"1 saw a trent

and there was found no place for

Hlit iniulo moral cownrda of our race.

Wo realise our Imperfection, and that
our God In perfect, and that perfection
li tho only standard which ho could
npprore, and that some kind of pun
ishment for stn must bo expected. Tho
Adversary, taking ndvnntuKO of our
forefathers, misrepresented tho Al
mighty aud hns used our fear to
allonnto us from htm and to, wrest and
distort his message to us In tho Hlblo.
Bt. Paul assures us that this Is Baton's
general procedure; thnt ho puts IlKht
for dnrknesi and darkness for IlKht
Thus 'it comes that our text, which Is
really ouo of tho most beautiful und
comforting in tho wholo Iltblo when
rightly understood, hns to many bo
como a lash In tho hands of tholr fears.
It Is needless to say that our text Is
ono of tho symbolisms of a Hook fillod
with Symbols. God's people, guided by
bis holy Spirit, in duo time will ap
preciate theso symbols. Tor many of
them (ho duo time is already here.
Tho Throno Is Messiah's. It represents
his Mediatorial Dominion of earth for
a thousand years. ltn wliltoncsi sym
bolizes tho purity, tho Justice, of his
Kingdom of rightcouHuuss under tho
wholo heavens. Tho heavens and
earth, which will Hoe nway from tho
presence of tho great Emmanuel will
not bo tho heavens of Clod's Throno,
nor tho earth which ho has given to
the children of men. Tho heavens and
earth which will llco away, and for
which no place will bo found, nro, of
course tho symbolical ones. In lllblo
nymbotogy tho earth represents estab
lished civilization; tho sen represents
tho restless, dlssntlsfled masses of hu
manity. Tho mountains symbollio hu
man government, kingdoms, which
constitute tho backbono of present
iplritual Influences Kccleslnstlclsm,
ChurclUanlty. Thus Interpreted our
text declares thnt when Mosslnh shall

slinll sit upon his Throno: when ho

tho result will bo thnt tho social sys

Satan Now tho Prlnes.
Homo man muy bo Inclined to ask,
Hns not Christ boon tho great Ruler
of tho world fcr these past nineteen
centuiloa? And whatever uiny bo said
of tho four thouMnud years boforo tho
coming of Chrlut tuny It not bo claim
ed thnt he Iiiih beyn reigning ovor sluco
his nsceuHlou to tho right baud of tho
father? Wo answer Mint If this bo
true; )f tho Redeemer of men has boon
reigning iih the King of earth for
those nineteen centuries, there should
bo something In tho Hlblo to so tench.
Hut wo llud nothing. On the contrary,
wo honrken to tho Master's own words
telling us that Satan is iho l'rluco of
this ago (John xlv, HO), Wo hearken
to him again telling us, "My Kingdom
Is not of this world (ago)" (John xvill,
80). Again ho says, "I will comq again
and rccolvo you unto luysoir' (John

tells us tho samo thing In Matthew
xxv, 31, "When tho Son of Man shall
como in his glory, and all tho holy an
gels with him, thou shall ho sit upon
tbo throno of his glory."
Ou tho other band, as wo scan the
pages of history during tho past eight
een centuries, wo are convinced that
Messiah hns not been tho King of tho
world. To think of him as such, with
tho omnipotent power which wo ac
credit to htm, would bo to charge him
with responsibility for bloody and
atrocious persecutions and wars and
famines and pestilences. Surely no
right-minded person, after mature con
sideration, can ratloually accept tbo
theory that tho glorious Messiah's
reign of righteousness for tbo blessing
of tho wholo earth, tho uplifting of
tho wholo raco, tho enlightenment of
every creature, and tbo bringing of all
possible Into accord with Clod nono of
ns could think thnt that relgu of tho
great Mediator between God nnd men
Is In tho past. Wo must ogreo with
our text tiiat It Is In tho future, and
thnt, when established, Its effect upon
tho Institutions of tho present politi
cal, social, financial, religious will bo
Ntich that they will tlec nwny; no
plnco over moro will be found for
them. Ah! from this standpoint thcro
is hopo; but from uo other standpoint.
Wo are living todny nt the ery ell
mnx of civilization. Yet todny wo bo
bold moro clearly thnn over before
thnt thodeeply-lngrnltied selfishness
ot humanity is u blight upon nil tho
blessings nnd conveniences ami advan
tages of our day.
'Th Cur of Sslfiihnen.
I need not do mora than remind
you that ni'lllnhnotn Is to be found fn
every ouo of hi, und that a sembluuco
of rlghteoiiMit'KH Is Insisted upon by us
nil and adhered to, nnd violators of I
nro styled criminals. Nevertheless It
seems Impossible to legislate eijulty,
Justice. The keen Intellects of men
find opportunities for clrcmuvontlnK
tho laws and for committing theft nnd
murder und sin In tho face of laws and
without danger of being punished.
Let us illustrate this: Wo hnvu henrd
of the famines of India and how tho
llrltlHh Government hns spent millions
of "Pounds Sterling" for Irrigation pur
poses to compensate for Irregulnrltles
In tho rain-fall. Undoubtedly the fam
ines nro to Homo extent due to water
scarcity. Nevertheless, ouo of tho
ablost of our engineers Informs the
world that there Ima not been In tlfty
years such a scarcity ib Bhould have
created tho famines. The famines of
India, which have cost the Uvea of
millions, nro to bo accredited to groed
-selllshnosH which hns nourished un
dor tho shndow of tho law. Wealthy
milling concerns purchnso tho rice from
tho natives nnd grind It Into Hour, Ily
ngroomont between themselves they do
not compete, but press tho tuurket
prlco of rlco lower qnd lower until tho
poor nntlvo, unnblo to mnko a profit,
decllucs to plant, enro for nnd harvest
tho crop. As n result thoro Is fnmlno.
Tho poor natives suffer; "but tho man
agers of tho milling properties pay
largo dlvldonda of from fifty to ono
hundred nnd fifty per cont. on Invested
capital to tho wealthy owning them,
As nn Illustration of tho exorbitant
profits I will relato n case: Two young
men whose accumulated. Bavlnga
amounted to thirty thousand rupees
(about two thousand j)ouiuls( or ten
(&uuH5if3 "auTlnrV) toyostct: ti 4l "tlce
milling. Their profits for the first year
were eighty thousand rupces-ibout
flvo thousand pounds, or twenty-flvo
thousand dollars. They were not in
tho combluo to depress tbo prlco of
rice, but they profited by what tho
Combluo accomplished. These Inequi
ties of our present social order aw
beyond tho reach and correction of
the comparatively fow men of ability
not directly or indirectly Interested in
them.
Thi Whits Throne Judgmtnt.
Neither Jehovah nor his great Repre
sentative, Messiah, can In any senso
or degree bo a party to lnjustlco or in
equity. Tbo fact thnt lnjustlco has
been permitted, and that inequity
has been tho rule for centuries, Is
to bo accounted for by tho other
fact that durjng all this period tho
world has been under tho reign of sin
and death, and not under tho reign of
righteousness and life; It has been un
der tho reign of Satan, "the Trlnco of
this world" nnd of the darkness of
selfishness and evil all of which his
namo represents and not under the
dominion of Messiah, tho Representa
tive of Jehovah, nnd his righteousness;
not under tho King of glory, tho anti
typical David and Solomon, tho nntl
typical Aaron and Mclcbtscdec. Tho
Now Dispensation which Messiah's
Kingdom will usher in is pictured In
our text. It will bo tbo dominion (bat
will bo world-wide pure, holy, right
eous, Just, truthful, Hod-like n"rent
White Throne. No wonder wo read
that tbo symbolical heavens and earth,
representing tho old order of things
social, ecclesiastical will alt vanish
away.
Hut let no ouo think for a moment'
that ecclesiastical princes, financial
princes and political princes will vol
untarily acknowledge that tho hour
has como for a full surrender to Mcs
Blah and to all tho principles of his nb
soluto righteousness. On tho contrary,
theso privileged members of our raco
will moro aud moro bo drawn together
for mutual protection for tho pros-
ervatlon of tho special privileges which J
unvo como imo meir possession, l.ven
now wo seo tho prophecy of tho Sec
ond Psalm fulfilling. Wo aro in tho
vory tlmo when tho Lord, through tho
Prophot David, calls the great ones of
tho. earth to recognize tho true situa
tion of our wouderful day that it
means that tho Day of Messiah has
arrived, and that ho should bo recog
nized aud his principles of righteous-'
ncss obeyed, I
Tho call Is recognized, Saluto tho
Son, O yo kings of the earth, whllo yo
aro In tho way with him, before his
nugcr bo kindled nnd yo perish by tbo
way (Psalms II, 10-12), But no, tho
prophecy declares thnt wo arc In tbo
day when tho pcoplo, tho musses, will
havo foolish Imaginations whou they
will think that by tbelr own strength
they can Inauguruto n reign of right
eous n ess aloug tho linos of Socialism
or by anarchy, Tbo pcoplo must
learn that tholr help la In tho Lord
and not In tholr own frail arm. Tho
people must see tho forco of tho stato
