Question: “Mr. Thompson, you
spoke about ‘signs’ and ‘Present
Truth’. You also said that we are
to watch for these things. What
ere the ‘signs’ and the ‘Present
Truth’ about which you have said
so much."
Answer: “The hope of the world
has always been in the coming of
the Lord. It is spoken of more
than 300 times in the New Testa­
ment. This fact is remarkable.
Down through the ages, religious
leaders have prayed for this event.
Luther wrote: ‘I ardently hope
that, amidst these internal dissen­
sions on the earth, Jesus Christ
will hasten the day of His coming.’
Alexander Campbell preached this
hope in these words: ‘Let the
church prepare herself for the re­
turn of her Lord, and see that she
make herself ready for His appear­
ance.’ Some of the signs which
Jesus said would precede His sec­
ond coming are these: wars, pestil-
ances, earthquakes, false propnets
and false Christs, iniquity would
abound, the love of many would
wax cold, the sun should be dark­
ened, the stars should fall. On May
19, 1780 the dark day occurred.
Those who experienced this unus­
ual day felt that the day of Judg­
ment had come. Whittier wrote a
poem about it. In 1833 the great
meteoric shower occurred. Charles
Young, professor of Astronomy at
Princeton, wrote these words: ‘The
sky was as full of them (meteors)
as it is ever of snowflakes in a
storm . . . The number at some
stations was estimated as high as
200,000 an hour for five or si*
hours.’ One needs say little about
wars, pestilances, or iniquity. These
terms are selfevident as descriptive
of our own day. The increase in
earthquakes is interesting. In the
first century A. D„ there were
only 15, and with only three ex­
ceptions they have increased every
century. In the nineteenth century
in one decade there were 339.
while the total for the entire hun­
dred years was over 2,000. These
signs are a fulfillment of Jesus’
prophecy that we might know tha.
His time is near, yea, even at the
doors. Present Truth is to war i
the world. The last warning that
the world is to receive is the cry
cf God's judgment. Following the
completion of that Jesus will come
nguin. God has a purpose for
everything. The purpose for Jesus’
second advent is to take His faith­
ful home, and to administer justice
to those who have been unfaithful.
Before one may receive a rew rd
or be punished he has a rifht to
a trial. Rev. 14:6-13 telis us that
the last warning is to be enclosed
in the everlasting gospel and with
the special warning that God’s hour
of judgment has come. There is a
plea for all to return to the wor­
ship of God as the Creator and to
give glory to Him. If however, this
warning is not heeded and the com­
mand obeyed ‘the same shall drink
of tibe wine of the wrath of God’.
This warning will be given to all
the world ‘as a witness and then
the end will come.’ ”

PLAIN FACTS ABOUT THE PLAN
TJie Townsend plan proposes a
monthly tax of two per cent on
gl oss incomes' in excess of $2500
or $3,000 per year. It proposes to
distribute the revenue from such
a tax monthly on a pro rata basis
among all citizens past 60 who re­
tire from gainful occupation. It
proposes to compel these elderly
citizens to spend this income each
month before getting their pension
for the succeeding month.
Economists estimate the 1941
national net income will exceed
80 billion dollars.. Through an
established basis of calculation
these economists estimate that 80
billions of net income results in
about 440 billions of gross income.
Not all of this gross income
would be taxable under the Town­
send Plan. About 75 billions of it
will be exempt under the above
mentioned $3,000 exemption clause.
It is estimated that another 35
billions will escape the tax through
wholesalers taking another legal
form and through the religious and
charitable exemptions allowed. This
will leave a total of 330 billions
taxable for the Townsend Plan pen­
sions annually. Two per cent of
such income divided into 12 parts
would yield 550 millions for dis­
tribution monthly.
As is estimated, 11 million
people past 60 would take advan­
tage of the plan and each would
get a pension of $50 a month as
soon as the plan went into opera­
tion. With the pensioners spending
for consumer goods, putting em­
ployes to work, adding monthly to
the nation’s income, the amount
of the pensions would rise.
