C May 25. Pas tor , Russell, ad-, dressing tbe Wash ington Tempi. Congregation, made some' state ments which seem ed startling, yet reasonable. His arguments quite upset some popu lar theories, yt seemed so rational as to be convinc ing. His test was: "He mabetn wars to cease unto the end of tbe earth. Be still, and know that 1 am GooV'-Psalm 46:9, 10. . y The Pastor "declared thai n.- one could be more averse to war, on gen eral principles, than himself that 'be was an extremist In bis sentiment for peace. Vet he contd net close Ids teres to the facts ef hlstory-that practically every blessing has come to tbe world through war. Where wo!d America be today,, bad tber"tfcientt War tf independence?.- Where woo id the nations of Europe be today, If they had aot fovght to maintain tbelr national ttber dee? Where would refusal to (flgbt land every nation in less than a year? There Is no conflict between "thim com men -sense view and the teadiinga of bar Master, said Pastor Rvesell. Our Master was not addressing na tions, but Individuals, when He direct ed that whoever Is ' smitten n one cheek should turn the other, and 'be non-resistant Jesus' instructions were Intended for his followers, who were to come out from the world, and be separate a new nation, ajfaoly people. The Beatitudes Not For Nation. When Jesus said. "Blessed are .the peacemakers." He was addressing a special class of Individuals those who would become Ills disciples by a full renouncement of all earthly interests. The Redeemer's declaration respecting nntlons was the very reverse of this. Ho declared, "Nation shall rise against nation, and there shall be wars." "I rear that t shall be misunder stood." said the Pastor, "but there Is so much confusion upon the subject that the truth needs to be stated plain ly. And I know of "no place more ap propriate for its statement than in the capital of the most peace-loving nation on earth except China." War is not a disease, but merely a symptom of disease In tbe body politic. So long as the disease continues, war is bound to continue. Need I say that the disease is sin? Sin and war are Inseparable. There are only two ways of Inhibiting war: (1) By converting the nations from a condition of hardness of heart selfish ness, sin. to a condition of righteous ness, tenderness of heart, generosity; (2) By establishing a government not swayed by sin, to control affairs by superior strength. This proposition is not debatable. Its basic facts are, the Pastor claimed, as sure as mathemat ics. He cited Scriptures corroborating his position, and showing that sin, self ishness, is continually on tbe warpath, politically, socially or financially. Tbe Pastor Included in tbe great warfare nil social, political and finan cial disturbances. These are battles in which the Bhrcwder minds, as a rule, conquer. Instead of wars censing, we see now conflicts from now quarters. t,ABOK,' having organized, develops strength dally. It Is professedly train ing for a great conflict, and declares that Its warfare Against oppressors of every kind Is only commencing. Moreover, for years our great colleges have been undermining faith In the in spiration of the Bible, and their Influ ence has extended finally to the musses. These are now declaring their donbts respecting n future life, and their de termination b grasp nt the enrllest possible moment the opportunities of the present life, nnd share the luxuries of the rich. If their program be half carried out. It means a "time of trouble such as never was since there was a uation."-Pfiwlel 12:1. Never was the world more strlfeful than at present never more alert for self-gratification. Discontent Is goad ing mankind onward with Increasing speed to the greatest of all conflicts. What Is the Remedy t Tho Pastor explained that the Scrip tur?5 show that Jie. tlm of. .trouble looming up before BlanfcTiSu' TjFlIT "be so rerrlblp that the world will have its fill. Thenceforth, under tbe gnldance, of Messiah's new administration, the spirit of n sound mind will gradually come to mankind ns a whole, and pro portionately they will turn to Mes siah's Kingdom In loyal obedience, de claring, as says the Prophet. "Lo.'tbls Is our (Jod: we will wait for Him: He will save us " Rich nnd poor of every nation will gradually be made aware of the changed conditions., nnl nil lovers of righteousness will rejolc. Hp.lth a Factor In Success. The largest factor contributing to a man's success is undoubtedly health.
