Why was it that Mathewson, who was 6 foot and

himself, was out of the game at thrty-seven? Whv

on the whole creation. In Cen
esis 3:17 God says to Adam:
Cursed is the GROUND for. thy
sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all
the days Of thy life"
So we see that the very
ground is under the curse, and
that's why weeds and briars,
thorns and thistles, grow so
much more easily than corn and
wheat.
But this condition of things is
not going to exist always. It
will all be changed pretty soon.
When the curse is removed from
man it will also be removed from
the ground and all the material
world. Let us get this idea
straight: Christ came to RE-
STORE all that was lost in
Adams fall, and that will in
clude the restoration of that per-
feet Paradise here on earth.
Adam didn't lose any PARKWAY
heaven and hence no far-away
heaven will be RESTORED.
There will be just this difference
between the Paradise that was
lost and the one that will be re-
stored: The beginning of the
human race was very small, and
so a small Paradise Ga
Garden) was all they needed.
But now the race has multiplied
and filled the whole earth, and
so the restored Paradise will be
just that much bigger-it will
cover the entire earth.
That will be all the heaven we
will need, and all that God ever
intended that we should have
Those who wouldn't be satisfied
with that wouldn't be satisfied

that God make, and the only
thing that He can do with sucl
people will be to utterly wipe
them out Of existence. An(
that's what He will do.

"GOING UP"

The old creeds tell us that
good people go UP to heaven
when they die. It is a most rid
iculous idea, when you stop to
consider that out in the bound
less space of the universe there
is no UP nor DOWN.. AWAY
from the center of the earth is
UP, and TOWARD the center of
the earth is w and that's
all there is to it. The sense of
up and down that we have is due
entirely to the force of gravita-
ton and if we could leave the
earth and it would be just a
bright star in the heavens, and
it would look like it was UP.
Suppose two good men die at
exactly the same moment, one
here in the United States, and
the other in China. They both
start to heaven. The American
saint will go UP from this side
of the earth, and the Chinese
saint will go UP from the other
side Of the earth, and they will
be going in exactly opposite di-
rections. The farther they go
the farther apart they will get.
At that rate, when will they get
together? And yet we are asked
to believe that they both start
ed to the same heaven. It is SO
ridiculous as to be almost anus
ing.
A great many of these foolish
beliefs are due to pure un-adul-
terated ignorance. IF people
would only stop and think a lit
tie, they would soon see how i'm.
possible some Of their beliefs
are.
OF course there must be {
place somewhere out in space
where God has His headquar
tiers. Whether or not there is
any material City or Throne Of
anything else that would be visi
BILE to our human eye-sight is /;
difficult question. But where
ever or whatever that heaven is
it is not UP any more thai
DOWN.. It is merely GU.
FROM the earth.
And, furthermore, it is m,
honest opinion that the save
people of this earth will neve
go to that heaven. When Go

DIR. SCOFIELD's TESTIMONY

Dr. y. l. ScOneld is known and re-
~cognized all over the world as one of
the soundest and safest as we'll as one
of the ablest orthodox Bible scholars
now living. He is the author of the
famous "Scofield Reference Bible"
which is known and used everywhere.
The charge of being a "heretic" has
never been brought against DR..
Scofield, but / want to call your at
tention to the fact that he agrees
with old "heretic Pearson" that the
Church is not the Kingdom, but that
the Kingdom is to come and rule the
earth after the Church has finished it's
earthly mission. This is "pernicious |
heresy" when | say it, but what are
you going to do about it when DR..
Scofield says it? Here are his own
words:
The first thing we need to re-
member, and always to remem-
Der, when we are studying the
prophetic picture of the King
dom is that it is not in any sense
whatever a picture Of the
Church. We are told distinctly
by the Apostle Paul that the Old
Testament prophet did not see
the Church. (Eph. 3:1-10.)
The Old Testament prophet saw
a world wide salvation; saw not
only Israel as the object and
beneficiary of that salvation, but
also the Gentiles; and you know
how copiously the Apostle Paul,
in the ninth, tenth and eleventh
chapters of Romans, quotes
from the Old Testament prophe-
tic writing, to show that the
Gentle was always in Gods
thought in connection with the
saving work of the Messiah.
That Is the interregnum be-
tween the crucifixion and the Sc
cond coming of Christ he would
bring into being a wholly new
thing my Church." (Mat.
1919, was "a mystery hid in
God" (Eph. 3:9.)
What we need to study is
what the Old Testament prophet
saw concerning the Kingdom.
For that which was the ultimate
thing in the prophets vision is
now the ultimate thing in our
vision. The Church is being
built, we ourselves are in it and
of 1.-THE Kingdom is yet fu-
ture. We still pray, 'Thy King
dom come"
"The wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with the kid; and the calf and the
young lion and the failing. together;
and a little child shall lead Them
lisa. 11:6.
That is, ferocity is to be taken
even from the animal world
During the Kingdom Age, when
Jesus Christ is reigning here, he
will not suffer even the beasts to
tear each other. Do you think
that there were dog-fights anc
bear-baitings in the Garden Of
Eden? And here is a scene II
which nature once more IS II
harmony with the great law O.
righteousness and love.
The ultimate vision of the pro
phet is that Kingdom of right
eousness and peace on thu
earth, with re-gathered lsrae

A food map Of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the flu
ture does not hold threat Of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there Is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
tafter-the-war needs, which, with those
:of Serbia, must be included in this
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more in her own

seat of government the little nation S
first thought was to express her graft
tude TO the Commission for Relief in
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such Il map for Ameri-
cans because there IS no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs OF
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE aanters.
England France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all Of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet Immediate
needs, but their future presents serl-
GUS difficulties. The same is true Of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies
Most of Russia is already In the
throes Of famine, and 100000 people
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before another spring thou
sands of them inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Ealtic re-

gions, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanla and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near, Al
though starvation is not yet imminent
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strln-
geDcies. !.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be ham
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum Of 20000,000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bed
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we viii see in Other parts OF
Europe repetition of the Russian de.
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been In vain.

With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July l
and October 10 We shipped 65,9S0,305
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 100000 bushels of wheat and
flour In terms of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton of hostilities we are able to re-
turn to normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships.
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There Is wheat enough avail
able to have white loaf at the com.
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep
steady stream Of wheat and flour mov-
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had a bare surplus of
100000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability Of bread
,famine-and In Europe bread Is by far
the most important article In the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early In the fall. By the first
of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
Ihome-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the lse Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller cabled
| that only IL we sent an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July l could he
take the responsibility OF assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American pe0-
pie was 85,000,000 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January 1 and
July 1. Out Of harvest which gave
us only 20,000,000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141, 100000 bushels.
Titus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
| years figures will be bettered.

When the sun arose this morning
and spread its genial rays over the
earth, this Sabbath day, during Xmas
time, making it "a day of joy and
light" | thought of how different ma
ture was treating the earth at this
time last year, when the ground was
covered with snow, and the air felt
az though it came from the northern
icebergs Of the arctic circle. In an
other way we can feel and contem.
plate another contrast between this
Xmas and last, then our minds could
but feebly picture the dark and dread
full tragedy which had the world in
its monstrous grip, causing sorrow
and grief to spread their dark and
gloomy mantles over the earth. and
pointing their spectral fingers to the
blood-stained fields of Europe. There,
where our men had gone to do go
brave, so wonderful part, in helping
their stricken brothers, giving them
hope in life again, and filling their
hearts with courage to hold out to
the end. that end which meant free
dom for all. Our hearts are SPELL
bound, and we are full of the deepest
admiration and reverence for the spir-
| it which animated those men to crush
the power. and break the bonds which
give liberty henceforth to the peoples
of the earth. And we hope this lib
erty will be an enduring one, after the
great statesmen Of more than men
! tai genius, it seems, have had their
conference. whom we pray will be
guided by a supreme power, who made
the earth, and the world, who rules
the..frmament. and controls the stars,
and holds the mighty ocean at His
will; ! say the contrast is great. now
that we are rejoicing this Xmas, that
peace is spreading her wings over the
earth, bringing healing to the hearts
Of SO many thousands, reuniting those
whom the ocean has separated, and
giving hope to the despairing ones.
One thought strikes US with won
der, and that is that the birthplace
Of Jesus is in control of the Chris
tian, and will no more be profaned by
the sacriligious touch of the cruel
Moslem, who has desecrated that sa-
cred ground for hundreds Of years.
The shepherds can now hear the song
of the angels with rejoicing hearts,
and the stars can shine from out that
Judean sky with greater splendor,
and Thy kingdom come seems ap-
preaching nearer than ever it has be-
fore. Nd. L. STAINBACK.
