Pastor Russell.

Editors Freeman-Tr1bune: A few
days ago there appeared in your pa
per an article from Chicago daily
referring to the death of c. T. Rus
|sell, commonly known as Pastor
Russell. Thinking that some might
be misled by this article we are
prompted to write you to make a
correction. The article stated that
he taught the doctrine of no hell,
etc. This is not true, as anyone can
easily learn by reading his works
or his sermons. He does point out
in no uncertain terms that the Bible,
which he firmly believed to be Gods
word, teaches that there is hell.
He does not, however, advocate the
doctrine of eternal torment. That
is, he states that Gods word does
not anywhere teach that the wick
ed will be placed in such a state or
condition that they will be made to
undergo pain and torture through
out an endless eternity. He points
out that the Bible teaches that the
wicked will be destroyed, for the
wages of sin is DEATH" not eternal
torment. The wicked will be entire
ly cut off and cease to exist in any
state or condition at all. He also
proves that the word "hell" in all
but few instances means grave or
tomb. The Hebrew word "sheop'
and Greek word "hades" both mean
ing grave or tomb have been trans
lated hell when they should have
been translated grave.
Pastor Russell was not wealthy
man. He lived for years on a sal
airy of $11.00 a month and his nee
essary travelling and living expenses.
The writer has personally met him
and heard him speak. We also know
of several good Christian men who
have been very intimate with him
in his work. He was a Christian in
every way. He never compromised
with sin in any form. He has taught
the truth as he saw it without fear
or favor. His teachings were not
suited to some other religious insti-
buttons and they began to SANDER
and belittle his name.
He has been teaching and preach
ing the coming of the reign of Christ
when righteous and perfect King
dom would be set up. Before this
Kingdoms is set up he stated that
the present Kingdoms must fall. He
shows how the Bible states that this
decay of the present Gentle King
doms would not occur until about
1914. Then the various kingdoms
would through strife and envy, fly
at one another's Threats and finally
end in a revolution or "a time of
trouble, such as never was before. !"
This was written and explained ov-
|er thirty years ago, and is now be-
ing fulfilled just as he points out.

Washington, Nov. 14.-What is
generally considered one of First
Chief Carranza's most important de-
crees-the one to mine owners in
Mexico to either resume work or for
felt their property becomes effective
today. 1t was issued September IA
and made effective at the end of six
ty days. Holders Of mine property
in Mexico have taken lively inter-

able to learn anything about the ac-
ton the government will take. Many
have been unable to do as directed.

BRAZIL GONE IN
FOR PREPAREDNESS

Rio de Janeiro, Oct. 3O.-Letter to
the Freeman-Tribune from II. B.
Robertson, United Press Correspond
ent: Preparedness, as theory, is
no longer open to discussion in Bra
iii. The big southern republic has
gone in for "militarism," and she
has gone in with enthusiasm.
Compulsory military service, es-
tablished by law passed by the con-
gress of 1908, goes into effect Deem
Der 1 this year, and if the results ap-
proach the predictions of the laws
sponsors million Brazilian men
will be trained in arms and maneuv-
ers within the next ten years. All
able bodied men between the ages of
81 and "A years are subject to the
call to arms.
BY scheme of short time service
favors advanced to those who wish
to escape the two years service in
the active army and the greater part
of Brazil's army probably will be
composed of volunteers" More than
fifty thousand volunteers enlisted for
the short service between August
LIST and September 30th, this year,
and it is probable that this number
will be doubled before December l.,
when ten per cent of those who did
not volunteer will be drawn by lot
for compulsory service. The volun-
teer and drawing by lot process will
be repeated each year.
The men of the new army will be
divided according to their ages
those between the ages of Fl and 80
going into the first line of the active
army and its reserve, between 80 and
81 into the second line and it's re-
serve, and between 81 and A into
the third line and it's reserve or the
national guard. After nine years in
the active army the men are retired
to the reserve.
The volunteers are classed accord
ing to how they wish to serve. for
the two years service, for the annual
maneuvers and training camp, or
for training in schools and i'm shoot
ing clubs under the instruction of
army officers. The two latter classes
must continue their training until
such times as they are able to pass
an army requirements examination.
Those who train in the third class
art not compelled to leave their bust
ness or occupation as they are per-
mitted to drill on Sundays, holidays
and out of work hours.
Hundreds of colleges, schools, ath-
letic clubs and other organizations
of men are taking advantage of the
third class volunteer rights and are
training under the instruction of of
ficers furnished by the minister of
war to these schools, clubs and or
CARNATIONS.
Other young men are volunteering
for the annual mancuvers and train
ing camps, the two months year
being credited against their compul-
sorry service, and at the same time
taking the place of vacations
The two years straight active
army service is being sought by the
young men between the ages of II
