THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST,

Had you noticed what a big
stink they are getting raised in
church circles over the question
of Church Federation? My,
but it's a plum sight how thick
they are getting all at once,
They are going to lay aside all
their denominational differences
and. everybody come together in
one big church union. The
church leaders are taking pat
tern after the political leaders.
While one bunch is fixing up a
League Of Nations the other
bunch is going to be pegging
away on a League Of Churches.
The two things must naturally.
go together, so they say.
Well, just to look at it on the
surface, it does seem like all
that is the proper thing to do.
But some of us who understand
the deeper meaning of all these
movements can see mighty
big "nigger in the wood-pile."
The only reason that Protes-
tantism has not been as cruel
and oppressive as Catholicism is
the fact that it has been divided
into so many little factions, none
of which were strong enough to
put up much of fight. But just
as soon as these different de-
nominations get united into one
great Federation they will begin
to feel their oats. What little
truth is in the different denom-
nations will have to be given up,
and they will unite on few of
their leading errors. The little
scattering of folks here and yon-
der who make up the True
Church cannot join this new
Federation, and SO there will be
war between the Federation and
the True Church. And the True
Church, being in the minority,
will be logged and prosecuted
just as the early Christians were
prosecuted by the Pagans and
later by the Roman Catholics.
Rome is the Beast" and FEEDER
ated Professionalism will be the
Image of the Beast" and they
are going to make the Image
just as much like the original
Beast as they possibly can. Just
watch and see if it amt so.

PROGRESSIVE REVELATION
One of the great questions for
Bible students of the present
day to decide is this: Does the
Bible contain no message for
the world except what has been
known all through the ages? Or
is it like great belt unWinding
from drum and revealing new
truth to fit every age? It must
be that something like the latter
view is the correct one.
| believe we have an absolute
right to claim that we can un-
derstand things in scripture now
that were dark and meaningless
in the past. For [ am convinc-
ed that it was Gods purpose to
have it that way. Passages in
Daniel and elsewhere make it
very plain that the inspired
writings were to be a continually
progressive revelation right on
to the end Of the Age.
And | have still another illus
tration for it. The Bible is like
Ithe literal earth. While the
learth was being formed through
Ithe long ages Of creation, it was
ffstered With-vast quantities. Vt
metals, minerals, oils, coal, and
the like, and these were meant
to be useful to man at the pro-
per time.
Well, away back early in the
worlds history man discovered
and found a use for some OF
these things, such as iron, cop.
per, gold, and so on. Little by
little he went deeper into the
secret storehouse of the earth
and used other things. But
there were yet other things un.
discovered and unused. For in
stance, coal, kerosene and gaso.
line-things that we couldn't
possibly do without now-were
not discovered and used unit
comparatively recent times.
Why were not coal, kerosene
and gasoline put into use soon
er? Simply because the worle
hadn't got to where it needed
them. It had other things i
could get along with, and these
things were beng held in store
for a time when things woul(
| develop so as to need then
worse.
| Who could have predicted ff
| ty years ago that gasoline woult
ever play such part in th'
worlds affairs as it is now play
ing? But its day has come
you see, and now we couldn't ge
along without it,
| It is just exactly the same
with Bible truth. The time ha'
| come when we NEED to under
stand many things that we nev
er NEEDED to understand be
fore, and the hidden things ar
being revealed.

THE SECOND DEATH.

A. reader wants to know what
[ understand by the expression,
'"The Second Death" as used in
Rev. 21;8 and elsewhere.
Well, honey, I think it means
just what it says-DEATH.
Now a lot Of felix's have got the
notion that the Second Death
is not death at all, but everlast-
ing life in torment. It is
strange to me how people can
get such crazy ideas. If the
word DEATH was not sufficient
within itself, the mention of
fire and birthstone ought to
make it plain, fer any man with
half sense knows that no living
thing can continue to live long
in fire and birthstone. If you
think you can, Just try it and
see. You will change your no
ton in about ten seconds. The
Bible writer's wanted to convey
, the idea Of actual and literal
death, and they used language
that any sane person ought to
understand.
The SECOND death! Just
stop and think. Give careful
thought to that word second. "
What does it mean? It pre-
supposes one like it to have been
before it. Isn't that reason
able? Suppose you are in my
library, and | offer to show you
two books. | take down from
! a shelf a book and lay it on the
table, saying, There is the first
book" Then | pick up an old
overshoe out Of a corner and
throw it onto the table, saying,
''There is the second book" "
You would think I had gone
crazy, and you would have a
right to think So You would
say: "Why, that is not the sec
ond book-that is the first over
shoe."
Don't you see the point? In
order to be the SECOND BOOK
it must be in the BOOK GLASS;
and any fool knows that an over.
shoe is not in the book class al
all. But | am going to stand
you down that the overshoe is
just as much in the book class
as an endless life in torment
would be in the death class.
| We all know what the first, OF
Adamic, death is, and we know
that the SECOND death must
belong to the same class OF kind
or it is not the SECOND one al
all. A farmer cannot give his
corn crop the SECOND working

KIDS PARTING SHOT.

Kid Gleason, White Sox manager, is
still alive after the Sox defeat. Here's
a parting shot from the 5s-year-oId kid:
IF Williams had shown some stuff
in the first inning it would have been
a different story to tell. But he didn't
have a thing except a desire TO beat
the Reds. That first inning, when the
Reds scored four runs. was enough to
take the heart out of any ball club. but

handicapped at the start of the series
in pitching. but I was confident that we

them. But I still believe the Sox is the
better ball club"
