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.
It has been observed that a man is
seldom sick when his bowels are reg
ularhe is never well when they are
constipated. For consupumy v
