On the other band, as 'we scan the
pages of history during the fast eight
een centuries, wo are convinced that
Messiah has not been tho King of the
world. To think of him as such, with
the omnipotent power whicli wo ac
credit to him, would be 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 rationally accept the
theory that the glorious Messiah's

as could think that that reign of the

our text that it is In the future, and
that when established, Its effect upon

such that they will flee away; no

The Curs of 8lfishni.
I need not do more than remind
you that selfishness Is to be found in
every one of us, and that a semblance
of righteousness Is Insisted upon by us
all and adhered to, and violators of It
are styled criminal. Nevertheless It
seems Impossible to legislate equity,
Justice. The keen Intellects of men
find opportunities for circumventing
the laws and for committing theft and
murder and sin In the face of laws and
without danger of being punished.
Let us Illustrate this: We have beard
of the famines of India and how the
British Government has spent millions
of "Pounds Sterling" for Irrigation pur.
poses to compensate for Irregularities
In the rain-fall. Undoubtedly the fam
ines are to some extent due to water
scarcity. Nevertheless, one of the
ablest of our engineers Informs the
world that there has not been In fifty
years such a scarcity as should have
created the famines. The famines of
India, which have cost the lives of
milIons, are to be accredited to greed
selfishness which has flourished un
der the shadow of the law. Wealthy
milling concerns purchase the rice from
the natives and grind it Into flour. By
agreement between themselves they do
not compete, but press the market
price of rice lower and lower until the
poor native, unable to make a profit
declines to plant, care for and harvest
the crop. As a result there is famine.
The poor aatlvea suffer; but the man
agers of the milling properties pay
large dividends of from fifty to one
hundred and fifty per ceat on invested
capital to the wealthy owning them.
As an Illustration or me exorouaBi
proflU I will relate a case; Two young
men whose accumulated savings
amounted to thirty thousand rupees,
(atxnlt two .thousand pound?. m or tenj
tUtJESEIfil TIoTlaTsr) TOTCJirca it Ifl "rlce
xnilllng. Their proflt3 for the first year
were eighty thousand rupees about
five thousand pounds, or twenty-five
thousand dollars. They wero not In
the comblno to depress the prlco of
rice, but thoy profited by what -tho
combine accomplished. These Inequi
ties of our present social order art)
beyond the reach and correction of
tho comparatively few men of ability
not directly or Indirectly Interested in
them.
The Whits Throne Judgment
Neither Jehovah nor his great Repre
sentative, Messiah, can in any sonsa
or degree be a party to injustice or in
equity. Tho fact that injustice has
been permitted, and that inequity
has been tho rule for centurlesi -Is
to be accounted for by tho other
fact that during all this period the
world has been under tho reign of Bin
and death, and not under tho reign of
righteousness and life; it has been un
der the reign of Satan, "tho Prince of
this world" and of the darkness of
selfishness and evil all of which his
name represents and not undor the
dominion of Messiah, the Representa
tive of Jehovah, and his righteousness;
not under tho King of glory, the anti
typical David and Solomon, the antl
typical Aaron and Melchlscdec. The
New Dispensation which Messiah's
Kingdom will usher In Is .pictured in
our text It will bo tho dominion that
will b"e world-wide pure, holy, right
eous, Just truthful, God-like a great
White Throne. No wonder we read
that the symbolical heavens and earth,
representing the old order of things
social, ecclesiastical will all vanish
away.
But let no one think for a momenf
that ecclesiastical princes, financial
princes and political princes will vol
untarily acknowledge that the hour
has come for a full surrender to Mes
siah and to all the principles of his ab
solute righteousness. On tho contrary,
these privileged members of our race
will more and more bo drawn together
for mutual protection for tho pres-
cnuuuu ui me special privileges wuicu i
nave come imo weir possession, jsven
now we see the prophecy "of the Sec
ond Psalm fulfilling. We aro In tho
very time when tho Lord, through the
Prophet David, calls the great ones of
the earth to recognize the true situa
tion of our wonderful day that It
means that the Day of Messiah has
arrival, and that he should bo recog
nized and his principles of righteous-
ness obeyed. I
Tho call U recognized, Salute- the
Son, O ye kings of the earth, while ye
are In the way with him, before his
anger be kindled and ye perish by the
way (Psalms II. 10-12). But no, the
prophecy declares that we are In the
day when the people, the masses, will
have foolish Imaginations when they
will think that by their own strength
they can inaugurate a reign of right
eousness along the lines of Socialism
or by anarchy. The people must
learn that their help la In the Lord
and aot in their own frail arm. The
people must see the force of the state
meat "Blessed are all they that put
their trust In Messiah" (verse 12). The
Lord is about to establish the great
White Throne of absolute JuaUce in
the world.
Oeeas lo sally we meet a man whose
trala ef thought rewinds a of a row
of flf-t tan.
