THE WORD OF GOD:

| When Daniels Seventeen Week, the las
seven years, which is Gods set time II
which the above work will be done, ha:
arrived, the Holy Spirit will depart with
the Church.
Hence, in Revelation a, 5, the whole
Godhead is announced as associated togeth
er in bringing in the Kingdom and infict
ing the apocalyptic judgments of Revela
ton, Chapters Four to Nineteen.
Revelation a, 5 reads:
| Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him
Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come;
and from the seven Spirits Who are before
His throne;
And from Jesus Christ, Who is the Faith
| full Witness, and the First Begotten of the
Dead, and the Prince of the kings of the
earth.

The WORD OF GOD:
It admits the Sbwiousness of the Words
in John 81.
This verse does not belong to the origi-
nal Word of God 1t should have no place
in our Bibles. See the Revised Version.
1t Denies RusselPs Slander when he says
that the doctrine of the Trinity is depend
ent upon that mterbolated forgery The
spurious passage is not at all necessary to
establish the doctrine of the Trinity
The Doctrine is not Contrary to Reason
neither is it altogether on-understandabe
True, it is a mystery and so are many other
things
Water, grass, hay, and grain will make
white hair on one cow, red on another
black on another, etc. We cannot under
stand how it is; it appears unreasonable, but
it is fact just the same. So with the doc

ROMANS 1893, "a % the depth of the
riches both of the wisdom and knowledge
of God! how unsearchable are His judgments,
and His ways past finding out!
For who hath known the mind of the Lord !?
or who hath been His counsellor?
The Idea of the Trinity May be Seen
A tree contains the idea 1t has dark
bark, white meat, and red heart.
There are three primary colors in solar
light = blue, yellow, and red.
There are three persons in grammar -
|, thou, and he expressing the three re-
lationshiDs in life.
There are three degrees of comparison
good, better, best.
There are the animal, the vegetable, and
the mineral kingdoms in nature
Gaseous, liquid, and solid are the three
forms of matter
Matter, force, and motion are the three
conditions of being.
The Pythagoreans called the numt (er
three" a perfect number, and said it be-
longed to The Supreme God
The Jewish Tabernacle curtains were in
three colors = blue, purple, and scarlet
proclaiming the love, power, and holiness of
Jehovah, the God of Israel.
The Earliest Revelation of The Trinity
is Genesis 20, 27:
And God (ELOHIM - plurality in unity
said, Let US make man in OUR image, after
OUR likeness.
So God (ELOHIM) created man in His
Own image, in the image of God (ELOHIM)
created He him.
Who is the "Us" and the "Our" of this
great Scripture?
He was Elol1im, Gods, then, as He is now.
Was one of them the Archongel Michael?
If SO, then the Archangel Michael is an
uncreated being; for he was Of the Elollim
Who said, LET US create man in OUR
image, after OUR likeness"
The Bible clearly shows that the Eternal
and Uncyeated Word, the Son, was one of
the "US" and the OUR"
All Who made up that Elohinu were equal
in substance, power, authority, Deity, and
council
God, Who later revealed Himself as the
Father, was there - part of the Elohim, !,
The Uncreated and Eternal Son was there
as the Word. the (even them Second Per
son of the Adorable Godhead, or Trinity

from the Father through the Son, was there

THE WORD OF GOD:

Russelps Question, "Who, Where, and
What is the Holy Sbirit97 is clearly an
swered in the Word of God. The
Scriptures used in the refutation of Russell
SIMS position on the Trinity have completely
located the Holy Spirit as The Third Per-
son In the adorable Godhead
The Holy Spirit is "He," not IT." not
withstanding Russell's rawlings about "He,"
Him" and His" not belonging in those
texts concerning the Spirit of God.
JOHN 1416 Il will pray the Father, and
He shall give you another Comforter, that
He may abide with you (the Church) for ever
Ito end of Church period when He takes the
Church up to meet the Christ in the air)
Jesus was their first Comforter. Was He
a Person? Did personality belong to Him.
lhe Holy Spirit was to be another Com
forter - the second Comforter, taking the
| place of the first Comforter If the first
| comforter was Person, the second Com
forter must also be a Person. This po-
sitlon is inescapable. Is the first Comfor-
! ter "He' and the second Comforter only
| "h"?
Again Russell says the Greek word for
barakletos, or comforter, ought to be rem
dered "she,' her" herself etc.
IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE ADOR-
ABLE THIRD PERSON OF THE GOD
HEAD, FEMININE "SHE"?
What is that but the Satanic doctrine OF
Nanny" Eddy, who sought to make cher
SELF female Christ?
After all, in some respects NANNY"
Eddy and Granny Russell were very
much alike Both their systems were lust
two "old wives fables - two old women's
religions
The Word of God Predicates Personality
of the Holy Spirit time and again. He is
given credit for all the acts of Divine
Person.
He Beauties and Garnishes
When the Christ had created the heavens
and the earth John l IA Colossians Is
II; Revelation 4 4:1D He, the Holy Spirit,
proceeded to beautify, or garnish, the heav-
ems
JOB 26:13 - BY His Spirit He hath garnish-

VERSE Ia Lo, these are parts of His ways:
but how little portion is heard of Him? but
the thunder of His power who can under
stand?
He Broods into Life Again.
During the judgmental catac1ysm of Gen
esis 2: II Peter 3:5 6; Jeremiah 4:23-
20, the Holy Spirit brooded over the deep,
-trying to bring the earth out of chaos and
darkness into life and light again.
GENESIS 1:2 2-And the earth was (made.

THE WORD OF RUSSELL DENIES
AND REPUDIATES THE TRINITY.


Volume 5, Pages 54, So The general
thought of Christendom is greatly perplex-
ed by what is known as "The doctrine of
the Trinity" this confusing doctrine of
men which its pronounced advocates adj
NIT they do not understand, and for which
no authority can be found in the Word of
God.
The word Trinity" does not occur in
the Bible nor does any word of equivalent
meaning; nor is any statement made which
even unreasonably could be interpreted to
signify any such thing.
Those who hold to the doctrine of the
Trinity hopelessly entangle themselves, as
we'll as their hearers. They declare that
there is only one God (because the Scrip
lures so positively assert this point yet,
in the same BREATH they declare that there
are three Gods because to this theory they
are committed by traditions of the
fathers" handed down by the Papacy).
But how could there be three Gods yet
only one God? If there be but Zone God,
the Father of Whom are all things" then
it cannot be true that there are several Gods
of equal power.
While our Lord Jesus Christ is a god
Ca mighty one), vet there is but one Al
mighty God, the Father of all = the Head
of Christ is God q Corinthians II ~.
The doctrine of the Trinity is based upon
4 Tradition of The Fathers, Supported
Bv Forgery (Italics RusselPs).
This is the one statement found in the
Scriptures, and the only one, which seems
in the slightest degree to even imply the
doctrine of Trinity of Gods and that pas
sage is now admitted by all scholars to be
spurious. 1t is, therefore, omitted from
the Revised Version of the New Testament.
Volume 5, Pages SO, 50 The spurious
Interpolation is found in | John 81, and
consists of the words, "in heaven, the Faith
er, the Word, and the Holy Spirit and these
three are one. And there are three that bear
witness in earth.
Here was a convenient place for the ad-
versary to get in his work of corruption of
the truth. and he found a servant ready to
serve him.
Volume 5, Page 59) The Bible most pos
itively contradicts the thought that the Faith
er and Son are one in person, and denies
that they are equal in majesty and power.
He Christi was the Heavenly Fathers
first and only Begotten Son Tin His resur-
rection, and to the Divine nature). He said
81 came not to do Mine Own will, but the
Fathers WILL" and, 'My Father is greater
than l.
Volume 5, Page 60) The very words
Father" and 'Son" imply a difference, and
contradict the thought of a Trinity. The
word "Father" signifies life-giver, and the
word "Son" signifies one who has received
life from another Such is the Son; His
life, or existence, is derived from the Faith
er.
Volume 5, Page 62) The doctrine of
the Trinity had its rise in the second and
third centuries 1t arose in natural way =
at first through combativeness.
Volume 5, Page 63) Jesus had preex-
istence on a spiritual plane, then He was
changed to the human plane in order to re-
deem mankind, and at His resurrection He
was highly exalted to the Divine plane =
became the Son of God.

AMAZING BROOD OF IDOLS.

The world is full these days of the
sound of crashing thrones. The petty
kings and princes of Germany, clutch
ing at their crowns, are finding they
are mere survivals of the middle ages.
What a spectacle 1t has been. After
1871, II. G. Wells has pointed out, a
constellation of quasi-divine Teutonic
faonarchs, of which the German en-
peror and the Russian czar were the
bright stars, formed a caste apart in
termarried only among themselves,
dominated the world and were regarded
with a mythical awe by the ignorant
and foolish In most European cOun-
tries. "The marriages." he continues,
"the funerals, the coronations, the OBJ
stetrics of this amazing brood of idols
were matters Of almost universal wor-
ship" How absurd it all seems now,
with the car overthrown and put to
death, the Hohenzollern and Hapsburg
in fight, and all their petty satellites
ducking for their caves, says Kansas
City Star. Mere vestiges of the spe-
clal privilege Of the past they were,
tolerated through the inertia of the
human mind so long as nothing hap
pened to disturb the situation, but
bound to be kicked out when involved
In national humiliation and defeat.

The American army in France has
perhaps accomplished as much toward
the pacification of Mexico as If it had
actually marched through the southern
republic. German propagandists are
very much out of favor. Militarism
is on the decline, and some of the
leaders show a disposition to seek
the smiles of the United States, says
Christian Science Monitor. Mean
while business is improving, and more
new enterprises are being started
than for many years. Such, at least,
are the indications as shown by the
reports which come northward. The
great war has produced many by-prod-
ucts not to be despised.

required to do so this year.
Income tax returns must be made
between now and March 10 by persons
who come under the following classiti-
cations:
Any unmarried person whose 1918
net income was 81 1000 or over. Wild
ows and widowers, divorces and mar
ried persons who are living apart from
their husbands or wives, are for the
purposes OF the Income Tax classed as
unmarried.
Any married person living with wife

$1,000 or over. The income of both
husband and wife must be considered,
together with the earnings of minor

blank Form 1O40 A for reporting net
income up TO $1,000, or Form 1040 II
his net income exceeded that amount.
Forms are being distributed by Collec-
tors and their Deputies, also by banks.
BY following the Instructions on the
forms a correct return can be prepared
at home. If person needs advice or
aid, the Deputy Collectors in the field
will furnish this without charge.
The new Revenue law places the In
come Tax duty on citizens and resi-
dents. The Internal Revenue Bureau
is sending its men to work right with
the public to get the tax and the re-
turns in. With active cooperation
every tax due March Is will be paid
and every return required by law will
be in the Revenue offices on time.
Exemptions Are Allowed.
A single person is allowed personal
exemption of $1,000. If he is support
ing in his household relatives who are
dependent upon him he may claim the
status Of the head of family who has
the same exemption as II married
A married person who lives with
wife or husband Is allowed personal
exemption of $1,000 The head of a
family Is entitled to claim a similar
personal exemption.
An additional exemption of 5000 Is
allowed for each person under eight
cen or incapable of self support who
was dependent upon and received his
chief support from the taxpayer.
A husband and wife living together
are entitled to but one personal ex-
emption of $1,000 If they make sep
arate returns the exemption may be
claimed by either or divided.
Accuracy Required.
Absolute accuracy Is necessary in
making up income figures Any per-
son who is working for wages should
find out exactly how much he received
during the whole year 1918. Fees,
bank interest, bond interest, dividends,
rents received and all other items
must be reported correctly. Mere
guesses are not accepted, for they are
unjust alike to the taxpayer and the
Government and defeat the proper ad-
ministration of the law.
