THE CHURCH IS NOT THE
KINGDOM.

O41S INV ASoNSAN ASNoO>A |
Westminster College, New Whining
ton, Pa, and Moderator Of the GeneT-
al Assembly Of the United Presbv-1
terian Church. Now for goodness
sake don't faint nor have a JENNY
fit when you see that name Russell.
[ was just going to say (if you would
quit bowling long enough to let me)
that this is not Pastor Russell, nor
any of his kin-folks. This Russell is
one of the highly respectable ortho-
dox gang. He believes in eternal tor
ment and all that nice, pleasant truck.
But listen what he says about the
Kingdom:
A traditional view as to the
Kingdom in so far as modern
Christians have views, is that
the Church is the Kingdom,
that the Church will sometime
take time to pray and thus get
increased spiritual voltage and
be able to cope with her work Of
bringing the gospel in saving
power to all men. With this
view it is supposed that some
time there will be aggressive
successful evangelization in all
lands, that some morning an AS
sociated Press telegram will be
published stating that the last
bad man in the most remote is
land has given himself to Christ
and gone home to "say grace" at
table and "set up the family
altar"
A more worthy view, held
largely by the leaders Of spiri-
tual thought, is that there can
be no Kingdom without the pres
ence Of the King and that the re-
turn Of Jesus Christ to this
world is "the blessed hope Of
the Church.
The Church is not the King
dom, but the herald of the King
dom. In it there is the contin-
uation Of Gods elective method,
begun with Abraham, continued
in Israel, and extended to the
Gentle world. In Abraham God
chose q worthy man to be his
pupil in the solitudes of the Sy-
rian uplands, to learn the les
sons of monotheism and faith,
and thus be a channel Of blessing
to the whole world. God chose
Israel for the sake of blessing
the nations and reaching world
wide Kingdom blessings. When
Israel failed God did not change
his method, but proceeded to
choose a spiritual Israel as his
Church, so that Kingdom bless
ings might yet reach all hu.
mainly. Gods electing grace ir
choosing the few that he might
show forth his glory to the many
"in the ages to come aWakens
no protest in the thinking mind
The Church is the herald Of
glorious Kingdom, but it is no
the Kingdom.
It has been urged that the pre-
Kingdom view Of the Secont
Coming is dishonoring to tn
Holy Spirit in that his work dur
ing the present age is not sup
posed to secure the conversion
of all men. It is q, sufficien
answer to say that the Hol,
Spirit is not dishonored if we &C
cord to him the full scope of di
vine purpose in his activity. ]

SOME GAMERS UNCERTAIN.

Packers on Eastern Shore are Not at

The uncertainty prevailing in the
canned goods markets has led to the
decision of some Eastern Shore pack
ers not to enter into contracts for
their supply of tomatoes this year.
This will mean that they will take
their chances on the open market.
There seems but little prospect now OF
so cent tomatoes, with the cancella-
tion by the government of many con-
tracts for canned goods, thus throw
ing on the market, at high prices
much of the last pack. This decision
is not general among the Gamers, but

that he had met Sanchez, and his

CHAPTER II.
The Prison Ship.

The greater portion of that voyage
of SO days 1 would blot entirely from
memory if possible. I cannot hope to
describe it in any detail-the foul
smells, the discomfort, the ceaseless
horror of food, the close companion

some days, the black, sleepless nights,
the poisonous air, and the brutality of
guards. / can never forget these
things, for they have Scared my soul.
The hatch above remained open, but
carefully guarded night and day, while
we were permitted on deck for air and
exercise only in squads of ten, two
hours out of every twenty-four. This
alone served to break the dread mo-
notony of the voyage. From our exer-
else on deck we generally returned be-
low drenched to the skin, but glad to
even pay that price for two hours of
fresh air, and an opportunity to gaze
about at sea and sky. We were herd
ed well forward, a rope dividing us
from the main deck, which space the
passengers aft used as a promenade.
There were only three women aboard.

planned what had occurred at your
