Itbtnk of the Dlrine Program as being
merely an endeavor 10 re'sctle mankind
from sin arid death to ' righteousness
and eternal life in the present time.
iSuch as hold this view are much con
tused, because it must bo acknowl
edged that comparatively little has
(been done, or Is now being done, for
mian's uplift. After six thousand years
'it Is still true that "The whole world

who hold it are obliged to greatly low

irlghteousaiid acceptable for life ctcr
uial. Asv,a whole, Christian people are
;,reiftly bewildered. The tendency of
thclr bmVIIdcrrnBnt is toward doubt,
skepticism, atheism.
' TJiHor low briefly stated Is that
IGod never intended the salvation ot
lithe world,-but merely the salvation of
itho Church, elect nccordlng to the fore-
Iknowledgo of God through sanctlflca
tion of tho Spirit and belief in the
Truth. Those who hold this theory
Ihavo groat confusion also, because it
ificcms Incomprehensible that God
iwould make no provision for "thou
sands of 'millions" of Adam's race, but
mrrang'o for them to bo born in sin,
ishapcn In iniquity, nnd to go down to
itho tomb (or worse) without a clear
fcnowlodgo of God nnd his purposes
land will respecting them.
As wo have already frequently set
tforth, both of tho described theories
larc erroneous. Tho Scriptures set
rforth two salvations, entirely separate
nd?liitlrlct. Thoy are different as re
wpefets' tllnc. In that the one "salvation
ibeg'aii' to bo spoken by our Lord" at
llils First Advent, and began to bo ap
rpllcablo to his Church at Pentecost,
tnnd will wholly cease at his Second
Coining in tho end of this Ago. Tho
other salvation neither applied boforo
our Lord's Iirst Advent nor during
(this Gospel Age, but will apply to all
mankind, except tho Church, during
the Millennium the thousnnd yenrs
of tho reign of Christ and tho Church,
Hpoclally designed for the blessing of
the world and its uplifting out of sin
And death conditions.
Thuso two salvations nro distinctly
fllfforont as to kind, as well ns respects
"their plan of operation. Tho salvation
of tho Church during this Gospel Ago
since romecoHt muans not only a
ftbllvn'raiico from sin and death condi
tions lo eternal life, but provides that
tho eternal llfo will be on tho honvon
ly or spiritual piano nud not on tho
earthly or human piano of existence.
Thua tho Apostlo declares that our "In
ilioiitnnoo is incorruptible and undo,
'filed and fadoth not away and is re
served In hoavon for us, who nro kept
by tho power of God through faith
unto salvation" (I Peter t. , B). Our
iI.ord also told that In tho resurrection
,V0 ttlinll be like unto the angels. The
Apostlo also declares that ultimately
wq shall bo partakers of tho dlvlno
nature and like our Lord nnd Iledcom.
er.
Hence, nil who participate in this
salvation of this GompoI Ago are Scrip
iturally spoken of as Now Creatures in
Christ Jesus, whoso "citizenship Is In
heaven." These nro assured thut at
the Lord's Socond Coming thoy will
constitute tho First Resurrection class.
They aro guaranteed that only tho
Mossed and holy will havo part thero
In, and that all participating in that
.First Resurrection will bo Itoyal
(Priests unto God and unto Christ, nnd
relgu with htm a thousand years (Nov
oJnOon xx, 0). They aro assured that
tho transformation of mind which
they now experience through tho bo
getting of tho holy Spirit will, in tholr
resurrection, result In a complete
transformation, providing thorn with
lirlt bodies. Thus It Is written of
thulr resurrection, "It is sown in weak
noss; It la raised In power: It Is sown
In dishonor; It Is raised In glory; It is
sown an animal body; it Is raised a
spiritual body" (I Corinthians xv, 42
11). Of thoso who will share in the
Ohuroh'u salvation the Aost!o says,
"yq 8ha.ll not nil sloop, but must all
lo, changed," because "Hosh and blood
cannot Inherit the Kingdom of God"
(I Corinthians xv. GO, Bl).
Tho world's salvation which will fol
low will bo wholly different from this,
tit will not lucludo m change of nature
from oarthly to spirit nature. It will
jutwu a roMue from sin nnd duath to
'tho earthly perfection of tho original

THE TWO SALVATIONS
"God to loved the world that he gave hit
only begotten Son, that whosoever Lelieveth in
him ihoiild not perish, but have everlasting
He" (John iii. 16).
"Christ alto loved the Church and gave him
self (or it, that he might sanctify' and cleanse
it by the washing of water by the word; triat
he might present it to himself a glorious Church,
not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;
but that it should be holy and without blem
ish" (Ephesians v. 25-27;.
ooO'.. ........... ... ........ i
Iscd that the same Sin-dffcrlng shall
seal a New Covenant between him
self and mankind. Tho Blessings of
that New CoveHtint 'arrdrfgclnent will
then immediately bcfjlii. The great
Redeemer will thenceforth be the
great Mediator of that New Cove
nant. Tho wholo world of mankind
will bo fully under his supervision
and government for their blcsslnrr,
tholr correction in righteousness, their
uplifting out of sin and death con
ditionsback, back, back, to all that
was lost in Eden. All of this was
the original design of the Great Cre
ator. All of this will be outworked
through the Great Redeemer. All of
this was secured or surctkd by his
death, finished at Calvary (Hebrews
vli, 22).
St. Peter, pointing down to that glo
rious time of the world's blessing, cali3
it "times of refreshlng4r3nl tlme3 of
restitution." He tells us that all the
holy prophets described tho blessings
of thoso restitutlpn times the thou
sand years, the Millennium (Acts ill,
10-21). When once we get the eyes of
our understanding opened, wo find the
Apostle's words thoroughly corrobo
rated by tho Divine records, which de
scribe the wonderful blessings that are
to come when the earth shall yield her
Increase. Then Paradlso Lost shall be
Paradise Regained. Then God will
make his earthly foott.tool glorious.
Then tho blessing of the Lord shall
make rich and he will add no sorrow
therewith. Then streams shall break
forth in the desert and tho wilderness
and solitary places shall be glad. But
most glorious will bo tho change In hu
manity. The Lord promises to turn to
the people a "pure message" instead
of tho contradiction of creeds of hea
thenism nnd Churchlanity. Ho prom
ises that Satan shall bo bound for that
thousand years, that ho may deceive
tho nations no more. He promises
that then all the "blinded eyes shall be
oponcd and all tho deaf ears shall be
unstopped" (Isaiah xxxv, b; II Corin
thians iv. 4).
Two Salvations One Savior.
Both of these salvations, according
to tho Bible, result from the death of
Jesus our Redeemer, who died in obedi
ence to tho Divine will, "Died, tho
Just for the unjust, that ho mlcht
bring us to God" (I Peter III, 18). Tho
Scriptures clearly show not only tho
two salvations, but also two parts of
the Bedcomer's work, distinctly sep
arating his work for tho Church from
his work for the world. In his death
there was a Divine goucral provision
for tho sins of tho whole world and a
special provision for tho sins of tho
Church. Tho two thoughts nro fre
quently brought out in tho Scriptures.
Ono text distinctly declares, "Ho Is tho
propitiation satisfaction for our sins
tho Church's sins, and not for ours
only, but also for tho sins of the whole
world." Ills death constituted the sat
isfaction price. The Redeemer np
plled that merit for the Church's sins,
"for us," long ago, eighteen centuries
boforo wo were born. Only when wo
became believers and entered into a
Covenant of sacrifice did wo obtain
our share in tho merit of that great
sacrifice. The world has not yet re
ceived Its share of that promised
blessing, but the operation of the Dl
vlno Plan Is sure and will bring It to
them "In duo time," ns St. Paul de
clares (I Timothy II, 0).
The drawing and calling of tho
Church has not been along tho Hues of
human perfection, for all are sluuers
and none righteous or perfect. And
many of thoso drawn of tho Lord were
by nature much more fallen and de
praved than some who glvo no evi
dence of the work of graco In their
hoarts. The Lord's calling and draw
tug seem to bo along tho Hues of Jus
tice, .love of righteousness, faith, hu
mility and obedience. These- quali
ties will all belong to the perfect man.
But all havo lost thorn In vnrylng de
grees. Such as respond to tho Lord's
call now are accepted as being In tho
right hoart attitude which, If they had
perfect bodies, would constitute them
perfect men. In other words, they
havo qualities of hoart which, If
brought to a knowledge of tho Truth,
would prove some ot them to bo pure
lit heart and such as the Lord would
deslro should huve eternal llfo aud nil
of his favors. But more nro called aud
drawn by God's providences and the
preaching of his message thnu ho do
signs to save In the present salvation.
He Is choosing a very select class for
a vory apodal purpose and therefore
makes tho tonus and conditions of
their salvation extremoly dltUcult. As
n cousequuuee wo road, "Many nre
called, but few chosen" under this
"high calling of God In Christ Joans."
Terms of Salvation Differ.

requirement of God for the world ot
mankind during the Millennial Age
will similarly be obedience to God'
Just, reasonable regulations, laws
Whoever then will render obedience
mny with proportionate rapidity
up on the highway of holiness toward1
perfection at Its end. Whoever re
fuses obedience to the extent of his
ability will fall to make progress and
ultimately die the Second Death, from
which there will bo no redemption
and no resurrection.
Such obedience as will be required
of mankind in the great Mediator's
Kingdom will Include their co-opera
tion in the resistance of their own fall
en weaknesses. It will include the
exercise of patience and kindness to
wards their fellow-creatures, fellow
sufferers. The Divine Law of love to
God with all the heart, mind, soul
strength nnd for the neighbor as for
one's self they must learn fully. As
they will realize their own blemishes
and strive to overcome them nnd ask
not tho Father, but the Mediator for
forgiveness, they will be obliged
follow the Divine rule of exercising
towards others similar mercy and for
giveness to that which they de3lro for
themselves. But they will not be re
quired to enter Into the covenant of
self-sacrifice, self-denial, etc. All the
blessings of God on tho earthly plane
will bo for them fully and freely to
use and enjoy, in harmony with the
Divine regulation.
Tho conditions governing the salva
tion of the Church are wholly differ
ent from thoso which will appertain
to tho world. The Church Is called out
of the world under a Divine Invitation
to suffer with Christ in tho present
life and during this Gospel Age and
then to reign with Christ during the
Millennial Age. participating in his
Mediatorial Kingdom for tho blessing.

is not in vain, therefore, that our Lord
and the apostles. In setting forth the
call of the Church during this Age.
specified particularly nnd frequently
tho necessity for nil who would share
in this salvation to participate with
the Redeemer in his sacrificing, in "his
death," and consequently participate in
"his resurrection" and in his reign of
glory. Hnrk to the words, "Be thou
faithful unto death and I will give thee
a crown of life;" "To him that over
cometh will 1 grant to sit with me in
my Throne;" "And whosoever doth not
bear his cross, and come after me.
cannot be my disciple" (Luke xiv. 27)
Let us remember our Lord's words to
the disciples James and John, respect
ing a place in his Millennial Throne.
He intimated that the getting to the
Throne nt all, in any place, would im
ply great humility and self-sacrifice,
Ho asked the disciples, "Aro ye able
(willing) to drink of tho cup that
shall drink of and to be baptized with
tho baptism (Into death) tnat I am
baptized with?" (Mark x, 38.) Heart
en again: This cup of which he tells
us we must drink, If we would sit in
his Throne, is his comniuiiioa cup. It
is offered, not to tho world, but to
his consecrated followers. It Is not
another cup. but "My Cup." Tho In
vltntlon was. "This Is my blood of the
New Testament, which Is shed for
many for the remission of sins. Drink
ye nil of It" (Matthew xxvl, 28. 27). It
must nil bo drunk before tho many,
tho world, can get their share of the
intended blessing through tho New
Covenant, which this blood seals. And
only tho disciples of Christ, only those
who deslro to walk in his steps, nro in
vited to drink of that cup. All of
them nro so Invited and they will
drink all of it. None of it will bo left
for the world during the Millennial
ge to drink. It Is a special prlvllego
to drink of this cup. With the drink
ing of It goes the special blessing of
tho special snlvntiou of this Gospel
Age. Except we cat of his Uesh (ap
propriate the merit of his sacrifice),
and unless we drink his blood (Join In
sncrlllco with him), wo have no life
In us inherent life. Immortality.
So far as our hearts aud minds nre
concerned at the time of our consecra
tion thoy must bo fully given up to the
Lord oro he will accept them. We
could bo no more fully consecrnteo? if
wo 'had absolutely perfect bodies and
wero absolutely free from all tho en
(ailment of Adam's condemnation. But
God's requirement is that no sacrifice
mny come upon ills nltar. except such
as Is without spot or blemish. Hence
ho could not nccopt our offering, our
consecration, ovon though It wero as
completely and fully mnde as was our
dear Redeemer's. Hence his first pro
vision was that tho righteousness of
Christ should be Imputed to us on ac
count of our fnlth and obedience, In
order to penult us to offer sacrifices
holy aud acceptable to God (Malachl
111, I); Romans xll, 1).
This view of our participation In tho
Redeemer's merit separately aud apart
from tho world's participation In It
by faith and Imputation of merit and
not actually tho Bible declares to be
a "mystery," which not many aro able
to discern only the splrltually-mludcd
