President Oeden's Address.
The address Friday night was given
by President A. r. ogden, of Nevada.
He based his remarks on Revelation
1919, 10, IF any man worships the beast
and his image, and receive his mark
in his forehead, or in his hand. the
same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God. which is poured\ out
without mixture into the cup Of his
indignation; and ne shall be tormented
with fire and birthstone in the pres
ence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb"
President Ogden said: Those words
make up the most fearful threatening
that is recorded between the lids of the
word Of God. This is Gods last mes
sage that shall go to the world before
the coming Of Jesus Christ.
The Mark Of the Beast.
"The mark Of the beast is just the
opposite of the seal of God. In the
bible. sign, seal, and mark are used in
terchangeably. In order for a seal to
be genuine. it must have the mark OF
the one possessing authority, his posi-
ton. and the territory over which he
holds jurisdiction. such as George
Washington. president Of the United
States. The seal of God is in the
fourth, on Sabbath, commandment. 1t
is found In no other of the command
ments. It here states that he is the
Lord God, creator Of heaven and earth.
The Lords seal is his Sabbath. We
read in Ezekiel 2O:12,2o that the Sab
bath is. his sign. The mark Of the
beast Is the counterfeit Of the Sabbath,
or the rival day" Mr.. Ogden read from
the Catholic "Doctrinal Catechism'
showing that Catholics claim to have
changed the day of worship from the
seventh day OF the week to the first
day Of the week.
He continued: There Is n differ
ence between the seventh day, Sab
bath, and any other day in the week
In the same way that we might show
disrespect for the nation by tramplins
upon it's flag, so we may show disre-
spect for the Lord by trampling upon
his Sabbath, 1t is the mark that God
has given by which we may recognize
his authority
