A Standard for the People
Lecture at City Hall Tonight

At the City Hall auditorium at 7So
this evening !. w. Thorn of Brooklyn.
n. Y, speaker for the international
Bible Students Associatic>, will lee
ture on the topic "A Standard FOR the
people" and will endeavor to snow
from reason and from the Scriptures
that there is nothing the people need
more than a common rallying point
now discernable.
Millions have fought and died
around the standards of the past and
to little purpose. OF the millions who
fought under the standards of the
kaiser, the czar and the sultan during
the World War, yes, and Of other rus
ers, too, how many received any re-
ward except disappointment? The
| only reward to millions Of these was
death.
The speaker will show from the
prophecies just what the standard Tor
the people is. the true standard. which
will never need to be changed and
which will merit and receive popular
approval and acceptance, to which all
the people will flock. and the reward
l>of following whi\l will be life.
There are many things which show
that the peoples of the earth have
never yet come in for the blessings
they are promised in the Scriptures.
A few texts will help make this clear.
Thus in the 25th chapter of Isaiah's
prophecy, verses seven and eight, we
, read that He will destroy in this
mountain the face of the covering
cast over all people, and the vail that
Is spread over all nations. He will
swallow up death in victory; and the
| Lord God will wipe away tears from
aft all faces; and the rebuke of His
people shall He take away from off
all the earth; for the Lord hath spoken
it,
From this passage II Is apparent
that a covering or veil of some sort
rests over the people; and 1t Is perth
nent to inquire what is this covering
| or VEIL when will it be removed. who
will remove il. and what will be the
! outcome? When Is death to be swal-
lowed up VIGOROUSLY? What will
bring this about? When will God wipe
away the tears from of all faces?
What will cause the tears to disap-
| pear? What is the rebuke or reproach
| now resting upon the people of God?
Why does it rest there and how will
II be caused to disappear? All these
are questions which properly enough
, suggest themselves.
This is but one Of scores Of texts
which are now becoming plain. Take
another from the 72nd Psalm, verses
three and four: The mountains shall
bring peace to the people, and the little
hills by righteousness. He shall Judge
the poor of the people. He shall save
the children Of the needy, and shall
break in pieces ten oppressor."
Again questions might be asked;
What are the mountains that arc to
bring peace to the people? What are
the little hills that by Righteousness
are to bring them blessings? When
will 1t be? How will 1t come about?
When and how will the great DeliveRer
judge the poor. save the needy and
put an end to oppression?
The speaker will attempt to answer
all these questions in his lecture this
evening.
The seats are free and there are no
collections

Phil Brisk on account Of darkness.
The Hazard aggregation batted

ball game. When the Collegians came
to bat in their half Of the second they
proceeded to collect few runs them

they added nine their next time at bat
