Now, | ann just going TO say right
here and stop will leave the rest
OF my statement because | dont feel
like talking tonight on account of a
llttl4 physical inability. The sub
ject is accept the teachings of the
international Bible Students in the
place of the teachings of the Church
denominations. And you talk about
is no freedom eX-
cept among the International Bible
Students. They are bound to God
alone and all they do is upon the
alter of sacrifice and | want to say
here that those two hundred thouS-
and ministers did not feed at the In
ternational Bible Students table.
The international Bible Students do
not have horde of preachers to
support; neither have they got the
world strewn from end to end with
half-finished and bob-tailed church
es; they have no such responsibility
as that. This remark is not calcu-
lated to cast any reflection but it is
the SolemS ruth. If thede is no OBJ
jection, will stop right here. |
will close it. (Applause)
(Now at this time, the applause
having subsidized, the following pro-
ceedings are had)
MR.. SMlTHERMAN: Rev. John
son will close his side of the ques
hon in thirty minutes talk. Gap
plause.)
REV. JOHNSON: | want to give
my opposent credit for having some
conscience. He started to say a big
ger one than he started and he
stopped. Now. he attesnpted to dis
prove what said and what ] said
was simply what the Scriptures say:
that we should fear Him who can
destroy the soul as well as the body
but destroy" simply means that
God has the power to cast that soul
in hell because it says. destroy both
soul and body in hell, body in the
grave and the soul in the other place
He said that the International Bible
Students Association has no long
string of bob-tailed churches and
got lot of applausee for the state
ment, but want to say that is TO
the credit of the Church Denomina-
tionS. The reason the International
Bible Students Association has so
much money tG give my worthy
opponent to publish long articles in
the newspaper every week and to
rent the hall and pay the Stenogra
nh onI oil that &c hnnnhtSn thaN
not spreading that money so far;
they are just Senterng it in certain
places and he has plenty of it. Gap

Now, want to ask the question,
brothers and sisters, what is the In
ternational Bible Students Associa-
ton doisg for the good of the
world? How many orphanages has
the International Bible Studests'
Association established? -Gnter-

"A VOICE FROM THE AUDI
ENCE: None.
REV. MIR. JOHNSON: (Continu-
ing) How many Hospitals with free
wards for those who are unable to
pay are maintained by the Internal
ional Bible Students Association?
How many rescue Missions in the
large cities to save the green coun-
try girl and the green farm girl as
they enter these cities, from de-
signing men to get them out of the
things into which they have fallen
and been entrapped and giving
them chance for life and respec-
liability interrupted by voice
from the audience)
A VOICE FROM THE AUDI

REV. MIR. JOHNSON: (Continu-
