RUSSELL'S WORD:

The change to these eject" members will
bring them into the same fellowship, glory,
and power already entered by the members
who slept till 1873; they will be Caught up"
or away, from earthly conditions to be
united together with the Lord in the air.

This class constitutes ''the feet of him, )"
and when they finish their sacrifice in death
and pass within the vail in October, 1914,
Revelation IA :13 will be fulfilled, and they,
too, will rest from their labors, tolls, and
sufferings.
ESPECIAL NOTE: When, in 1914, the
great war broke out, instead of the Rus
sellized Kingdom of God being set up, he
and his dupes began to hem and haw and
hedge. In Russelps posthumous work, "The
Finished Mystery" the dates have
been changed to suit the times. If you will

page 61) The year 1914 brought the
end of the Gentle Times, but not of the
harvest work.
ESPECIAL NOTE: Russell had said
time and again in "STUDIES IN THE
SCRIPTURES" that "the harvest" was the
last forty years of the Gentle Times, and
that both the Gentle Times and the harvest
would end in October, 1914 Go back and

page 62) Reexamine the table of paral-
lei dispensations in "Studies In the Scrip
lures" Volume 2, Pages 246, 247; change
the 81 to 40, 20 to 73, and 1914 to 1918, and
we believe it correct, and will be fulfilled
in great power and glory.
The Scriptures prove that the spring of
1918 will bring upon Christendom greater
spasm of anguish than that experienced in
1914
1t is possible that A. D. 1880 marks the
regathering of all Israel from their captivity
in death.

ing saints in A. D. 1873, after the Times of
Restitution began in A. D. 1874; and the
Gentle Times will close at the latest in the
spring of 1913 or 1921. The three days
(three-years -1918-1921) fruitless search
for Elijah CT Kings 2:17, 49, is confirm
alton of this view.

The Frence Revolution is Dlvlnely pro-
vided picture of events now near to hand,
and we therefore expect three and one-halt
wears of prescription of the Truth, from
tho snrinq of 1918 to the fall of 1921. This
will give the Great Company splendid OPP
portunities for martyrdom, and allow an
other three and one-half years, to the spring
of 1925, for the world to think the matter
over, by which time, doubtless, they will
be quite ready to listen to the voice that
speaketh from heaven.

ments in connection with the setting up OF
the Kingdom NAV occur in 1920, six years
