Mr.. H. j. Drane, one OF Tie plo-
reer members of the Episcopal
church in Lakeland, entertained the
club with an interesting and instruc-
tive address on how America pre-
pared for the war. In the course OF
his speech, he paid high tributes to
President Wilson, ex-President Tart
and Herbert Mendenhall, of Lakland'
who. during the war has rendered
service of great value to this coun-
cry. After describing many wonder
full and almost unbelievable feats'
which this country in so short time
has accomplished, Mr.. Drane spoke
OF the cost in money of the war and
said that four dollars per second for
every second Of time that has passed
from the birth Of Christ in Bethle-
hem until today would be insufficient
to nay the cost and that babes un
born would be paying in taxes tn
cost of the war a hundred years from
i now. Mr.. Drane concluded his ad
dress by expressing his confidence II
the American people and particular
in the Lakeland people in mot bein
cutters and his belief that the Vic
tory Loan would be successful.

1t will be on his glorious throne.
This throne will be most surely in the
land of Israel. The Prophecy of Joel,
third chapter, and Zechariah 1915,
make it to be in or near Jerusalem.
The angel said to Mary, "Thou shalt
call his name Jesus; he shall be great
and shall be called the son of the high
est; and the Lord God shall give unto
him the throne of his father David !;
and he shall reign over the house of
Jacob forever, and of his kingdom
there shall be no END" duke 81 33).
Just as there was q literal place and
a literal king there shall be literal
throne.

These will be the living nations up
on the earth after the church has been
translated Il Thess. 4 :16, 10. These
are the nations to whom the gospel of
the kingdom shall be preached, Just
prior to the coming of the end. "And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached in all the world for a Wit
ness unto all nations and then shall
the end come" Matt. 24:14). This
gospel Is distinguished from the Cos
pei of the grace of God which is now
being preached. The preachers of this
gospel will be Jews (Rev. and Rom.
1D. These are the brethren In the
flesh, of the Lord, they that move
among the nations Of the world with
the startling message of the news Of
the Lords approaching kingdom.
Some of the nations will gladly re-
ceive the message and most kindly re-
ceive the kings messengers, giving
them clothing, food. shelter, etc. 9th
ers will prosecute them, thrusting
them into prison, etc. Here the for
mer will visit these messengers of the
king and provide for their wants. At
this time the judge will separate the
nations, placing the sheep on the right
and the goats on the left. The sheep"
are those who have given proper treat
ment to Christ's brethren. The goats
are those who rejected and ill-treated
his brethren. If these three classes,

The first of the safety bicycles was
put on the market in 1885, In this the
high front wheel was redu i and the
rear wheel was about two-thirds the
height of the front one. The machines
with wheels of the same size appeared
in 1885. Bicycling began to be popular
about 1891, and the ''craze" reached its
height about 1895, when wheels had be-
come low enough in price to be within

LESSON

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER ID
THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS.

LESSON TEXT-Matt. 25:3l-46
GOLDEN TEXT-For we must all APP
pear before the judgment seat of Christ.
II Cor $40
The subject selected by the lesson
committee is 1.-THE Future Life" but
at best such a statement would be
the use of the term in an accommo-
dated sense. According to legitimate
textual and contextual signifcation it
Is the judgment of the living nations
which lies still in the future ". 32).
The idea of a general judgment
which is of such frequent occurrence
in religious literature and teaching is
a fundamental error. 1t is not once
found in the Bible, neither the idea
which 1t is intended to convey. Doe
tor PentecOst most distinctively says,
st is a mischievous habit that has led
the Christian world to speak of the
judgment as being one great event
taking place at the end of the world,
when all human beings, saints, sin
ners, Jews and Gentiles, the living
and the dead, shall stand up before
the great white throne and there be
judged. Nothing can be more wide Of
the Scriptures" The Bible speaks of
different judgments, differing In re-
spect to the subjects to be judged, the
place Of judgment, the time Of judg-
ment and the result of the judgment.
This is not the judgment set forth
in Revelation 20:11-14,. but pracedes
that one at least one thousand years.
|. The Judge w. BY.
It is the Son of Man, the one who
came and died to redeem the human
race, and who now being clothed with
majesty and power win act as Judge.
Those who accept him now shall not
