THE AGE.To-COME DOCTRINE

Considerable agitation is being oc.
casioned just now over the theories Of
one Pastor Russell, who with his asso-
ciates, is teaching through moving
pictures and by other alluring methods
that the world is about entering sin
less age with Christ as guide and ruler
of nations. The positions assumed are
being made TO appear plausible by ar
bitrary definitions of Scripture terms
in some cases, in other exigencies, by
uniting Scriptures having no logical
connection and at other junctures, dis
torting some of the plainest and
simplest declarations Of inspiration.
These are serious charges to bring
against Gods ministers. But the Word
Of God alone is truth. John XVlI-10.

to maintain that Gods positive design
is to have the world converted, and
that this can be done only through the
personal presence of Christ among
men, and that the prime object of his

work. How blind not to see that this
