do with labor organizations are in
pcrpieXity and disturbed; and the
restless element of humanity which
the Lord hkened unto the sea, is
roaring. The people, the waves, are
dashing against each other, and there
is "A general condition of unrest in
all the earth, all of these things are
evidence of the fact that the old
world or order Of things have come
to an end and the time is here for
the establishment of the new.
When the Lord called our attention
to the fact that the day of His COM
ing and the setting up of his king
dom would be like those during the
days Of Noah he intended that we
should be able to draw many illus
| trations and pictures as to the char
acter and condition of the times dur
ing the close of the Gospel Age. Dur
ing the days just before the flood the
earth was filled with violence-mean-
ing that life and happiness were
constantly in danger. q believe
all thoughtful persons recognize the
fact that life and happiness are at
this very time in great danger, world
wide and becoming more and more
so as the days go by-This earth is
now being filled with violence). The
people during Noahs time paid no
attention to the warnings given to
them by Noah that their world or
order of things was coming to an
end so it is today the world will not
hear such talk or warnings. There
was but remnant of both man and
beast brought over from the world
that was into this present evil world
and mark you: there will be only a
remnant carried over from this pres
ent evil worlo into the world to come
wherein dwelleth righteousness. But
while there were only eight persons
brought over from the world that
was into this present world, which
runs from the Flood to the second
coming of Christ, there will be mil
| lions carried over from this age into
the world to come for the reason
| that this age or world is more dense
| ly populated than was the first
world But there is one thing GER
tain, and please remember this, that
| the millions carried over from this
age into the next age or world will
| be Just as lonely and lock over a
world of far greater devastation
than Noah and his family, when they
noted complete destruction of all
organizations and life except that
found in the Ark.
In the age, or world, just before
., us, upon the Threshold of which We
are now standing, all the willing anC
i lobedient shall live everlastingly YoU
can rest assured that the millions
carried over from this age through
the great time of trouble, which il
now upon the world, into the age Il
come will be so well classified at tht
hand of Jehovah that they will b.
glad to live willing, humble and ODE
dent lives, and for their obedience
the reward will he life everlasting.
There is always some pain accom-
panying the birth of new condition
but the pain and the agonies tina
will accompany the passing out o
this present order of things and tn
, incoming of the new will be man
, fold greater than it would have bee
had the preachers of the world bee
faithful to their trust and preache
the truth concerning Gods great pla
of salvation. The poor world as
whole is in darkness and total ignor
ance concerning Gods plan of saliva
1, tion for the human race. The preach
ers are more responsible than an
other class of men in the Who'll
world for the recent world wide dc
+ struction of human lives and prop
!, erty and for the further trouble an
destruction that is sure to come i
: the near future. Please be sure t
t read Eek. 33 and 34th chapters
e also lst Cor. 1921.
