Then Will come times Of blessing
and refreshing 90 all mankind The

made we'll and strong: the ewes of
the blind will be made TO see and
the deaf ears 10 hcar-lSaiah 35.
All the dead shall be reSurrected-
John 5:ZS-3U and restitution Of all
things will progress until every one
has enjoyed a full fair opportunity

ing TO receive and obey the right
eouS laws Of this kingdom will be
| restored to perfect manhood. and
just here my opponent would i'm
press YOU that God has not punished
man enough when he punished him
with death. Is it because my oppO-
nent is ignorant of what death real
| ~ is; il ~ because my opponent is
| ignorant Of what life means: he
knows nothing about life except this
| dang condition he sees around here
will make YOU simple illustration
| If YOU had a little piece of stone YOU
would throw ii around but someone
| told YOU. YOU would lose billions if
YOU lost that. then YOU would put
ii away and take care of il and when
man learns what life is and its value
then, no greater punishment could
come 10 man than to lose life. That
is the punishment God gives to
mantle says if YOU disobey. "The
wages Of sin is death" God will not
change His law to eternal punish
ment or something else TO suit the
clergy. (Applause) God says death
was a penalty and He tells YOU what
death is and ii does not make any
difference what the hundreds or
thousands Of clergy may think. God
says death is your penalty and that
is what il will be and we dare not
add any more than what God said.
want TO say here too, if you
would get some idea Of a perfect
man, YOU take all the intelligence
there is in the world, all the knowl-
edge Of science or art. music, history
and what nOt-put all that together
in one individual and as great as that
might be-and ] want to say all the
physical beauty, put it all in one in
dividual and as great as that might
be. ! want TO remind YOU that that
would only represent the remnant
Of a perfect man which has been in
process Of deterioration more than
six thousand wears The time will
come when men will order the tenn
perature and climate just as he
wants them. They were made TO
have dominion over earth, if Gods |
promises are true and Gods promiS- |
es are true. These perfect ones
are the ones. my dear friends, to |
whom the Lord will say Come We
blessed of my Father, inherit the |
kingdom prepared for YOU from the
foundation of the world" The re-
construction OF the world will con-
linue for a thousand years during |
which time The earth will be made |
more beautiful beyond DESCRIPTION |
by the human tongue. Then Peace |
will prevail and all will be happy. |
There will be no more parting of |
loved ones. The people over the |
whole world, including the resur-
reCted millions will gather in great
multitudeS to sing praises and do |
homage unto the Lord and Jehovah
The beautiful songs of praise will |
rise from earth to Heaven and the
angels will catch the chorus and
watt it back to earth until every
creature i'm Heaven and in earth will
he singing "Glory, Glory, Glory uuto
God and His Christ worthy art,
Thou TO be praised, Great and Mar
velouS are Thy works, Lord God Al
mighty. just and true are Thy ways,
Thou King of Saints

thing but what the Lord tell you.
