dence of his faith in the continued existence
of this world.
Didn't the Board and The Index simply
misunderstood Pastor Russell? Didn't he
say, years ago, that the year 1914 would mark
the end of an old dispensoti0n, and the be-
ginning of new? In other words, didn't he
mean that the year 1914 would be the year Of
transition?
Those who believed in him say that he
did; and, in that immediate connection, one
Of his followers sent me a lot of Russell litera-
ture, months before the Pastor died. and, in
this literature, were his predictions of the
coming of the titanic European war.
This prediction did not impress me with
the idea that the Rev Charles Russell was a
prophet for there were numbers of people
statesmen, diplomats, publicists, and fnan-
clers-who had seen that European arma-
ments, and eternal preparedness" would in
evitably lead to bloody cataclysm.
1t is not wonder, that these people saw it:
the wonder is, that everybody couldn't see it.
We are headed for the same abyss of blood
and woe, in this country, but our Prepared
ness maniacs can't see it. Even our profess
slonal disciples of The Prince of Peace howl
with JOY, at every step we take in Preparing
for New World Armageddon Sometimes
these clerical lunatics can't wait for Sunday
to deliver themselves of their martial ardor
and bloodthlrsty etfervescence: they have to
relieve their warlike fervor by telegraphing
to the daily papers,
The Bishop piomszy bzesses the monster bat
Nesh5p; and each Christian sect feceriShzv
pushes forocard its chaplain, IN order that
pre1nedlt0ted maa1-hilling mag seem truly re-
Ngious.
Wasn't Pastor Russell right when he said
that the year 1914 would mark the change
from the Old Order to the New?
Are we not moving swiftly in an era of
transition?
By the living God! think we are!
From what time does it date?
When did it decisively begin?
1t was preparing during all these years
when each European nation was furiously en-
gagged in Military Preparedness.
1t was preparing when Protestant countries,
like England and Prussia, allowed the Jesuts
to creep back into the Councils of State
1t was preparing when Protestant govern
ments began to re-establish political and dip
lOmatlc relations with the Vatican.
1t was preparing when, in 1870 the millions
of Catholic laymen stupidity accepted the new
papal doctrine of Infallibility, which, in
practical political and religious effect, COM

of priests who cannot err, and who can par

Under that doctrine, God becomes barren

Italian priests.

through The Sunday School Board and SINH

account of his personal belief.

CeHC, anu IlIII IOchS dU all OTyUUG2Ut1OW; Out
no human being can truthfully accuse me of
insulting him about his individual religious
faith.
But the Boards and the Organs, hated Rus
sell! Why?
Some say it was because the Pastor never
took up a collection; but [ hardly think this
explanation will answer. If the other minis
ters are so mercenary as all that, they would
rejoice in the fact of RusseA's not passing the
plate around, because it left all the more
loose cash for them to get when they sent
the plates out after the ducats.
Others say that Russell was hated because
he secuted the idea of hell and eternal punish
ment. There is more in this than in the
other, but it does not fully explain.
The Unitarians are not especially hated,
although they abolish Christ and the Holy
Ghost
From 1908 to 1912, we had Unitarian in
the White House, and he defeated Bryan and
me, both, to get there.
My opinion is, that Pastor Russell was
hated because he organized an opposition
sect, to those which were in power; and those
sects which were already organized and in
power looked upon him as an Insurgent,
Rebel, a Traitor, q Pretender coming into
their hlngd0n1 to e7athr0ne a near dynasty.
Roger Williams and John Wesley were
hated in the same way: the great Baptist
pioneer had to flee into the woods and live
among the savages; and the great Methodist
was so plagued, and prosecuted, that he left
Savannah, 6eta0eena suns, to rid himself of the
intolerable conditions made for him by per-
sonal ennities and religious rancor.
WHAT WAS PASTOR RUssELL's PROPHECY?
The Sunday School Board and The Index
classify Pastor Russell as false prophet,
cheap faker, because, as they allege, he pre-
dicted that the world would come to an end
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-01-11

oatn they are ID liars, and (2) ID liars
and (3) e~perts.
WHY DID OTHER CHRISTIANS HATE HIM?
In the first article which The Jeffersonian
published on this subject, after the attack of
The Index, [ ventured the opinion that Pas
tor Russell was not the owner of any con-
siderable property. This opinion was
predlcated upon the small sum allowed bv the
court to Mrs. Russell as alimony It was
evidently a charge upon his earning capacity,
rather than upon accumulation of wealth
After his death, it developed that he had not
owned any estate at all, not even any stock
In the great publishing business which he had
established.
His only financial asset was bank-balance
of 5000, which would be about enough to buv
cheap poplar coffin, and brief space for an
obituary in The Index
At the present price of hats shoes, and
clothes, 1t would just about have supplied
Pastor Russell with new suit, all round.
and then bought enough food to last him a
month.
Or if it had been invested in livestock,
the $500 would have paid for fairly good
mule-a lineal descendant possibly of the ass
that Christ rode into Jerusalem
Compared with the property of Luther,
w
Roger Williams, the 5000 left by Pastor Rus
sell appears in good company.
The poverty of idleness, of dissipation, of
senseless waste, is justly rebuked; but the
poverty of unselfsh conservation to nobler
work than the boarding of wealth, Is glorious.
You can read the nations tribute to it, on
the monument of the statesman, and IN the
pension of the soldier
Not long ago, the Greatest Republic built

e1sha1na7ag the bat of honest poverty.
THIS IS LAZARUS BUT IS THAT DIVES?
AS you pass along the streets of the vast
Cities, strewn thick with human wreckage-
and seem to hear that cry of human anguish
which means or shrieks in all the slums--your
eyes may chance to light upon Lazarus, lying
at the palace-gate, as of old; but do not too
hastily conclude that DiueS dwells within,
wearing purple and fine linen, and faring
sumptuously every day: the unseeing, unfeel-
ing, pharisalcal palace mag be that of the
Catholic cardinal or the Protestant bishop
Lazarus you will know by sight, and at
once: there is no room for mistake, as to him:
what he was in the beginning he is now, and
ever shall be-perhaps: but you must be care
full about the palace: it may deceive you: it
is SO imposingly grandoise on the outside, and
so luxurously appointed within, that you
may jump at the conclusion that it belongs to
DiveS.
Not necessarily. 1t may be the resplendent
abode of my Lord, the bishop, or of his Emf
nence the cardinal.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
IS PASSED BY SENATE
Measure Goes Through by Vote Of
so to II, After Having Been
Under Heavy Attack.

The river and harbor bill was put
through the Senate last night by vote
of so to II, after having been under
heavy attack for the last four days.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa led the fight
against the measure, and was seconded
by Senator Sherman of Illinois. The
bill carries approximately 2S.00O,000.
It's friends claimed that the bill was
pared down to the limit: that the only
new projects contained were those
recommended by the War Department
as war measures"
Just before the final vote was taken
Senator Kenyon sought to have sub
stituted for it a resolution authorizing
the expenditure of s15,000,000 by the
Secretary of War on such waterway
projects as he deemed necessary. This
was voted down by IS to IT. He also
sought, in another amendment. to have
the President pass upon the new prof.
ects contained in the bill to determine
whether they were really war meas
ures." but that, too, was defeated by a
substantial majority.
The roll call on the passage Of the
bill showed the following result:
