War has taught that there is econ

have been discarded in times gone BY,
because they had begun to show signs
of wear.
The higher class Of shoe manufact-
urers, far from being discounted by
the widespread adoption of this policy,
have taken an active part in en-
couraging it. Repairing departments,
thoroughly equipped with ali the ma
chlnery necessary to reconstruct old
shoes. have been established by a
number of large concerns The shoe

American in footwear is fastidious

There is a growing demand in the
South for the better grades of mer-
chandisc, and Southern merchants are
insisting upon receiving goods which
iii other days they did not seek. With
prices stabilized, orders will be placed
by Southern merchants, and the cotton
mills will resume operations on a ca
pacity basis. AS soon as the peace
treaty is signed, raw cotton will sell, |
believe, at much higher prices than the
spectators now anticipates
Buyers take the view that the mar
ket in cotton goods has, in the main
been stabilized by recent reductions in
prices. In some fancy high-grade mate
rial there will be reductions for the
fall buying season, but these hardly
will be made until the middle of May

that prices had been entirely too high

Mr. Emery's company has engaged

"The proper attitude toward foreign

long failed to realize that applicants

different conditions and that it is not
unreasonable for them to make differ

domestic buyers do. They must APP

to teach that Christ DID come in 1872, but
that He came spiritually and invisibly.
Russell further says, on Page 81:
During this time, too, we came to recog-
nize the difference between our Lord as the
Man Who gave Himself and as the One
Who would come again a Spirit Being"
The Devil tricked Russell, and brought
him under an awful delusion; and this, the
beginning of his terrible delusions, was re-
sponsible for his blasphemous teachings re-
garding Jesus the Christ.
Russell further says:
$50 paid Mr.. Barbour's expenses (Bar-
bour was one of the Adventist leaders) to
come to see me at Philadelphia during the
summer of 1876, to show me fully and
Scripturaly, if he could, that the prophecies
indicated 1874 as the date on which the
Lords presence and the harvest began. He
came, and the evidence satisfied me-
No doubt Russell was easily satisfied, as is
abundantly shown by the terrible delusions
with which his books abound.
Russell further says:
"I at once saw that the special times in
which we live have an important bearing
upon our duty and work as Christ's dis
ciples; that since we are living in the time
of the harvest, the harvest work should be
done, and that Present Truth is the sickle
by which the Lord would haye us do the
reaping work everywhere among His chill
dren."
Russell continues:
Il enquired of Mr.. Barbour as to what
was being done by him in The Herald He
replied that nothing was being DONE
Page 54 continues:
Pastor Russell took the place of Mr..
Barbour"
Every well-informed Bible student knows
that Seventh Day Adventism is bundle of
damnable heresies, and that their interpre-
tations of prophecy are unscriptural, silly,
absurd and ridiculous
Seventh Day Adventism is noted for its
deceitfulness, lying, and hypocrisy
tising their meetings under cover and selling
books to the unwary with no indication that
they are Seventh Day Adventist publ
cations.
The Devil, having finished with one agent
and having deceived lot of people with the
teaching that Christ was coming literally in
1872, simply chose another agent to deceive
lot more people by telling them that Christ
DID come in 1872 or 1874 (sometimes they
have it one date, and sometimes another)-
that He came spiritually and invisibly. This
teaching is simply demoniacal lie.
We have letters in our possession written
by people who have embraced Russellism
and Millennial Dawnism, and in these letters

sails under false colors, and practices lying
| deceit and hypocrisy.
The publication of this article is not with
the hope of rescuing very many from the
clutches of this iniqlitous system, but it is
published for the purpose Of instructing and
warning others, lest they become enticed,
ensnared, and destroyed in the meshes Of
this blasphemous false system.
Russell's mo HELL" "SECOND
CHANCE" doctrines are wholly inspired of
the Devil and for the purpose of deceiving,
ensnaring, and destroying the unwary.
Russell's teaching in regard to Jesus the
Christ ought to be enough to sicken and dis
gust every man and woman who has any
knowledge of the teaching of the Word of
God relative to the Person, ministry, and
glory of Jesus the Christ.
Russell's definition of DEATH is a lie
from start to finish!
For deceitful handling of the Word of
God Russellisn1- Millennial Dawnism can
not be surpassed!
We send this article forth, earnestly pray
ing to God that it may be used of Him, in
the Name of Jesus, in the power of the Holy
Spirit, to open the eyes Of some who are
now covered with darkness, because of hav-
ing been ensnared and trapped into this ini-
quitous system, and that multitudes may be
warned to beware of a movement which is
afraid to come right out boldly and adver-
tise its meetings as RUSSELLITE MEET
INGS and print its papers as RUSSELL
ITE PAPERS.

IN TROD u c TION

At my request, Apostle Jordan has pre-
pared the following article on BIAS
PHEMOUS RUSSELLISM - MILLEN-
NAL DAWNISM, setting forth in the
left-hand column the false teachings of this
iniquitous SYSTEM and then in the right
hand column he has placed before the read
ers the plain Word of God, which shows
even to the casual reader that RusselPs doc
trines are the doctrines of demons that they
came out of the pit, and deserve to be char
acterized in the words of the Bible as
"damnable heresies"
Spiritualism, Christian Science, and Rus
sellism are three of the Devils master
pieces in these the last days of the Church
Period, all intended by the Devil as the prep
aration for the reception, by the apostate
church and the world, of the Devils master
man, the Beast-the Ruler of the Revived
Roman Empire-the ANTICHRIST.
The deceit and hypocrisy of Russellism as
a system, is well known. Their meetings
are advertised in such a way as to give no
clue to the fact that they are Russellite or
Millennial Dawn meetings.
They pose as the |. B. S. A. (Interna-
tional Bible Students Association, for the
purpose of deceiving the public and leading
people to believe that they are great world
wide Bible association, made up of Bible
students; when the fact of the matter is, it
is simply the same old blasphemous Russell
isn-Milennial Dawnism, under a new
name for the sole purpose of deceiving be-
quilting, and leading the people astray.
Papers and pamphlets are printed and cir
culated, which, like wolves in sleeps cloth
ing, can only be discovered to be blasphem-
Gus Millennial Dawnism when
the mask is torn off.
Thousands read these papers and pam
phlets, little suspecting that they are reading
Russellite or Millennial Dawn paper.
Examples of the most shameless lying,
deceit hypocrisy, and trickery of Millennial
Dawn advocates have been numerous.
Russellism, or Milennial Dawnism, is
simply Seventh Day Adventism spiritual
ized
In proof of the above assertion we quote
the following, from Pages So and 54 of the
Seventh Volume, entitled, "The Finished
Mystery"
Among other theories, I (that is, Rus
sell) stumbled upon Adventism.'
The very same prophecies interpreted by
Adventists literally have been interpreted by
Russell spiritually. For instance: The Ad-
ventists taught that Christ would come liter
ally in 1872; and when the day arrived and
Christ did not come literally, and, later, Rus
sell got in touch with Adventism, he began

RusselPs interpretations of prophecy are
so absolutely silly and ridiculous that it is
astounding that any one with common sense
could accept them for minute!
