Bride. the Church, in Heavenly glory.
for the ruling! blessing and uplifting
of mankind
Truth Discerned Aids Faith.
As We gradually come to realize that
we are living in the dawninS Of the time
for the long-promised blessing, the "a b.
bath Day of earth, when the curse shall
roll away. it gives us fresh interest in
all the affairs of the present life, as well
as in those features of the Divine Plan
which are yet future. The knowledge
makes life worth living. Millions Of pco-
pie live a treadmilI existence. unworthy
Of themselves and joylcss. because they
have not come into the family of God
and have not been taught TO understand
the deep things of His gracious purposes.
The first step is an acknowledgment of
the Creator and a conservation of life to
Him. and then an application OF our
hearts to know His will that We may do
it. One day of such living is worth more
than a year of the aimless meanderinS
common to the masses. All who have
entered into this blessing should rejoice
/ therein. All who have not should seek
the Door. Christ, and be glad TO walk
into grace and peace Divine

We may indeed rejoice in the lesseninG
of the sweat of face coming to mankind
in the dawning of this New Day. We
may indeed rejoice in the greater spread
of knowledge to every class. We may
indeed rejoice in the more comfortable
housing. feeding and clothing Of our
race. We may indeed praise the day
which is ushering in these blessings and
which. through irrigation canals ana

complish for ourselves. We need an out

Our blessings thus far are not drawing
the masses nearer to God-not making

All who have suffered for righteous

Death will b" more than compensated
therefor in the blessings and joys OF the
New Dispensation. The glorious Divine
character will be made manifest not only

Gods Love. Justice. Wisdom and Power
may then be seen by all: whereas today
mems minds are becloudcd by the error
instilled by the Prince of Darkness.
What a glorious contamination is he

human possibility in perfection see

the image of his Creator. and the earth
was provided to be his everlasting home
The curse that mas rested upon the earth
and its king has brought to both angels
and men valuable lessons. which perhaps
could not have been learned under any
other process of instruction The result
will be glorious. There shall he no more
curse there. nor sorrow nor pain. nor
any more dying: for all the things of
sin and death shall have passed away.
