You have thirty minutes.
MIR. HILL: Just at this time wish
to make what might he termed by
some an awful statement. charge
the Church Denominations are i'm
league with the Devil blind and mis-
represent Gods character and plan.
This charge is made against the De-
nominations and not aglins! the
individuals. We Will now listen to
both sides for moment: God and
the International Bible Siudets on
the one side and the devil and the
Denominations on the other side.
(ApplauSe)
God tells us that the wages of sin
is death; Romans 6:23; that diSobed-
fence to his law brings death Genesis
2:17 that the soul that sinneth il
shall die Edekel 1894; that when Il
person dies he is unconcious has no
memory cannot speak, breathe. think
cannot work, has no feelings and
knows nothing. EccleSiastes 9:5, 6:1O
Psalms SO, 115:17; 1929; 1854;
the International Bible Students are
teaching the same thing. But on the
other hand, ce devil says, We shall
moi surely die, and that when man
appears TO die, he is then more
alive than ever. The Church De-
nominations are teaching the same
old lie.
God tells us that the literal earth
abideth forever-EccleSias a;
that he formed ID to be inhabited
Isaiah 1918; thai he gave the earth
10 the childron of men-PsalmS
115:i6. The International Bible
are telling the people the same thing
The devil, through hisscunning
and binding influence, is telling
the people that the earth is to be
burned up. The Denominations are
teaching the same old thing, that the
i earth is TO b burnd up.
God tells us that He will establish
a Kingdom here upon this earth;
that His Kingdom shall break in
pieces and consume all the beastly
! kingdoms of thu earth; that his King
dom will stand forever-Daniel2:44
that when His Kingdom is n opera
tion, all the dead, both Of the just
and unjust, will be resurrected, for
the purpose of giving life everlasting
TO the just and giving the unjust an
opportunity, through obedience, to
gain life-John 5:28-29. The Inter
national Bible Students are teach
ing the same thing TO those who will
hear (Applause)
The devil, through his tact and
cunning, is teaching the people OF
the world that Gods Kingdom has
long been established in the world
and that il is the duty of every race
or nation to protect with shot and
shell their selfish interest against all
other races or nations even to the
sacrificing of millions of innocent
lives; he further impreSses the poor
people that the resurrection of the
dead is only for the purpose OF heap
ing further damnation upon the con-
demncd. The Denominations teach
the same tling-that Gods Kingdom
IL IL.
the resurrection of the dead is only
for the purpise of issuing to them
their damnation.
In conclusion, beg 10 say that !
know many of you consecrated to
the Lord and are willing to give ev-
en- life for what you believe to be
right. But, YOU have been kept in
ignorance OF Gods great plan of sal
walton because OF false teachings, |
trust that you may, from tonight,
be able to decide what teachings
YOU will listen toe

told the world thirty some odd years
before the great war, that the world
would begin to end in 1914, at that
time and the world ended; the only
