nett, foreman at the plant. was injured
Fire broke out, but was quickly brought
under control.
The only suggestion as to the explo-
sion being due to an outside agency came
in a rumor that one Of the guards on
duty watching the plant had started to
investigate noise which he thought had
been made by man climbing the fence
that surrounds the buildings. This re-
port was made by fireman. who said
he did not know the man who told him

Dear reader are you on this
way spoken of, "A way that
seemeth right, and the end there.
Of is the ways of death?" If
you are professor do you know
whether you are in the right
way that will take you into the
kingdom. For there is a thou.
sand different ways set forth to
get into the same heaven
The Methodist, the Baptist,
the Chris ian, the Catholic; and
the many more different beliefs.
And there is not one among
them chat can prove themselves
right. Only by their own say.

those which show up to be the
light of the world, and the
church of Christ is to show up
as the light of the world, please
read:

not be hid.
Neither do men light a candle
and pat it under a bushel, but on
a candlestick; and it giveth light
unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before
men that they may see your
good works and glorify your
Father which is in heaven.
(Mat. 5-14 -15-16.)
If Tie church today was a city
set on a hill that could not be
hid. Then every body could see
it-And Christ says this should
be done by letting their light
shine before men. so that they
could see their good works and
glorify God. For in this manner
they become the light of the
world. But where is this church
today? The world OF preachers,
will tell you that ne man knows
the day nor the hour wherein
the Son of Man cometh But
this is not the manner in which
Pau spoke, please read,

Paul tells US plainly that the

World's cresset. [volume] (JAH-ville [Colony], Fowler, Mo.) 1891-19??, 1916-06-08

Now Dear Reader, if that day is
hid to MS, we are not the child
rem of light, and cannot be a city
set on a hill. And Paul has said
TO the church, that We are not
the children Of the night, out
the children of the day. And
if we are in the darkness, then
we are in wav that seemeth
right and the end thereof is the
ways of death. For we find it
is written.
And Jesus answered him
saying 1t is written That man
shall not live by bread alone but
by every word of Cod"
Luke. 1 -4.)
We understand by this that
man lives not by bread alone,
but by every word of God, This
then compells US 10 learn every
word of God, if it lays in our
power. For Paul said.
For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ; for it is the
power of God unto salvation to
every one that belieyeth; to the
Jew first and also to the Greek,
(Rom. Icy
Yes Paul says that the gospel
Of Christ is the power of God
unto salvation, But if you did
not know the gospel of Christ.
that is every word of it, then
you are on the way that seemeth
right, and the end of thai way is
death, then our advise to our
Readers is, learn the perfect
way, that you may be the child
rem of light. So that, that day
will not overtaKe you as a thief
in the night. For the gospel of
Christ is the power of God unto
salvation. Are we to know the
gospel? Please read.
IF any man will do his will he
shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be God or whether |
speak of myself" ISL. john =

We find then that Christ said
that every one who do the will
of God, shall know of his doc.
trine, 1t is true there is a ques.
ton arises here that we will
d ecide later CD, in regard to
knowing all things,
But for the presant we shall
press or to see if we are in the
way that seemeth right, but the
eLd thereof is the ways Of death,
The next point is to see if
we are living according to the
gospel. So please read.
For I mean not that other
men be eased and We burdened;
But by an equality that now
at this time your abundance may
be a supply for their want that
their abundance also may be a
supply for your want that there
may be equality:" e Cor. 8-13
-14,)
Are you as~church members
living this kind of life?
Do you have equality among
you?
If you do not, I fear that you
are in the way that seemeth
right, and the end thereof is
death. For it is further written,

ing as he had need" (Acts 4-32
-35,)
Do you church members obey
this part of the gospel of Christ?
If you do not, just say that
you are on the way that seemeth
right-Yet you may say that the
lands, and the houses and goods
you possess, you earned them
yourself, that Ihey are your
own.
There is no mistake but what
the multitude that believed in
the days of the Apostles who
owned lands and houses could
have said the same, but that was
not the gospel of Christ. so thev
bad all things common and sold
their possessions and gave it, so
that every one should have as
they had need, Now church

those truths OF the gospel, and
we only live by every word of
Goa. And any other way is the
way that seemeth right. And
the end of that way is death. For
J Christ said.
Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have com
i handed you: and 10, I am with
you Away, even unto the end of
the world. Amen" MAT. 28-2O)
Yes al things which Christ
has com manded must be observ.
ed, Then the church of Christ
must have all things in common.
But the churches of to day will
not do this so they are on the
wav that see meth right. Do not
say you are christians after you
read those scriptures, or else
say l never knew the gospel of
Christ before and come right I'D
to the front, as they did in the
days of the Apostles, as Paul in
structed to have all things on an
eqality. Then your light will
begin to shine before men, and
they to will glorify the Lord
Now come up to the help of the
cause o. Christ. For God said.
The sceptre shall not depart
from judah nor a lawgiver from
between his feet until Shiloh
come; and unto him shall the
gathering of the pc ople be-"
(Gen 1910
The sceptre will not deDart

Shiloh and the gathering of the

Church members are you ready
for him to comet
Are you ready to gather to

Or do you believe that he has

If you bel eve that he has been
here then you are in the way
that see meth right. worse than
ever. For then you believe one
Way and live another. For when
he comes you must gather your.
selves unto bin. For God has
said again.
But in the last days it shall
come to pass that the mountain
of the house of the Lord shall be
established in the top of the
mountains and it shall be exalted
above the hills and people shall
flow unto it.
And many nations shall come

every man under his vine and

What will you say now? Has
this time been? And you must
answer it has not. For when this
time comes it will be IN the last
days. and the mountain Of the
house of the Lord shall be estab.
lished in the top of the mountain
1.-THE mountain Shiloh) and
exalted above the high hills.
And people shall flow to it. That
is the mountain (Shiloh) will any
of you church members say that
this has been? We think not.
For in this same time the word
tell you that nations shall beat
their swords into ploughshares
and that they shall learn war no
more. And every one knows that
this time has not come yet. And
it must come, now this time is
unkno ~n to the people. And all
those things must come to pass.
And just as long as the people do
not know this they are in the
way that seemeth right, But the
end thereof are the ways of
death. If we fail to observe all
things that Jesus taught US, we
are then in the wrong way. For
the multitude that believes today
must be just like they we're in
the APOSTLE day, of one heart,
and one soul. They must all
speak the same thing. Please
read.
Now | beseech you brethren
by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ that We a!l- speak the
same thing and that there be no
divisions among you; but that We
be perfectly joined together in
the same mind and in the same

Have we any church at the
present time where the mem.
bers DO this? And If not, why
not? And the answer must come
that they arc in the way that
seemeth right unto man, but the
emf thereof are the ways of
death. For we have before US the
fact that man lives not by bread
alone, but by every word of God
For the gospel of Christ is the
power of God unto Salvation.
For Paul says.
But If our gospel be hid it is

For we preach not ourselves
but Christ Jesus the Lord and
ourselves your servants for
Jesus sake.' Cor. 4 $50
This scripture without any
other will teach w that we must
know the gospel which Paul
preached, or else they are in the
way that seemeth right, and the
end is the ways of death. For he
said again.
For we are unto God a sweet
SAVIOUR of Christ in them that
are saved and in them that
