1914 A. D. and that this would be
accompanied by famine and pesti-
lence, which has been fulfilled. The
time for the beginning Of the bless
ings of the families of the earth the
Bible indicates is close at hand. The
prophesies indicate that the year 1925
A. D. will mark the end of the
troubleous times and the beginning
of the fulfllment of the blessings of
the nations according to the promise
God made to Abraham. We therefore
understand that 1914 marked the end
of the world or age, and therefore we
are now gradually entering the new
order of things, which explains the
reason for the unrest and turmoil. In
other words the kingdom of Satan is
gradually passing away, and the king
dom of Christ will gradually take it's
place. All these blessings are to come
about through Gods arrangement, ac-
complished through Christ, who died
for the sins of the world and to open
up the way for blessing and reconcilia-
ton Of man to God.
During the gospel age God has been
doing work which is called a great
mystery, because the world has known
nothing about it. This work that God
has been accomplishing is the selection
and preparation of the church, not
large as far as numbers are concerned,
but called in the scriptures 'little
flock" luke 1922 This church has
been completed as far as it's selection
is concerned. and now the blessings
are due to the world, for which they
have waited these many centuries.
Mr.. Thorn then gave several scrip
ture quotations to prove that millions
now living will never die, and that
there are hundreds now living in this
county that need never die. He said:
'Let US not deceive ourselves into be-
lieving that where ignorance is bliss
It's folly to be wise, because life
everlasting upon the earth as perfect
human being will depend upon the
individual knowledge, understanding
and acquiesence in the rules Of con-
duct that are to govern the world in
its reconstruction now in progress and
ever after. Seek We the Lord, all We
meek of the earth, seek righteousness,
seek meekness, it may be We shall be
hid in the day of the Lords anger.
(Zeph. 2:3.)' We are living in the
very time Of tae fulfllment Of this
prophecy and, therefore, it behooves
all who desire these blessings from
God to see to. it that they have no
sympathy, with anarchy or lawless-
ness of any kind end, much as we
sympathize with the struggles of the
world in their endeavor to attain lib
erty, happiness, etc., we as Bible stu
dents do not believe it can be gained
by bolshevism, nor even by socialism,
good though some of its principles
may be. BLESSED is he that consider
eth the poor, the Lord will deliver him
in this time of trouble. The Lord will
preserve him and keep him alive, and
he she'll be blessed upon the earth.
(Psa. 41:D.' That means th:.t if any
man treats his fellow men right at
this present time, when anarchy
sweeps the Garth he will be spared.

when the dead shall hear the voice Of

ture has never been fulfilled, and must
have fulfillment some time. It has
never been applicable until the present
time. There is hope even for the
wicked. See Ezekial 18:2O-26. The
soul that sinneth it shall die. But if
the wicked will turn from all his sin
which he hath committed and do that
which is lawful and right, he shall
surely live, he shall not die. Have
