SOUL AND "SPIRIT."

The way some of the theolo-
gians mix up the words "soul''
and "spi1it'' reminds me of the
cook who couldn't tell butter
milk from gasoline. She made
up her biscuit dough with the
automobile fuel and put it on to
bake. They picked up some
pieces Of the stove over in the
next township, but they never
found the cook at all. Some
thing like that will happen to
these wise theologians who
think soul and spirit are the
same thing.

OH. DEM GOLDEN STREETS!

AS far back into the future
as any of us can remember, we
have all heard about heaven
with it's streets of gold.
And that sounded mighty
fine. Because we are all natural
1y a gold-hungry generation of
vipers, and as greedy as Shylock
for anything that looks like
money-why, man, don't you
see what d temptation heaven
would be?
And I have wondered some
times if the golden streets had
not better be spiked down pref
ty securely, else Rockefeller and
Morgan might steal 'em.
And they say Tom Edison is
an infidel. Therefore Tom
would never go to heaven. But
Tom isn't worrying any about
that. He seems to think that if
he can't go to heaven he can
perhaps help some toward max
ing a heaven here on earth.
And that isn't such a bad
idea, either. Hence it is inter-
esting to note that Edison has
some ideas about making gold.
He has just announced that
science will soon be able to
manufacture pure gold as cheap
as pig-iron, and in just any
quantity you want.
Edison is not given to talk
ing just to hear his head rat
tie. He is not in the habit of
making wild, impossible state
ments. So when the world
greatest inventor states in all
seriousness that gold can be
manufactured as cheap as iron,
there must be something to it
Well, if that does turn out tc
be true. why couldn't we have
towns with golden streets right
here on the earth? Maybe that
golden street. stuff in the
Bible isn't fish story, after
all. Maybe it means just what
it says, and maybe Edison is
the chosen instrument to bring
it about. Who knows?
And just think-there is an.
other step toward the Colder
Age.
Oh, it's coming.
Don't you fret.
The fool-killer., 1921-12-01

England and France haven't
got any money to pay the inter-
est on what they owe to this
government, but they have got
just plenty of money to build
more battleships and raise more
armies. Looks funny to me.

A HOUSE-BOAT ON THE SEA.

Jeerns's Rivers!
1t is coming to a pretty pass
now.
Judging by the turn that af-
fairs are taking at Washington.
we will all have to get us a house
boat and spend the rest of our
lives out on the high seas.
They are going TO junk al the
navies Of the world, and eterna.
peace will settle down like
benediction over all the seven
seas. The oil of peace is going
to be so thick over the face or
the water that the waves will
fall back helpless, and even the
wind cannot blow. The Atlantic
will be pacific, and the Pacific
will be a linitless expanse of
calm repose, never again to be
broken by the churning of the
dreadnaught and the chug of the
submarine.
So far so good.
But it seems that nothing is
to be done about junking the
land ornaments. They are 60
ing to keep the great armies
ready to fight on land. And
right here it is worth while to re-
member that nearly all the
fighting and killing in the Great
War was done by the land forces.
Mighty little sea fighting in it.
Even if there had not been a
navy in the world in 1914 the
war could have been Just as bad
as it was.
The war gods know this, and
they are only planning to junk
such things as have become use
less.
Oh, we'll!
If they bring on another big
war, it will be some satisfaction
to know that the seas are at
peace. AS I remarked q few
minutes ago, we can all get us
a house-boat and live out there
on the peaceful waves, far from
the scene of conflict.
That will be the medicine.

IRFI AND AND PROPHECY

have in my possession a book
called Forty Prophetic Wond-
ers.'' It was written by Rev.
Michael Baxter, founder of the
Christian Herald, and it was
first published in London in 1866
about SIS years ago.
The book claims to be an in
depreciation of Bible prophecy,
telling of various wonderful
things due to happen at the end
Of the Gentle Age.
Well, cf course it was laughed
at for many years, and it's
author was pointed out as a
crazy crank. But when the
time came for his wonders to
begin-what happened? Well,
they BEGUN, that's what.
The first wonder" that the
writer mentions is a great war
between Germany and other
European nations, and he places
the beginning of it between 1906
and 1919. He was writing 49
, years before 1914, and it looks
| to me like he was hitting at it
| pretty we'll. He said one of the
results of the war would be
that France would be enlarged
to the Rhine. That has also
come true with startling &C.
curacy.
But / started out to say some
thing about Ireland. On page
SO of my Baxter book I find the
statement that between 1917
and 1921 England and Ireland
| would be legislatively separated.
Bear in mind that this was
written and published SIS years
ago.
And just last week you read
in your papers that this very
| thing had come to pass. Lloyd
George has come to an agree
ment with the Irish-or rather
he has just surrendered to the
| Irish-and granted their demand
for a Free Ireland,
How did Baxter know that
Ireland would get her freedom
Just at this time?
He figured it out from the
Bible prophecies. [ cannot here
go into detail and explain HOW
he got. it from the prophecies
but the fact is that he GOT it
: and he got it RIGHT.
It looks like that is enough Il
convince any reasonable person
that the Bible prophets D1I
foretell future events, and tha
their predictions are absolutel,
correct.
Now, Mister S1nart-Elick
: what have you got to say?

OLD NEB'S IMAGE

previous occasions, but that
don't matter. The subject is
big enough to stand another
round or two.
And so I am going to take
my text this time in the second
chapter Of Daniel and tell you
about the big brass-beliled vision
that old King Neb had one night
after he had feasted on hum
ming-bird gizzards and drunk
twelve bottles of Coca-Cola.
Now it was this way:
Neb was to be the first world
ruler among the Gentiles, and
God was going to show him a
picture of the whole Gentle
career from start to finnish.
And so when the old king got
to saving gourds right good
that night, there came a great
image of a man and stood be-
fore him. It's head was of gold,
it's breast and arms of silver,
and so on-you know how it
goes.
Mighty unusual sort OF a
dream, to be sure, and Goo sent
Daniel to tell the king what the
dream meant.
Daniel said:
Thou, o king, art this head
Of gold"
And then he went on to tell
about the other Kingdoms that
would arise after Babylon. First
was Medo-Persia, then Greece,
then Rome. These Kingdoms
were to have power one after
another, and they were to Gil
out the complete 'Times OF the
Gentiles "-252O years.
History shows that they all
came just as predicted, and they
filled the bill so perfectly that
there is no chance for a mis-
understanding about them.
All Bible students agree that
this Image is a complete calen-
dar of Gentle times. By study
ing this vision we can KNOW
what is the next thing on world
program.
But there are many people
who claim to be Bible students
and are not. They refuse to
| see how important this image
is in the scheme of things, and
therefore they get plum off the
prophetical track and go blund.
ering about in the theological
swamps and political quagmires
| I have even talked with
preachers who didn't know what
cid Neb's vision meant, ane
who didn't think it was anything
worth learning. I pity such
preachers. They will learn the
lesson some time. but it ma,
| be too late to do them any good
