MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE"


 Oscar Magnuson of New York City lectured a.. the Arizona School of Music Sunday afternoon. Following is an outline of Mir. Magnuson's lec- ture:
 The regeneration of the human race has been the hope of Christians for centuries. which hope is based upon Gods promises. To Abraham he said: ''In thy seeds shall all the families of the earth be blessed" Genesis 12: 8: 22.1S). This promised blessing is life erlasting.-Romans 6:23.
 The opening chapters of the Bible tell of the creation of perfect man in the image and likeness of God, and is habitation in a perfect home. Eden; of his violation of the divine law and his sentence to death. By inheritance all of his offspring have been born imperfect, therefore sinners and in dying condition. (Romans 5:12). God made promise to redeem man from death lHosea 13:14), this redemption to be accomplished only by the wiling sacrifice of a perfect man. God sert his Son Jesus into the world for that purpose (John 3:16) He came to ransom man from the power of the grave (Matthew 20:2S), that the people might have life. (John 10:10) He died for the benefit of all men (Hebrews 2:9), which testimony must be given to all men in Gods due time. q Timothy 2: 5, 6) At that due time every man shall hear the truth taught by Jesus, who prom ised: sIf a man keep my saying he shall never see death.'' (John S.51) There must be a due time for all men to hear these truths before they can be kept.
 The first six verses of Revelation 21 tell of a time coming when there will be no more death, and which time Is stated to be during the reign of Christ. "He tChrist) must reign till he hath pu all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be l destroyed is death."-1 Corinthians | l5:25,26
 It is evident from the foregoing Scriptural proof that there must come a time when the people will have an opportunity for life, peace and hap piness. The question is, When? St Peter answers this question, saying Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and he | (God) shall send Jesus Christ. who before was preached unto you, whom l the heaven must retain until the times of restoration of all things which God hath spoken by the molth | of all his holy prophets since the world began. Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spo- ken, have likewise foretold of these days" (Acts. 3: 1921, 24). This statement conclusively proves thai at the second coming of Christ and 1rrt- -fr1-~ I,f IL
 the human race will be restored tc exactly what Adam lost, viz... perfect manhood and a perfect home.
 Twentyfour of the holy prophet. of Jehovah foretold the coming time of such restoration of men. These prophets spoke with divine authority

 events mentioned by him should b fulfilled. The answer shows, in con nection with other Scriptures, tha tle eilu OI the WOTtQ anu the SeIIlni up of Messias S kingdom will mar the beginning of the restoration 0 man, and from that time forwar
