THIS SERMON IS A REGULAR WEEKLY FEATURE i i iQOO POO' - ' " " ' PEOPLES PULPIT... Scnnon by CHARLES T. RUSSELL, Pastor BrooUyn Tabernacle. Messiah's Coming Kingdom Spiritual in "Behold, a KinR shall reim righteousness, and princes shall rule b judgment" (Isaiah xxxii, I). ............... iQOO ooO niQ rear, proclaiming liberty for tlio poo plo nnd restitution of all that lias boon lost through sin, ami which Is to bo re stored through Messiah's Klnurioin Brooklyn. Sept. 4. raster llussell preached today In the Academy of Mu lie, our largest Auditorium, the "Tab ernacle" being of Insufficient capacity, tie bad a very attentive hearing. There were many Hebrews In the large audience. He said in part: "Coming events cast their shadows before." Startling shadows are all about us. A great change In the af fairs of men Is Indicated nnd acknowl edged by all thoughtful, intelligent people. The world's pace during the past fifty years astonishes everybody. New conditions meet us on every hand. The majority of books written half a century ago along scientific lines are considered rubbish today. Rules and customs and theories of the past, sup posed to be Immovable and absolute, arc abandoned as worthless in chem istry, in manufactures, in art, in finance and commerce. All these changes necessitate a new view of so cial conditions and a re-examlnatlon of the relationship of religion and the Bible to man and his conditions, as seen from the present viewpoint. The business nnd social world have been compelled to keep pace with the steps of progress, some of them gladly and some of them reluctantly. Dut reli gionists have been placed in a most awkward position. Religion and mor al sense constitute the backbone and fiber of the best progress In :lvillza tion. The perplexity of religious I thought, and its manifest inability to adjust Itself to the changed conditions, uiwiiMo Mos, ur., oepi. .. o. Is working a serious disadvantage to E. Andrews, assistant engineer in the a,t disposed to look to the Almighty surveying department of the South- for guidance in life's affairs. iuc uicrvase m wuriuiy nisuuui, me ENGINEERS S.P. AT LOVES STATION ern Pacific railway, has left with a party of engineers numbering 15 and several wagons loaded with equip ment and supplies, and have estab lished a permanent camp at the foot of Hayes hill, near Loves Station, and they have already commenced the surveying for tho line of the pro posed Grants Pass and Western rail road over the hill into the Illinois Talley.'and then on to Kerby. Later on they will run the lines to Grants Pass from Loves Station and com plete the survey between these two points. It will be necessary to construct a bridge across the Applegate river at a point east of Wlldervllle and another bridge across Roguo river north of the present county bridge. Tho opening of the new Southern Pacific. depot to tho public will prob ably be deferred for some time yet, a3 General Manager J. P. O'Brlep Las been suddenly called east for conferences In Chicago and New York. Mr. O'Brien promes dto be present at the opening celebration with other officers of the company, ao tho ceremony will necessarily have to bo postponed until his return. NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE. Medford People Should Learn to De tect the Approach of Kidney -. Disease. Tho symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmlstakablo that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a ficcsatlon of of scalding. The back notes con stantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect of these warn ings and there is danger of dropsy, Bright'' disease, or diabetes. Any ono of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating tho kld noyo at once. Delny often proves fatal You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kldnoy Pills. Hero's Mod ford proef: Mrs. Stella M. Van Winkol, 324 W. Jackson street, Medford, Or., says: "I firyt learned of tho merits of Doan's Kldnoy Pills while living in Patterson, N.

Occasionally wo meet a man whoso train of thought reminds us of a row of flat cars, improved human conditions, the ad' vancement along scientific lines in ma terial prosperity have turned many of the world's brightest intellects away from God and from the Bible. Many of these, still professing Christianity in an outward, formal manner have really abandoned it In favor of a theo ry of "civilization." They have wan dered from the Divine Revelation, the Bible, into paths of speculation their own and other men's. They have cogi tated that the reverse of the Bible statements is the Truth that instead of man falling from the image of God Into sin nnd death, he Is rising from a brute or monkey plane upward, grad ually, to Divine heights. Instead of looking for a great Deliverer, Messiah, Savior, LIfe-GIver, they are hoping to be let alone by any outside influence, that certain fancied laws of Evolution might help them upward and onward to glory, honor and Immortality. The result Is that religious thought today everywhere and In all denomina tions is chaotic. The whole of Chris tendom has practically become Agnos ticadmitting that they do not know the Truth nor bow to adjust their rea soning faculties to present consecra tion. They are in an expectant atti tudeseeking light Nevertheless many fear the light lest it shall make mani fest cherished errors or selfish hopc3 and ambitions which must be abandon ed. But they arc still pretending to know many things which we and they know that they do not know. But dally the strain becomes more intense. Gradually everybody Is recognizing that there is a great crisis along every line that the people arc awakening and thinking and will no longer re ceive their errors. Converting the World to God. Fifty years ago Christiau people, full of faith in the Bible which they seri ously misunderstood and read with sectarian spectacles of various colors, were fully agreed that God had given his Church the commission to convert the whole world and to establish Mes siah's Kingdom, when the nations would learn war no more, but beat their swords into plowshares and their spears Into prunlng-hooks. Zealous Christian people urged that the hea then were going down to a hell of eternal torment at the rate of ninety thousand every twenty-four hours. And noble men and women sacrificed their earthly interests for the assist ance of tho heathen to prevent that awful catastrophe, to help thwart the very program of God which some other Christian people of an earlier day had declared was predestinated and foreordained us unalterable. Good was certainly attempted. We trust that some good was accomplished. We know that some barm was done, in that fallacious conceptions of the char acter nnd plan of tho Creator were promulgated amongst the heathen, which have burdened and embittered some of them. But by and by practical people sought for statistics, and now know that there are twice as many heathens In tho world as there were a century ago. Of course, there are unthinking and unstatlstlcal people who refuse knowledge and who are today claim lug with a commendablo zeal, but a reprehensible Iguorauce, that large con tributions of money would enable them to capture the whole world for God, Nevertheless, the masses no longer see the matter as they did, and can no longer be swayed to the same J extent Thinking people refuse to be lieve that God for centuries has sat calmly viewing the situation, allowing millions to go to eternal torment. They refuse to believe that their hearts nud sympathies are more ten der thnn those of their Creator. Kven the heathen are getting nwnke to the inconsistency of what has been given them under the Gospel label They are finding out that the word Gospel slgulfles "good tidings, and thai what has been preached to them Is the most awful message conceivable that all of the heathen nud the majority of their civilized neighbors nud frleuds and relatives have been decreed, sen teuccd, foreordained, to eternal tor ture because of Ignorance, because of a misbelief in respect to which they were thoroughly honest Perplexed, the missionaries ask. What shall we preach? Tho message of damnntlon does not sound good to the heathen, and they do not run after It nor feast their souls upon it The question comes to the ministers and professors of colleges throughout Christendom and they are perplexed what answer to give. Tho majority of them hnve become "higher critics" and no longer accept the Bible as the Word of God; they are Evolutionists and no longer believe the Gospel which the Mission ary Societies were organized to pro claim. They are in perplexity. And many of them are prepared to nban don the former theory of missions nnd to continue their work henceforth merely along humanitarian lines. Iu deed, within the last twenty-five years missionary effort has turned gradual ly to secular education and medical practice in the Interests of tho heath en, with little religious doctrine nnd so much the better. Everybody Is agreed that the King dom of Messiah cannot be brought about by the wholesale conversion of the world. And logical people see that larger numbers have been lost to Christianity in civilized lands during the last twenty-five years than were ever claimed to be converted amongst the heathen. Wo say lost to Christian ity, because why should anyone be called a Christian who has lost all faith In the Bible in the Law, the Prophets and the teachings of Jesus and bis Apostles? Tho great cloud of bewilderment which encompasses Christendom Ls realized by all earnest people churchmen nnd others. And no wonder there Is a certain dread associated with the dark cloud. What kind of a storm will result? And what will be the effect upon the great re ligious systems of civilization?. It is lo Join hands against these omlnouH conditions that the clergy of all de nominations are arousing themselves in favor of Churqb Union or Federa tion of some sort. But the people the people feel comparatively little Interest In the proposition, which they will not oppose, however. "Tho Hour of Temptation." Rev. 3: 10. Tho difficulty with the present situa tion ls that we have stupidly and blun deringly misread the Bible. We have twisted what we did read and picked out certain portions which pleased best our fancies and supported best our various creeds. We have neglect ed tho honest truthful study which we should have given to our Heavenly Fa ther's message. The confusion of Christendom is the result Thut con fusion nnd perplexity tho Scriptures portray, assuring us that wo aro In the midst of a great falling away from faith in God nnd in his Revelation. We sco fulfilled all about us the won derful prophetic and symbolic picture of Psalm 01. A thousand fall at our sldo and ten thousand at our right band only the "Israelites Indeed," In whom there ls no guile, will be kept from stumbling in this evil day. The chaos which we already see every where In evidence is only beginning. God's Great Remedy at Hand. The fault of Christendom bus been the rejection of tho Dlvjne Plan und the acceptance instead of n human plan. The Church was going to con vert tho worjd going to conquer the world for Jesus and pacscnt it to lilm as u trophy. Alas, wo havo iiot been able to convert ourselves, which i tho particular work tho Master gave in to do. Greater humility would nave Hhown us our folly long ago. Bible Students do not need to be re minded thut all through the Old Tes tament Scriptures God's promises nbound, telling Israel and all who have ears to bear of the glorious reign of Messiah und of the success of his Kingdom and how tho result will bo thut "every knee shall bow und every tonguo confess to tho glory of God;" of how "nil the blind eyes shall lie opened and all the deuf ears shall be unstopped;" of how tho blessing of the Lord will be fitli Israel restored to his favor and operate through lsrnil to tho blessing of all peoples. We re member the prophecies which picture earthly governments nnd hIiow uh their termination mid the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on their ruins.
