road to Damascus. And the
time is now right at hand when
the very same Jesus is going to
in q very similar man
ner to this whole world to the
Jews first, and then to the other
peoples Of the earth.
The scholars and great men Of
earth don't know it, but some of
us common folks know that Paul
was only a type Of the Jewish
race, and the thing that happen
ed to him back there is going to
happen ta every Jew in the
world. And it will happen very
suddenly some of these days be-
fore long. The Jews are getting
their Promised Land back, as
the prophets foretold, and every
thing is heading up rapidly and
getting ready for the Big Act
that will put a mighty sudden
quiecus on all the devils big
capers here in the world.
When this mysterious some
thing" as DR.. Marden calls It,
strikes the Jewish people, they
will all turn right around and go
to doing just like Paul did-they
will all go to preaching And
think of a whole nation of Pauls
turned loose in the world!
A leap toward the millennium,
! did you say? Why, bless your
soul, that will BE the Millen-
nium-the very thing you are
looking for. And, sure enough,
despair and misery will vanish
from the earth.
Some of us poor simple ''here-
tics" are looking for these things
to happen before we are many
years older. The worldly-wise
will laugh at us now, but they
will not laugh twelve years from
now. Remember that.

THIS IS THE PLACE

We know that this earth was
the scene of Christ's humilia-
ton and suffering, and it is only
fair and just that it be also
the scene of his triumph and
glory. If it were otherwise it
would give the world and Satan
a chance to boast.
Suppose we come before men
and say:
"Well, Jesus will never reign
on this earth, but he will reign
up in heaven"
The world and Satan can re-
ply:
"You SAY he reigns up there,
but we don't believe it. Where
is your proof that he is alive at
all? We killed him back yonde1'
in Palestine, and we believe he
is dead yet. At least, if he is
alive anywhere, he will take care
not to butt in and try to run
THIS planet any more. We
folks down here have got him
bluffed."
And it would look like it, sure
enough. So the only way to stop
the mouths of these wicked
boasters is to let them SEE him
! coming in his power and glory.

NUMBER 5,

Let them quake and tremble in
the presence of his awful majes-
ty. And let them SEE him set
up his glorious kingdom and
reign right here on this same
earth that they thought they
had him scared away from.
That will be vindication and
a victory for Christ. Anything
short Of that would be an ack-
nowledgen1ent of defeat.
And SO we people who believe
that Jesus Christ is going to con-
quer and reign MUST believe
that he will reign right here.

STAGGERING ONTO THE
TRUTH.

lIlC WOIlOly -WISC uO oO11lO-
times speak more truly than
they know. Just now, in read
ing a book by DR.. Orison SWEET
Marden, the famous ''inspira-
tional" writer and editor of
"The New Success" I came
across the following remarkable
sentence. I mean, it is remark
able coming from a worldly-wise
man like DR.. Marden, who did
not know nor even suspect how
near he was stumbling onto a
great dispensational truth. Hear
DR.. Marden:
"The Transformation of Saul the
prosecutor into Paul the great apos-
| tie to the Gentiles is one of the grand
est instances of self-revelation
! through fash of divine illumination.
| What revolution would be affected in
the whole race if this something
which touched Saul on his way to
Damascus, when suddenly there
shined round him a light from hea-
ven," could touch all the human be-
ings who are going wrong, the "no-
bodies,'' the "down-and-outs," the dis
couraged, the Respondent, those who
have fallen by the wayside! What a
leap toward the Millennium the race
would take if all these dead souls
could be awakened and made anew by
this mysterious something which
made the vengefu prosecutor OF
Christians the greatest of the
teachers of Christianity! If this
divine spark, which enkindles a new
fire in human hearts, makes men out
Of beasts, and good citizens out OF
hoboes, drunkards and criminals
could be ignited in the breasts Of all
despair and misery would vanish from
the earth"
Here we find DIR. Marden in.
dulging in what he supposes is
a fanciful day-dream which he
does not believe can ever come
true. But some of us simple
minded folks, who have not hall
the worldly knowledge that hi
has, are permitted to know thai
he has unwittingly pictured ou1
the very identical thing that il
now just about to happen to th'
world.
! DR.. Marden calls it a "mis
: terious something" that appear
ed to Saul and changed his ca
? reer. He does not seem to know
{ what it was, in spite Of the fac
that the New Testament plain
ly tells us it was Jesus Chris
!, Himself appearing and speaking
! to Saul. The learned editor o
2 '"The New Success" is a Chris
{ tian Scientist, if I mistake not
e and he cannot afford to accep
I that story as literally true. H

A SERMON ON SPIRIT
UALTSM

Look here, you Immortal Soul
folks, I am going to give you
just about the worse jolt you
ever got in your lives. I have
been hearing you cuss out Spirit
ualisrn till [ am getting tired of
it. Now, I've got just as little
use for Spiritualisn as you have,
and probably less. We all know
it is the work Of the devil, but
/ know something else about it
that you don't know. And | am
the very buddy that's going to
tell you what it is right now.
You good orthodox people who
teach that the soul is immortal
are directly responsible for all
the evil that Spiritualism has
ever been able to do in the world.
You teach that dead people are
alive-that the soul leaves the
body and goes off somewhere
and remains a conscious, living,
intelligent entity capable Of
knowing and thinking about it's
earth-life and the friends it left
behind.
Well, that gives the devil the
very chance he has been look
ing for. He wants to get into
the confidence of the people with
his lies, and he comes along and
finds that you have set up a lad
der for him to climb in on. He
finds his audience already be-
lieving that dead people are alive
and ABLE to talk back to folks
on this side of the veil. Then
all he needs to do is to tell the
folks that these living dead peo-
pie are anxious to talk to us, and
he can put up a wire and give
the connection, and it all goes
along like clock-work. No wond.
er Spiritualism grows anc
flourishes under such favorable
conditions.
But suppose the Immorta
Soul belief (Which is nowhere
found in the Bible) had never
been taught. Suppose every
body had been brought up t.
know the truth that dead peo
pie are DEAD-can't you Sc,
how impossible it would hav'
been for the devil to wheedle il
with his Spiritualism lie? I
. dead people are DEAD, that Ger
tainly precludes any possibilit,
of their communicating with tn
living world. But if they ar
alive, as you claim, then wha
is to hinder them from talkin!
with their friends back here
A person who is able to live with
out a body-able to think an
remember without a brain, to sc
without eyes, to hear withou
ears, certainly ought to be- abl
to talk without a tongue. Whe
you come to think about it fror
that angle, the devils claim tina
you can communicate with you
dead friends is not such an al
surd claim, after all. You pee
pie, with your own false teach

ings, have made his lie seem
reasonable.
And so / say, if you can be-
Iieve in the immortal Soul you
can believe in Spiritualisn, for
they are nightly close akin.
