lie said and ] am going for the pur-
pose OF preparing a place for you
and If ! go and prepare that place
will come back and gel YOU. That
is what Jesus said. The lnternal-
ional Bible Students Association
says that is not so-il is moi that
way at all@IeSuS don't know. In
stead of going off and preparing a
place for us and getting us and talk
ing us to title is coming back here
where we are and make this place

good to punish anybody: He will
not punish them, but he will cut
them off, annihilatc them and there
fore they will be punished for what
they have done because they will
have no existence but, we are told
in the Scripture Jesus is coming like
he left.-Acts t:11-"Ye men of
Galilec, why stand We gazing up in
to Heaven? This same Jesus, which
is taken up from you into Heaven,
shall come in like manner as We
have sees Him go up into Heaven. "
Now, if He is coming back in like
manner as He went away and is
coming-thc coming of Jesus is CO
incident with the end of the world,
then why has not somebody seen

where is He hiding? We are told
by the angel who conSoled MS when
He left that He was coming back
and He was going 10 come Just like
lie went.
Now, friends, wanl to Just say
this concluding word ! am told
have only two or three minutes and
| want TO say this: That if you adopt
the teachingS of RuSSelliSm you give
man license to do as he pleascs; you
give every man license TO kill if he
wants to and debauch if he wants
to-not only himself but then he
en- influence you-turn this world
loose-paSSion upon passion, man
without any regard for the welfare
of his brother man. You turn the
world loose in that condition of sin
fulnesS as we can hardly imagine il
because of the fact that we have the
restraint that goes with the con-
SciouSneSs that we shall be some
where in the next world in this body
We are here to ask as my last
word, what about the International
Bible Students Association? What
/ about my good friend who has OPP
posed me jim this debate? imagine
as soon as you have heard the ar
gument on both sides that the best
you can say for il will be what the
man said about the gobbler but he
has lost his strut (AppluSe)
(And now at this time Rev. John
son having concluded his part of the
debate, the audience starts up and
sings the song entitled "All Hail the
power of Jesus Name,) afterwards
the following proceedings are had:)
MR.. SMlTHERMAN: Mr.. Hill now
will close the debate. (Applause)
Mr.. HILL: The more | hear from
the college men about the Bible, the
more am inclined TO the belief that
these seminaries should be wiped
out Of existence. (ApplauSe) mean
that and no more; they mean alright
but OH what mess and muddle they
have gotten the world into. CAP
lplauSe) have no time to take up To
analyze all the points thai my oppo-
nent attempted to make about his
statement with reference TO the man
Christ Jesus shows that he has no
knowledge whatever of philosophy
of the ransom. The perfect body of
the man Christ Jesus was given for
the perfect man Adam. My oppo-
nent does not know the difference
between the humanity of Jesus
Christ and Him as a Spirit Being
(ApplauSel My opponnt knows moth
ing OF the characteristic qualities of
an angel and Spirit Being. The
Lord Jesus appeared to Abraham.
One Of the qualities Of a Spirit Be

ii is necessary and dematerialize
That was the condition of theLord
Jesus Christ after the resurrection
that perfect human body had to go;
ii does not go for one thousand days
