The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1921-11-30

IfsAg HdtloH, ana lne destruction OF
all law and order is threatened. To
prevent such terrible disaster and to
save the people from indescribable
suffering is the tremendous problem,
which, we submit, requires more
than human wisdom. We Therefore
suggest that the needing Of Divine
wisdom and the adoption Of the Divine
remedy as prescribed by Gods holy
Word is vitality essential at this
time.
The kingdom Of Christ, the Messiah,
for which he taught his disciples to
pray, is at hand. This is evidenced
by the World War, famine, pestil-
ence, social upheayal, distress Of ma
tions with perplexity, etc, all of
which constitute the fulillment of
prophecies made by Jesus himself as
relating to the present time. Within
short time his kingdom will be fully
and completely established and the old
order of things completely gone. Tol
that kingdom all earthly powers must
be subject either willingly or UNI
willingly. The trouble upon the ma
tions beginning in 1914 is but the eX
preston of Gods vengeance against
all unrighteous systems in the earth. /
The holy prophets of Jehovah indi-
cate how that the kingdom Of Christ,
the Messiah, may be established with
out great suffering to humanity, pro-
vided that the Divine way be adopted. I
You will pardon us, therefore, for
calling your attention to those Divine
prophecies long ago recorded, which
in substance indicate what the proper
course is, to-wit:
"a Let the Financial Princes, the
Controllers of Commerce, cease prof
iteering, cease exploiting and deceiv-
ing the people by systematic propa-
ganda, and be content with a reason
able income sufficient to insure their
own maintenance and support; let
them use their power for the general
welfare of the people to the end that
the Idle may be employed, the hungry
fed, and each man be afforded an OPP
portunity to provide for himself and
loved ones the things decent and hon
est in the sight of God and men.
(2) Let the Statesmen or Politi
clans cease to act as instruments Of
selfish powers and selfish interests
and henceforth honesty and impair
TALLY represent and safeguard the in
terests and general welfare of all the
people.
(3) Let the Clergymen and other
Religious Teachers, who claim to be
ministers Of Gods Word and there
fore the mobiles among the people,
divorce themselves completely from
commercial and political affiliations,
return to their first love, recognize
Gods Word as truth, honestly and
faithfully teach the people the prime
iples taught by Jesus and the Apos :
ties, and thereby prepare the people
TO receive the kingdom of Christ, the
Messiah, who alone can and will es
tablish peace on earth and good will
toward men,
Let the Ruling Factors by example
as well as bv word thus lead the peo-
pie in the right way and prove that
they are the real friends of the peo
Pile; and let all the people heed the
words of God, refrain from violence
of every kind or form, seek meckness
and righteousness. and the occasion
for armament and war will cease.
These things done, the kingdom OF
Christ, the Messiah, will be establish
cd on earth without suffering.
We shall be pardoned for saying
that the prophecies clearly indicate
that if the diyinely prescribed remedy
be ignored, this being the day of God
vengeance, as declared by his pro-
phets of old, his wrath will be visited
upon every government and system of
Christendom; and both Jesus and the
prophets declare that such shall be
"a time OF trouble such as the world
has never known" at which time
shall michael (the MesSiah) stand
up, the great prince that standeth
for the children Of thy people" This
standing up of Michael will effect the
delivcrance Of mankind from all forms
Of oppression and viii mark the be-
ginning for righteousness on earth.
The result viii be Gods will done on
earth as it is done in heaven. for
which Jesus taught Christians 70
pray.
Great responsibility rests upon the
Ruling Factors Of the nations Of earth
now in the hour Of dire distress and
perplcNity; and we shall be pardoned
for requesting such TO give earnest
consideration to the Word Of God.
