pruning hooks; nation shall not IN.
up sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war any more: ana
thus there shall be no more restless
humanity, ~ -
(2) The profiteers will no lonea,
be permitted to prey upon the peo.
pie. because Hts promise is that nm.
der the righteous reign none shah hs
permitted to injure another nor de.
fraud hfs neighbor.
{5) Then shalt famines vanish
away apd no more shall be hungering
for food nor vainly striving for sus.
tenance of life. because then the
earth shall yield her increase and
there shall he plenty for all.
90 Then shall disease and sick.
ness be destroyed, because He has
promised under this new order IN
bring in health and strength and
bless the people with all favors In
cident thereto. THE inhabitants NJ
the land shall no more say am
SICK. t..s-l .f. y
(5) Funerals now are the order
of the. day and the family and loved
ones left behind assemble in sorrow
to pay the last tribute to their be.
loved dead. But under the new or.
der of things funerals will cease
undertakers will seek a more pleas
ing employment and the hearses will
be changed from vehicles of sorrow
to equipages Of pleasure.
Co Families have been torn asun.
der and each member has borne his
or her sorrow until claimed by the
grave: but under the new order fam
lilies will be reunited, parents will be
brought back to the children, and
children to the parents, and they
shall dwell together in happiness.
20 No more will the poor be-
vainly hunting for a habitation or
fleeing from greedy landlords, be-
cause then. as God has promised, the
people shall build houses and live in
them: they shall not build for an
other to- live in. but then every man
shall have his own habitation and
every man shall sit under his own
vine and fig tree and none shall make
them afraid"
(8) At that time there will be-.
full liberty to do right because right
will always be encouraged. Every
one will have the liberty to do all
the good he can. This will result in
the development and exhibition of
the beauty of character. Justice will
prevail amongst men; they will be.
come wise concerning the things per-
foi t1 hot
ness. Love will be the motive d.
recting their actions and their every
power shall be exercised for good.
(9) Life, that which has been the
desire of men in all ages, will be
completely realized-life in fullness,
when men and women will be strong
and vigorous, and there shall be no
pain. no suffering, no sorrow, no
DEATH, when all obedient ones shall
return to the days of their youth and
enjoy life as perfect human beings
through endless ages.
(10) Praise then shall take the
place Of sorrow. No longer will the
people assemble in cemeteries on
Decoration Day to pay tribute to
their hero dead, because then their
dead will be restored to them and
the one that shall be the greatest
hero in their minds and hearts will be
the great Messiah, who has brought
the people the unspeakable blessings
Then will the people assemble, not
to discuss politics, nor to wrangle
over who shall hold the offices, but
to improve their minds and to study
the beautiues and wonders of Gods
creation and to sing songs of glad
ness to His praise.
Beautifully the prophet has re-
ferred to that time, saying: "Say
among the heather that the Lord
reigneth; the world also shall be es-
that 1t shall not be moved;
He shall judge the people righteous
~. Let the heavens rejoice, and let
the earth be glad; let the sea roar,
and the. fpllness thereof, Let. the
field be joyful, and all that is there
in; then shall all the trees Of the
woods rejoice before the Lord; for
He cometh, for He cometh to judge
the earth; He shall Judge the world
with righteousness, and the people
with His truth."'-Psalm 90: 1913
. The earth itself within the course
Of His reign will become an Edenic
paradise, and then will be realized
the fultilment of the words Of the
prophet: This land that was desc
late has become like the Garden OF
So: 1896.
1t is of that blessed time the poet
wrote concerning the happy peoples
Of earth: H.
They shall walk mid the trees by
the rivers, |
With the friends they have loved
by their side:
They will sing the glad songs OF
salvation, v
And be ready to follow their
Guide"
