accomplish for ourselves. We need an
outside influence. an outside power
the very ole which the Word Of God
declares is about to take control-Mes-
siah's Kingdom.
Our blessings thus far are not draw
ing the masses nearer to God-not
making them more thankful, more
holy, more reverential. more loving.
On the contrary, we are becoming
more strifeful. more self willed, than
any previous generation-Iess inclined
as u world than yer before to worship
and reverence the God Of all grace
less inclined to believe that there Is
such a Being at all. At the present
rate Of growth of ir%reyerence. it would
seem as though the time might soon
come when no knee would bow and
no tongue confess. 10 the glory OF God
"As / Live. Saith the Lord"
But here We look to God to see what
provision File has made for present
conditions; and as we look. our hearts
are cheered. We have the Divinely
| solemn declaration that the full end of
the reign Of Sin and Death has come.
And we have outlined in Gods Word
proofs that we are now living In the
time when that new Reign Of Right
eousness shall be inaugurated. We
have prayed for 1t with more or less
Of faith all our lives: Thy Kingdom
come; Thy will be lone on earth. even

Permit not faith to let go her hold;
the Word Of God cannot fail. AS He
Is bringing to Us the temporal bless

who has begun the good work Is able

aud has sworn to this Promise. that all
the families Of the earth shall be bless
ed In Abraham's Seed. surely we may
rely upon 1t. If we see at present only
the Spiritual Seei of Abraham In full
harmony with God through Christ. and
they not glori6ed. let US wait patiently
for the Lord, kno wing that He win full
al His promises In due time.
The Church, the Elect, are indeed the
Spiritual Seed Of Abraham. This class,
as the Bride of Christ. must be com
pleted and must be united "a. their Re.

direction before they will be qualiiied
to share with Him the great work OF
blessing the Natural Seed of Abraham
Galatians 9.S. 16, 20.
The completion and g~lorihcation Of
the Church will mark the time for tho
establishment OF the Messianic King
dom. Then will begin the pouring out
OF the Divine blessing and the removal
of the curse. Satan will be bound for
q thousand years. The knowledge of
God will gradually fill the whole earth.
The Natural Seed of Abraham will be
the first to receive the Restitution
blessings-to return to the image and
likeness OF God In the flesh, and to
have returned to them Paradise condi
lions and Divine favor. The ancient
sanity ones Of the Jewish race, we are
assured, shah be made princes In all
the earth for the correction Of their
brethren. Natural Israel, and for the
instruction and assistance of the PEG.
pie Of every nation, kindred and
tongue-the living and the dead.
Paradise Restored.
Rapidly the knowledge of the glory
Of God will ill the whole earth. Cor
rections In righteousness will be melted
put to all not doing their very best to
come into harmony with the Divine
Law. Blessed rewards of increasing
perfection OF mind and body win grad.

In that Day. The wilful evil-doers
shall be cut OF in the Second Death.
Then, as a result. before the thousand
years Of Messiah's Kingdom shall ex.
pire. every knee shall bow, to the glory
OF God.
Meantime. also, the blessings of Par
adise will be coming to the earth as q
whole. God will make the place Of
His feet glorious. isaiah 6O:13; 60:1.)
Jesus will see of the travail OF His
soul and be satisfied. isaiah 1910,
ID All those who have suffered fol
righteousness sake during the reign Of
Sin and Death will be more than com.
pensated therefor In the blessings and
joys OF the New Dispensation. The
knowledge of the glory Of God shall
ill the whole earth. The glorious Di.
vine character will be made manifest.
not only to angels, but to men. The
ininitude of Gods Love, Justice, Wis.
dom and Power may then be seen by
all; whereas today. under the reign Of
Sin inc Death, with minds beclouded
by the errors instilled by the Prince
OF Darkness, the opposite condition
darkness-coyers the earth, and gross
darkness the heather.
What a glorious consummation Is be
fore US! What lengths and breadths
of human possibility In perfection we
see with the eye of faith! Mar was
made in the image and likeness Of his
Creator, and the earth was provided
to be his everlasting home. The curse
that has rested upon the earth and its
king has brought both to angels and
to men valuable lessons. which per.
haps could not have been learned un.
der any other process OF instruction.
The result will be glorious, as de-
scribed by the Master Himself. There
shall be no more signing, no more
curse there, nor sorrow nor pain nor
any more dying; for all the things of
sin and death will have passed away.
He who sits upon the Throne will
make all things new. = Revelation
PA, 5.
The Prophet Isaiah declares that Je-
hovah will do these things. and that
every knee shall bow to Him and ev-
cry tongue confess. isaiah 1929 St
Paul applies this Scripture, and de-
ciares that 1t will be fulfilled through
Jesus, and incidentally 1t will be full
nlled by the Church through Jesus.
The thought is that In acknowledging
Christ and the Church and In bowling
to them. the world will be bowling to
Jehovah; for the Logos, Jesus. the
Redeemer. forever will be the Repre-
sentative Of the Father and His Pow
er. Hence all men should honor the
Son e as they honor the Father
mot honor the Son as the Father, but
as the Fathers direct Representative
Heir of all things.-John 5:23; He

The Elect Church Already Bows.
The elect Church Of the present time
already bows the knee to Jesus as the
representative OF the Heavenly Fa-
