RICHARD J. HILL.
When a long time lease ends, and
the buildings erected on it are in
decayed condition, and new
owner comes into possession with
the intention Of erecting new build
ingS, his first acts are to tear down
and remove the old and clear the
lot Tor the building OF the new
structure. The old order or the
old world ended in 1914, and exact
~ on time the work of removing
the old order began and still pro-
crosses. The Great King of Kings
and the Lord of Lords is directing
ihiS work, and he is removing the
old preparatory to the erection of
the new and righteous order of
things. The prophet of the Lord
having in mind this very time when
the kings of the earth would be
making last desperate stand TO
hold their possession, wrote: "And |
in The days of these kings shall the |
God OF Heaven set up kingdom. |
which shall never be DESTROYED; !
and the kingdom shall not be left |
to other people, but ii shall break .
in pieces and consume all these
kingdoms, and it shall stand for
ever" Danl. .: II.
We submit that the evidence is
conclusive to the reasonable mind
who believes in the scriptures. that
the world has ended; that the old
order is passing away and the new
is coming in; and if that be true,
then this must mark the dawning
OF new and better day; il must
mart the beginning days of the
Golden Age, and of necessity must
mark the time for the fulhllment of
the great biblical promises that
Jehovah has made for The blessing
of mankind with life, liberty and
happiness.
Verify, verify. | say unto you,
If man keep my saying, he shall
never die" John s: 81.
The inquiring mind naturally
asks: why should man see death
at all? Is is not possible for him
TO live cvcrlaSiinglN? Not under
standing why death has ravaged
the human race and what remedy
Jehovah has provided against it,
the many have concluded that
death has always prevailed among
men and men will always die. An
understanding of the scriptures !
clarifies the subject entirely.
The Lord created but one man ;
Adam. All the works of Jehovah
are perfect. Oeut. 32:D. Man I
was created in the image and I
likeness Of God and Jehovah gave I
him dominion over the things of
the earth. (Gen. I 26-2S}. The t
first man, Adam, being perfect in
organism and having a perfect 5
wife, Eve and the right to propo- L
gate his race and fill the earth, {
not only had life and liberty and a
happiness himself but could have {
