Then his voice grew fainter
still; and inarticulate sounds is
sued from his pallid lips. His
mouth munched the air like the
mouth Of one of those old men who
seem to be interminably chewing
the cud. His head sank lower and
lower on his breast. He heaved
two or three signs; great SILVER

moved no more.

his throat, very softly and rhyth-

sheep nations On the right
hand and the goat nations on
the left. Let us hope and pray
that In this great Judgment Day
upon the nations our own United
States Of America may be found
worthy to stand ON the right hand.
[ am sorry we have to fight at all,
but since we must ] am glad to
know we are fighting on the right
side. And the right will finally
be triumphant.
And after the Judgment of the
nations is completed, then will
come the Judgment of the individ-
uals. That part Of the Judgment
Day will be a time of peace and
happiness throughout the whole
world. It will not be any time Of
fear and trembling and uneasi-
ness, except for the wilfully wick
ed. During that time the devil
will be bound and helpless, so that
he cannot deceive the nations any
more. (See Rev. 2O.) The earth
will be full Of the knowledge of
the Lord as the waters cover the
sea, SO that no human being will
have any excuse for not KNOW
ING the right way. All will have
a full and complete opportunity,
under the most favorable condl-
tons, to know the truth and to be
good. And I have enough con
fidence in the people to believe
that when they are all given such
a chance as that most, Of them will
accept it. But those who still GO
on in their stubborn and wicked
way, ~preferring to serve the devil
they will be destroyed in the
lsecond death.
And so the Judgment Day, in.
stead Of being such an awful and
fearful time, is going to be q
|GOOD time and a HAPPY time
for everybody who has any desire
at all to be good and to see the
right prevail.

!. 1t is a hard matter to find a
leading magazine today that is
not full Of automobile ads. The
Saturday Evening Post is especi-

Saturday Evening Post Of twenty
years ago did not contain any
automobile ads.
Twenty years ago there were no
motor truck, ads, no tractor ads,
no rubber tire ads, no moving
picture ads, no talking machine
ads. There were a few Typewriter
ads, but the. machines were very
crude looking affairs and bore
names that we never hear of now.
Indeed the advertising pages
Of the old-time mazagines have q

strange as the ads. They al
speak in thunder tones of th'

theory is only q h2lf-truth. u
some cases it will stand the test

of cases where it has fallen down.
When Jesus Christ was here
among men his enemies were
more numerous than his friends.
just a little bunch Of faithful fol-
lowers recognized in him the true
Messiah while the great major
lty-all the big leaders among the
Jews as well as the homans-Were
quite sure that he was only a relig-
ious fanatic, a dangerous agifa-
tor, tand that the safety of society
required his execution. But now
the so-called Christian world looks
back and says that the little
bunch OF humble believers was

was wrong.
In the early age Of the world
Everybody believed that the earah
was fiat and stationary, and that
the sun moved around it. And
when Calico, Kepler, Newton and
others began to discover the laws
of planetary movement and TO
teach the new theory, what did

the astronomers with awful viol-
ence If they didn't quit teaching

Therefore the majority was wrong
again.
Today most of the orthodox
