conditions upon
which he had received the gift OF
eternal life, FORGETTING everything, the
loss being sustained as well by the
whole human family. by the dis
obedience OF one man sin entered the
world, in whom all have sinned and
so death passed upon all men.
Death, therefore. the speaker de-
clared, was the penalty for sin, not
withstanding what others may say to
the contrary that it is eternal tor
ment, for the word Of God must stand,
At is again simply stated "the wages
OF sin is DEATH"
Every educated Bible student
knows that there is but one Hebrew
