THEY ARE AFRAID.

A few months ago I thought I
had got a good healthy argu-
ment started between myself
and one Of the big guns of Or
thodoxy, ,towit, the Rev. w. F.
Staley, Of North Wilkesboro, N.
G.. He started in like he was
just going to clean up the patch
before breakfast. But I sorter
bowed my neck and said "Boo!"
one time, and that was the last
of Bro. Staley. I think it looks
sorter bad for a big Theological
Seminary expert to get so skeer-
ed of a little one-hoss hill-billy
like ne. Why, mercy me, I
wouldn't have bit him.
If | am all wrong on the eter-
nal torment question and some
other things, and these big fell
lers are SO certain they have got
the proof against me, why in all
creation don't they trot it out
and let a-body see it? I try to be
reasonable in all things, and if
anybody can show proof that I
am wrong I will try to get
right. But it seems like nv
REASONING is the very thing
that these big orothodox fellows
are afraid of. They can't stand
up against it. Amt it a plum
pity?

One of my great regrets is
that [ am not able to write a per-
sonal answer to all the good let
ters [ get. My desk is always
packed full Of these kind and
encouraging letters, and I know
my friends think strange of me
for not writing to them. But it
IS physically impossible for me
to write to all. It would take all
of my time, and then some, and
| would not get to do anything
else. But, dear friends, I appre-
clate your kind letters Just as
much as if I could answer them
all personally, and | want them
to keep on coming.

It is strange how some peo-
pie hang on blindly to the reli-
gious beliefs of their ancestors.
They don't insist on travelling
in an ox-cart like their ances-
tors did, and they don't do bust
ness in any other way like their
ancestors did: but in matters
of religious belief they seem to
think that the ox-cart and tallow
candle stage is good enough.

H~EART-TO-HEART TALK.

Now. dear readers and friends,
this is a personal letter to you. !
want you to regard it as just as
personal and just as important as
If I had written it direct on my
typewriter and mailed it to you in
a sealed envelope under a three
GENT stamp.
What do you think Of the line
of talk / I'm giving you this timei
If you believe my New Message
contains something that thepeople
ought to read and think about,
then I want you to appoint your
self as a missionary to help spread
1t among your friends. Tote this
issue around in your pocket and
read it to people you meet and
ask them what they think about
it. You will find more people
thinking along these lines than
you might suppose. And if you
happen to strike a few who have
not yet begun to think on these
things, this paper will wake them
up and put them to thinking.
The whole human race today is
aware Of the fact that this old
earth is passing through a great
crisis, and that SOMETHING OF
far-reaching consequence to the
people must be the result. The
human mind is in a questioning
attitude, wondering if this really
is the end, and the old cut-and-
dried conceptions Of what is going
to happen in the wind-up are be-
ing changed rapidly.
Hence the time is ripe for this
New Message, and | want you to
help me spread it into every nook
and corner of this broad land. It
is going to take a great deal OF
money to run this thing under
present conditions. Print paper
costs about twice what it former
ly did, and some kind Of war tax
lin the form of postage or other
wise) is going to fall heavily on
all publishers. And besides that.
I am constantly needing to add
new machinery and Office equip
ment to handle the business. You
folks hustle up the clubs and I'll
furnish the chin-music till every
thing goes easy.

The more securely you fasten
down the safety-valve of steam
engine the more certain it is
that you will have an explosion.
The reactionary officials of this
government should try to re-

The people who demanded the
crucifxion of Christ were the
VERY BEST PEOPLE of that
day and time, and they honestly
thought they were doing right.
That shows how easy it is for
even the best people to be mis-
taken. But our good orthodox
saints of these days have never
thought about that.

To the person who does not
have the sure guide of Prophecy

that they are moving right

climax.

PARAGRAPHS.

It seems like pity that there
isn't an orthodox hell for those
who want one so bad. But the
trouble is, they always want it
for the other fellow and not for
themselves.

MODERN

WOIIu SIlOulQ have gone OH lOI
full six thousand years without
making but very little progress
in the lines of invention and dis
covery, and then all at once
burst out in such a binding
glare of smartness as we see
around us today?
With the exception of printing
and steam, which. date a little
farther back, practically every
thing we speak of as modern in
ventions or discoveries have
come to us inside Of the last fifty
years. The worlds way Of liv-
ing fifty years ago was not much
different from what it was five
or six thousand years ago. Dur
ing all that time there was no
marked advance along any line
Of invention or discovery. But
just about the time the six
thousand years ended and we
started on the seventh, you no
tice how the pace began to
quicken. Things never dream
ed of before came crowding
right on the heels of each other
until now we live in a different
world. Make out a list of the
great inventions that were in
use before 1872, and it will be a
mighty short list. Then go
ahead and make out another list
containing the great inventions
and discoveries that have come
into use since 1872. Your Sc
cond list will contain, among
other things, the following:
Electric lights,
Electric power,
Telephone,
Wireless telegraph,
Photograph,
Automobile,
typewriter,
Type-setting machine,
Web printing press,
Daily Newspaper,
Moving pictures,
X-Ray,
Submarine,
Flying-machine,
and many others too numerous
to mention. Imagine the world
suddenly deprived of all these
things and set back where it
was As OF so years ago! It
would be hard getting along,
wouldn't it? And yet our an
cestors got along for six thous-
and years and probably thought
they were doing well enough.
Can you give any good reason
why these things didn't start
away back yonder and come in
gradually? Did the people have
no inventive minds among them,
or what was the matter? I'll
tell you why. It just wasn't in
Gods Plan for these things to
be until the time of the end
They COULDN'T have come
any sooner. And when the
right TIME rolled around
they came in a hurry. And yet
their coming has been gradual
enough SO that we considered it
a very natural process. If these
things had dropped down from
heaven all in one day we would
have called it a miracle. And il
would have been. But it is nc
less a miracle as it is. The HAND
Of God is in it, and He has al
lowed men to make these things
lust at this time for a wise pur.
pose. They are being gotter
