PASTOR RUSSELL'S LAST SERMON
Continued from page 81

Continued from page 81
156 bushels of corn have been raised
to one acre, and that 600 bushels o.
potatoes and over are not an uncom-
mon record. Is not the Bible being
fulfilled? Who can dispute these
facts? What do they signify? We
answer that they exactly corroborate
the Divine declaration which des-
cribes our day: Many shall run ~
and fro; knowledge shall be increas-
ed the wise of Gods people shall
understand; and there shall be a
Time of Trouble such as never was
since there was nation 'TADapiel

Increase of Worldwide Discomfort.
We are in the Morning of our text.
All, what a glorious Morning! How
changed the human conditions from
those of our grandfathers! How
| thankful the whole world should be!
Paeans of praise should be ris-ng
| from all the people of the favored
lands of civilization; and helping
hands should be out-stretched to car
ry the same blessings to heather
/ lands. But is it so? Are the people
! happy and rejoicing? Are they APP
preciative Of the New Day?-of the
gifts of Divine Providence?
No! In proportion as the bles-
sings of God have come, the discon-
tent of humanity has increased; ari
unbelief, not only in respect to to-
Bible as the Divine Revelation, but
in many instances in respect to the
very existence of an intelligent Gre
ator. Notwithstanding the great in
crease in the worlds wealth, and
The fact that there are some noble
souls who are using their share OF
The wealth in praiseworthy man

ton Of the law OF selfishness prevails
and all the legislation which has been
enacted, or which can be enacted
fails to restrain the giant institu-
tions-corporations-of our day
fails to hinder them from the eX-
plotting of the masses in the inter
ests of the comparatively few.
Did God know all these things?
What will He do about them? vii

According to the Bill lie, God fore

phet, God tells of the Dark Nigh
