Day of Judgment, or restitution OF
the Millcnial Day. The term judy
ment Day, Millenial DAY or day Of
restitution means one and the same
thing. IT is only when the differ
cnl ways in which God will mani
fest himself TO the world of man
kind during that period is ConSid-
cred that the different names for
that period are mentioned. For in
stance, when we think and read Of
The awarding of blessing for Obcdi-
cnce and the administering Of
stripes for disobcdiencc we term
that period Judgment Day; when We
think and read of man (lhe willing
and obedienU being restored 10 all
that was lost in Father Adam we
call that period the time Of reStitu-
ton: and when we think and read
Of the length of time required to
do this work we term ii the Millen-
ium, or a period of thousand
years.
AS we stated in previous issue,
the Lord has not been dealing with
any one, during this Gospel Age,
but the body members Of Christ, the
little flock and the great company.
H. other words the work to be done
during this Gospel Age has been
and is the selecting of lhe officers
to rule and govern the world in
Righteousness during the Judgment
Day.
For the purpose of giving YOU
some idea of The character of Jcho-
yah God we will give Him credit for
having at least, as much sympathy,
love and Justice as the best Of fal-
len humanity. Ny friend put this
question square to yourself and get
some idea of Jehovah's character.
Take a case like this where a poor
man or woman is The offspring Of
parents very low i'm the scales Of
morals and further that this poor
man or woman was raised under
very immoral conditions. You can
readily see and understand that the
natural bent of such individual
would be downward. Now, were it
within your power to grant 10 this
individual ever lasting life or death
eternal, could YOU out Of your heart
of hearts feel justified in passing
the most severe sentence upon this
poor individual who is q victim Of
circumstances over which she or
he has no control? ! say could YOU
consistently decree such sentence
without first uplifting such and in
lvidugl physIcill, mentally and
morally? | believe the very first
thing YOU would do would be to
strike down the evil influences that
tend to drag the individual down
ward | believe That you would see
to il that this poor person was pro-
perly equipped physically, mental
ly and morally to make a good and
successful fight for everlasting life.
| feel sure that YOU would see TO
it that such individual did not
gain he everlasting il would be
because she or he willfully, intelli-
gently and in opposition to all
needed help decide to 60 the way
of death everlasting. ! further be
lieve, dear friends, if ii was within
your power you would be glad 10
give every creature on earth ever
lasting life, provided they lived
clean and Cody lives. | am sure
YOU would rejoice to bring all the
broken families of the earth to-
geiher in one grand and happy
band. | believe this the true senti-
ment of the Cody inclined in
diyidual, And such is just what
God purposes to do.
Unfortunately the majority of
preachers have, ignorantly, been
the most active agents of the adj
