Pastor Russell Properly Ordained.


In an endeavor to intimidate their pto-
Tle. to hinder them from hearing me-
and from reading my books entitl,
STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES. the
preachers are going tU absurd lengths.
They have tried all kinds of slander and
vilihCatiOn. but still the common people
are hearing gladly IN all parts of the
world the Message Of tn, Bible-its ant
clerical message. Tn" preachers have
published me as "a heretic.' only to fiu1
that the most thoughtful and intelligent
Of their people realize that their creeds
are unsatisfactory and are the more
anxious TO know what have to tell them
respecting the Bible Message Of Gods

Let me make plain the subject OF min

Pastor passing from one denomination
to another is. therefore. properly reor-

authority to be = preacher for the Ordain-
ing sect. Certain VOWS OF ordination are
required befOre the ordination service
takes place. The vow is that they will

An occasional minister will be found IN

ed to be obedient only to such as recos-
nized the papaI power.
Thus the separation amongst Christ's
followers Of clergy and laity was estab-
lished for centuries before the Protestant
denominations Of today were born. II
was but natural that tho Protestants
should more or less copy the practices
and many OF the doctrines with which
they had been familiar from childhood.
The Greek-Armenian and Anglican
Churches copied very closely the mother.
They still preserve the likeness in many
respects, even though they came out Of
her as Protest-ants and have sought to
return to the Bible teachings and meth
ods But power and ceremony are diff
cult matters to get rid of. In consequence
We see everywhere forms Of godliness
without its power-much lip reverence
without much outward manifestation OF
the Spirit of Christ.
PrOtestants and ChrIst's Kingdom.
PrOtestants are much confused respect
ing the papal claim that Christ's King
dom has been set up. They of. course
deny that the POpes are Christs Vice
Gerent Nevertheless. they have followed
Papacy's lead in telling earthly kingdoms
and rulers that they are part and parcel
OF Christ's Kingdom-"ChristendO
They send their chaplains with the armies
and navies Of these kingdoms. They re-
ce.ve financial support and recognition
from them, and call upon the civil power
to suppress so-called heTetics, refuse
them license to preach, etc. They thus
follow closely in the footsteps Of their
mother. Altogether these false doctrines
are surely responsible. not only for many
wars of the past, but also for the present
European war.
We may ASSUME anna the clRF-
gy. Catholic and Protestant, are thor
Oughly confused and honestly doing what
they believe to be the Lords will in these
matters. But. on the other hand, We are
bound TO assume that in the light Of our
day there are thousands Of ministers who
are not deceived-who know full well that
the world is ruled. not By Christ and
His teachings, but by self-seeking kings,
princes. mobiles, finanCiers. politicians, etc.
But knowing these things. seeing the
people in ignorance, what have the min
isters OF so-caHed 'Christendom'' dore
to open the eyes of the people to the
truth on this subject-tO tell them that
these kingdoms are not Christ's king
dOms in any sense of the word? How
few of them ever even refer to the Sec
end Coming Of the RSdeemer. How few
Of them have ever pointed their people
to St Peters words respecting the
glorious Times of Restitution which Mes
siah's Kingdom will usher in:-Acts
3:l9-H
Policy, ss-f-seeking. lack of candor. are
certainly manifest in the course Of tn
preachers Of all denominations. Now

they deserve our sympathy. They have
held on SO long 10 the errors Of tn
past that they are ashamed now To turn

Trust Behind Tolls Exemption,

Advocates of the exemption clause in the Panama canal tolls law find all manner of excuses for having it retained in the measure. Some indulge in high sounding patriotic phrases, others make us of politics, by pointing to the democratic plat ! form of 1912-SOmc one thing, some another. At the bolton of it all, according to the St. Louis Dispatch, is the shipping trust. An analysis of the facts as they are and not as the trust would have them, shows this plainly, as the Dispatch points out:
 Il. The exemption of Amer ican coastwise shipping from payment of Panama Canal tolls is a subsidy estimated to be more than S1,OOO,OOO per year to the shipping trust which con trols the ships in that trade.
 "2. American ships not en- gagged in coast wise trade are not granted an exemption; they and all other vessels of every kind and nationality excepting only the shipping trusts coast wise ships, are required to pay a reasonable fee for the use of the canal.
 '3. The American people have spent $4OO, ,OOO,OOO building the canal, and, must spend $12, 100000 g. year operating and defending it. The people have a right to charge all who use their canal fair fee, so that it's earnings may pay operating costs, and if possible pay off the construction bonds.
 "4. To grant one citizen, or any group of citizens, free use of the canal, while charging all others, is rank favoritism, other wise graft, like the granting of a free pass or a rebate.
 5. The shipping that has no more license to ask for a free pass through the Panama canal than it has to ask for free trans portation of it's goods across the itShmus on the peoples Panama railroad, or the free transmission of it's letters through the United States mails.'
