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,

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

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

sinco then, whon I have had back

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.
Wo remember the Jubilee picture re
pented by the Israelites every fiftieth
