that YOU ever heard tell of, then
you are indeed a hopeless case:
We will start with the plain
statement of fact that there are
people who believe the Bible
teaches Eternal Torment for the
wicked, and also people who do
not believe it.
The second fact is that the
minds Of people are not exactly
stationary on the subject. In
other words, a certain percent
age of people are continually
changing from one view to the
other.
The third fact is that. the
changing is all in one direction.
Thousands of people every year
are deserving the old Eternal
Torment doctrine and accepting
a more civilized belief. But not
one single person in all the
worlds history, after having
once got away from the Eternal
Torment belief, has ever gone
back to it.
Now listen to me: If the Eter-
nal Torment theory had any
scriptural foundation-if it had
any merit at all to recommend it
to people-it looks to me like at
least a few now and then, who
get led away from it by mistake,
would eventually discover their
mistake and go back to it. But
nobody ever does. You may
search the world over and [ don't
think you will ever find a per-
son who, after having once got
away from that belief, ever went
back to it. There's a reason.
And the reason is this: When
people get their eyes open and
see the TRUE LIGHT on this
subject, they instinctively
KNOW it is the true light, and
there is no excuse for going in
to their former errors.

RELIGIOUS

Looks to me like religious pre-
JUDGE is about the blindest and
stubbornest thing that ever was.
The world is full of 'isms, land
each one has it's own little gang
Of followers who are ready to
stake their lives on the chance of
their ism" being the only
right ism" So of course all
other "isms" are wrong, and of
the devil.
But | want to say that each
and all Of these different sects
and gangs are unfair to each
other. The truth is that they
are all honest and sincere in
what they believe, and not one
Of them would willingly lend his
influence to the cause of the
devil. The only way the devil
has any part IN these lSms is
just to the extent that he can
keep the people confused and
mixed UP and fighting each
other.
The mere fact that a creed is
wrong is no proof that its ad-
herents are bad people and will
ingly serving the devil. No, [
give them all credit for being
honest and sincere in THINK
ING they are right. They are
badly mistaken in their views of
Gods divine plan, but they are
mot bad people, and they are not
willingly serving the devil. And
any man that says they are is a
liar, whether he knows it or not.

The whole human race today is
aware of the fact that this old
earth is passing through a great
crisis, and that SOMETHING OF
far-reaching consequence to the
people must be the result. The
human mind is in a questioning
attitude, wondering if this really
is the end, and the old cut-and-
dried conceptions Of what is going
TO happen in the wind-up are be-
ing changed rapidly.
Hence the time is ripe for this
New Message, and | want you tc

A REASON"

There are still some old-fash-
Toned and ignorant people in the
world who continue to believe
that the earth is flat and sta
tionary, and that the sun actual
ly rises and sets as it appears to
do. This is because they have
not had the working principles
Of Astronomy explained to their
minds clearly enough SO they can
understand it. But when a per-
son does once see the true light
on the subject, you can set it
down as a sure thing that he will
never go back to his old ignorant
theories any more. Lots of peo-
pie, by being educated to it, turn
from the old false theory to the
new correct theory. But you viii
never find one turning back to
the old way. There's a reason.
And the reason is that when
people once see the true light
they instinctively KNOW it is
the true light, and there is no ex-
cuse for going back into their
former darkness any more.
While a butterfly is still a
worm it thinks that being a
worm is the right thing to do,
land if it. was able to talk it
would put UP a terribly strong
argument against being changed
into anything else. But just as
soon as the orderly processes of
nature have changed that worm
into a butterfly, it never wants
to be a worm any more. Worms
are continually changing to but
terflies, but you never heard Of
a butterfly changing back to q
worm. The changing is all il
one direction. Again there is E
reason. The larger and happier
life of the butterfly is such ar
improvement over it's former
worm condition. With it's beau.
tiful colored wings it can fiji
among the sWeet-smelling flow
ers and enjoy it's little life to the
very limit. It can look down or
the worm and see how little ano
ugly the worm is, and it would
be a mighty big fool butterf,
that would want to change bacl
to a worm.

THE lOOO-YEAR
DAY.

people away from the old idea
that the Second Coming of
Christ means the lend of time"
or the lend of the world" They
think that the very minute the
Second Advent occurs right then
everything pertaining to mans
life on earth will be wound up
and done. They think people
will not live on the earth any
more after Jesus comes. They
expect the Judgment Day to be
just "a hours long, and all the
affairs of this earth are to be
wound up in that "a hours. Or
maybe in twelve hours, or less.
Anyhow, it is to be just one lit
eral day, and at the end of that
day about half the folks will be
taken up to heaven and the re-
mainder sent down to hell to
burn and suffer eternally.
That is the crude and ignorant
orthodox idea of how it will be.
But the scriptures, do not teach
any such stuff. The scriptures
everywhere plainly teach that
Christ is to come back here to
rule and reign as a literal earth
ly King for q thousand years,
and that whole thousand years
will be the Judgment Day.
Christ will be King over the
entire earth. Literally, He will
be King Of kings, because there
will be other kings and rulers
under Him. During this Gospel
Age He is selecting a little COM
pany Of FaithfulFollowers who
are to be "kings and priests, and
reign with Christ a thousand
years"
The people who make up the
population Of the earth will still
be here just as literally as they
are now. They will still have to
eat and sleep and carry on the
ordinary affairs of everyday
life. And countless millions of
the dead will be resurrected and
take their place in the living
world again.
But don't get the idea that
everything will be absolutely
perfect from the beginning OF
this Millennial Reign. There
will still be sin and wickedness
in the world, which will have tc
be gradually stamped out. PEG.
pie will still be born, and people
will still die. But they will moi
die as young as they do now
The average lifetime will be
heightened out to hundreds OF
years like it used to be. The
prophet tells us that "the chile
shall die a hundred years DID,
which is the same as saying thai
a person only a hundred year:
Ola is SClll a cnllQ.
And concerning the reign o.
Christ, we are told in First Cor
inthians 15:25-26: For he mus
reign till he hath put all hi!
enemies under his feet. The las
enemy that shall be abolished i
DEATH"
So we see that during the reigl
of Christ the human race vii
finally reach the point wher
good people will not die at all
while those who persist in bein,
wicked will all die and disappea
from the earth. Then it will b
a perfect earth with a perfec

THE ANTI STRIKE
CLAUSE REMAINS
In the Railroad Bill. Action
of Congress Will Super
sede Amy
ACT OF THE PRESIDENT

Washington, Dec. 20.-After a
the Senate last night failed to
reach a vote on the Cummins' rail-
road bill, but shortly before midnight
adjourned with an agreement to
vote finally on the bill at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon. A concur
rent agreement also was called for
a final vote at 1880 o'clock today
on the sugar control bill.
A proposal by Senator La Toilette,
Republican, Wisconsin,, upon which
he plans to speak today, extending
government control of railroads for
two years, alone prevented passage
of the bill last night, the Senate hav-
ing disposed of all other important
amendments, including rejection of
all efforts to eliminate or modify the
anti-strike clauses.
The agreement for final disposi-
tion today of the railroad and sugar
control bills cleared the way for ad-
journment of Congress for a two
weeks recess until January fifth No
doubt was expressed by leaders that
the recess plans would be interfered
with, although for a time last night
objection to the proposals for votes
on the sugar and railroad measures
threatened to disrupt the program.
During the debate leaders watch
ed closely for word from the White
House on the railroad administra-
ton regarding the Presidents plan
for dealing with the railroads. Un-
confirmed reports were current that
the President was preparing to an
nounce he would extend government
| control to December 81, 1920, but
| leaders said that even should an
| order come extending government
| control, the legislation returning
| the carriers to private ownership
would, when enacted, supersede al
| executive order. Although Leaders
felt confident of sending the legis
lation to conference for adjustmen
during the holiday recess, they sait
final enactment was not contemplated
I before reconvening of Congress il
| January.
