THE PEACE TABLE,

They're gathering round the worlds peace
table
These learned men. 90 Just and able,
And they would fain evolve a plan
To guide the future course OF man.
The fates Of nations. small and great,
The destinies OF Ships OF State
The welfare OF the human race,
Are problems they will have 70 face
In answer to wars stern behest
Ten million souls have gone to rest;
while myriad heroes, MANNED for life.
Are victims OF wars mortal strife.
In vain 1t must, II shall not he.
This sacrifice for Liberty;
The oppressed Of earth must never feel
Again the crush OF the 'tyrants heel
Autoeracy from earth must so
And take its place IN realms below;
Unrighteousness must pass away
Before the dawn OF brighter day.
In storm or calm. whate'er betide
May Justice all their actions guide;
And may We have when their iabora
ceaas,
A thousand years and more Of peace.

Makes N Difference.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 19.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: The agitation in
favor OF the disfranchised citizens Of
the south is untimely. The presi-
dent has his hands full in making
the world safe for the democracies.
It is perhaps an oversight, like the
omission Of Ireland in the list of
small nations slated for freedom.
However, we should be patient, the
disfranchlsed citizens in the south
live under the same laws the demo-
Gratis make for themselves, while the
peoples of small nations abroad, live
under laws made for them by for
eign masters. Moreover, it, makes
quite a difference whose OK is being
hooked. WATCHFUL WAITING.

HAS S
COME?

The question of whether Jesus
has already come back to earth
in his invisible form is a matter
that ought to have some atten-
ton. The average person who
has never given the subject any
thought will promptly answer,
"No, of course he has not come"
But don't be so sure. about it.
There is a strong line Of proof
that he HAS come, and that it
is his presence here that is over
turning the kingdoms Of men.
This will bea surprising thing
to you if you have never studied
it; but the more you look into it
the more reasonable and proba-
BILE it seems.
Let me call your attention to
the fact that Jesus, at his first
coming, was on the earth 80
years before he attracted much
attention, and before very many
people knew or cared anything
about it. Then followed about
three-and-a-half years Of his
public ministry, during which
time he became widely known.
Then after his death and resur-
rection he was here 40 days in
a body that could appear and
disappear at will.

And then the Jews would have
apologized to him and turned
him loose; and | think some big
fat priest would have patted him
on the shoulder and said: "All
right, Jesus, you go ahead and
be a spiritual King here among
us, and do all the good you can
toward the moral uplift of the
community. We were mistaken
about what you were driving at
in your talk about being a King.
We thought you were a Socialist
or a Bolshevist or something of
that sort, and that you were
plotting to overthrow Caesars
government. But we see now
that you have no designs against
Caesar, and so you are all right"
What an easy way that would
have been for Jesus to get out
of the difficulty and save his life.
But did Jesus do it? He did not.
That fact within itself proves
that he did come to be a literal
earthly King, and that he was
too brave and true to deny it,
even in the face of death.

weight toward getting him cru
than any other-was that
he claimed to be the King of the
Jews. And you know that was
a fact. He DID make that
claim. And no matter what
sort of a spiritual interpreter
ton YOU might be inclined to
put on it, you know very we'll
that the Jews would naturally
give it a LITERAL interpreter
ton.
And they began to accuse him, say
ing, We found this fellow ~perverting
the nation, and forbidding to give
tribute to Caesar, saying that he him
self is Christ a King.-Luke 1872. !
And from th%enceforth PLAT sought
to release him; but the Jews cried out,
saying, if thou let this man go thou
are. not Caesars friend: whatsoever
maketh himself a King speaketh
against Oaesar.-John 1912.
You see they thought he was
claiming to be a literal earthly
King, because they complained
that his wanting to be a King
brought him into collision with
Caesar. Now if he had just
been claiming to be a spiritual
King and nothing more-just a
sort of far-away, indefinite
MORAL force like the milk-and-
mush Christianity of today
what would Caesars friends
have cared about that? Nothing
at all. You see that "spiritual''
business would have been entire
ly out of Caesars line, and
would not have conficted with
his interests nary bit. There
would have been no occasion fol
Caesars friends to get jealous
and raise a fuss about it.
But you see they DID gel
Jealous, and that proved that
they THOUGHT Jesus was
claiming to be a literal earthly
King land that part of it was
what they objected to.
Now you can't deny that Jesus
knew what they were thinking
and he knew that his life was a
stake, too. So if his claims tx
Kingship were not literal, RICH
then was the time for him t,
have said so. He could hav'
said: ooh, you people are mis-
taken about me. You think
came to be a literal earthly King
but | did not. My Kingdom i

You see, then, that there we're
three stages Of his first pres
ence. Now since | have learned
the truth about the type" idea
that runs through all Gods
plans, it seems reasonable to me
that the three stages of Jesus
first presence were meant for q
TYPE Of three stages Of his Sec
ond presence.
Again, in some places the seq
ond Coming IS spoken Of as Sc
cret | ke a thief in the night,
and in other places it is said to
be with great publicity so that
all will see it. Now you know
both Of these conditions cannot
be true at one and the same
time. Why, then, is it unreas-
enable to think that maybe he
would core secretly and invis-
IDLY at first, and be in the world
without the world knowing it, to
correspond with the 80 years of
his private and unknown life the
other time?
And then the second stage
the time of calling his bride up
into the air to the Marriage
Supper of the Lamb-would cor
respond to his public ministry
on earth when he called and sent
out his disciples. We know that
the ministry period was three
and-a-half years, and many care
full students believe that the
marriage supper period will also
be three-and-a-half years.
And then at last would come
the final Glorious Appearing,
when every eye shall see him,
which would correspond with his
glorified resurrection presence
on the other occasion.
When you stop to think about
it, it is not half as unreasonable
as it at first seems.
In the 18th chapter of Revela-
ton you find Jesus seated on a.
white cloud with a sharp sickle
in his hand and reaping the har-
vest of the earth, which indi-
Gates that he is then present on
or near the earth, and that his
power is being manifested in the
events that take place. Then
several chapters further on you
find the nations of men still do
ing business here, which shows
that his presence in chapter Ia
was not the final wind-up. 1t all
indicates that the second COM
ing is not just one single event
and all over at once, as we have
been taught, but rather a series
of events reaching over several
years, and finally eliminating
in the great Visible Appearing
when he publicly takes the reins
of government from men and be-
gins to rule over the earth.
There is also a strong line OF
Chronological Proof which I will
not enter into at this time. But
it all fits together SO perfectly
that the honest and unprejudic
, ed student is bound to give to il
some consideration.

THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Continued from May number.)

\COIlIlIueu from MAY numDer.) |
AS soon as it developed that
the Jews were going to reject
their King and .that the Messiah
mic Kingdom would have to be
postponed till a later time, then
it was that the Gospel Age was
brought in as a sort of parenthe-
tical period to bridge over the
time that f1eshly Israel would
have to suffer for her sins. Dur
ing that time the mystery" of
the Church was to be developed.
The Church was entirely a new
thing-a mystery-which the
patriarchs and prophets Of Old
Testament times knew nothing
about. Lets see what Paul says
about this new mystery" call
ed the Church:
"How that by revelation he made
known unto me the mystery, which
in other ages was not made known
unto the sons of men, as it is now re-
vealed unto his holy apostles and pro-
phets by the Spirit; that the Gentiles
should be fellow-heirs, and of the
same body, and partakers of his
promise in Christ by the gospel. And
to make all men see what is the fell
lowship Of the mystery, which from
the beginning of the world hath been
hid in God."-Ephesians 1888.
There is no use for the old
standpatters to keep on arguing
that the Church and the King
dom are the same. The evidence
to the contrary is too clear and
convincing. The Old Testa-
ment prophets saw numerous
visions of the Kingdom and told
how it would be; but they never
saw any vision of the Church
that was a new thing that they
knew absolutely nothing about.
You read about the Kingdom all
through the Old Testament, but
you never find a word about the
Church there. You may begin
at the first of Genesis to look
for the Church, and you may
turn it over page after page,
and you may read chapter after
chapter and verse after verse,
and you will never find the
Church mentioned in the entire
Old Testament. You will not
find it until you come to the 10th
chapter of Matthew in the New
Testament.
And l say unto thee, that thou ar
Peter, and upon this rock | will buile
. my church; and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it.-Matt. 1913.
Right there is the very first
mention of the church IN the
scriptures. The church, then is
a new thing which came int
existence after the King was re
iected. In the beginning of hi:
ministry Jesus didn't say any
thing about establishing
Church. He simply went abou
preaching that "the Kingdom o
heaven is at hand" He dldn'
mean a spiritual kingdom or
kingdom up in the skies-hl'
meant the literal Messlanl
Kingdom on earth: And
WAS at hand. And if the Jew
had accepted Jesus as thel
Messiah THEM, and allowed hin
to set up his earthly Kingdom
THEN, there never would hav
been any Church nor any Cos
pei Age.
