London, Eng.. Nov.
6. 1'astor Russell of
the Brooklyn Tab
ernnclo, Now XorW.
preached here to
dny. Koynl Albert
Hull hold a vast au
dience of deeply In
terested hearers.
The speaker chose
his text from Reve
lation xi, 11:
"I saw a grent
PASTOB BX'SSEIX.
While Tbroue, and
him that Bftt on It. from whose face
, the earth and the heaven flod awny.
. and there was found no place for
them." He said:
Bin made moral cowards of our race.
From early Infancy tear and npprehen-
' slon, especially In respect to things fu
ture, have been impressed upon us.
We rcallie our Imperfection, and that
our God la perfect, and that perfection
in the only standard which he could
approve, and tbBt some kind of pun
r. Isbment for sin must be expected. The
Adversary, taking advantage of our
forefathers, misrepresented the Al
mighty and has used our fears to
alienate us from him and to wrest and
' distort bis messago to us In the Bible.
8t Paul assures US that this Is Satan's
' general procedure; that ho puts llttht
.", for , darkness and darkness for light
Thus It comes that our text, which Is
really one of the most beautiful and
comforting In the whole Bible when
rightly understood, has to many be
come a lash hi the bands of their fears.
, 1 Is needless to say that our text is
: one of the symbolisms of a Book filled
with symbols. God's people, guided by
his boly Spirit, in due time will ap-
' predate these, symbols. Kor tunny of
tbem the due time Is already here.
' The Throne Is Messiah's, it represents
bis Mediatorial Dominion of earth for
thousand years. Its whiteness sym
bolizes the purity, the Justice, of his
Kingdom of righteousness under the
whole heavens. The heavens and
earth which will flee away from the
presence of the greut Emmanuel will
not be the heavens of God's Throne,
nor the earth which he has given to
the children of men. The heavens and
earth which will flee away, and for
which no pluce will lie found, are, of
'course, the symbolical ones. , In Bible
symbology the earth represent estab
llsbed civilization: the sea represents
tbe restless, dissatisfied masses of bu-
. manlty. Tbe mountains symbolize hu
man governments, kingdoms, which
constitute the backbone of present
spiritual Influences Eccteslnstlclsin,
Cburchlnnlty. Thus interpreted our
text declares that when Messiah shall
assume control of the world: when he
hall sit upon- bis Tbroue; when he
: shall exercise rulershlp amongst men,
tbe result will be that the social sys
tem of today, as well as the present
day eccleslastlclsm, will flee away, will
pass out of exlitteuco no pluce will be
found for them.
Satan Now the Prinoe.
Soma man may be Inclined to ask.
, lias not Christ beeu tbe great Ruler
of tbe world for these past nineteen
centuries T And whutever may be suld
of the four thousand years before the
coming of Christ may It not be claim
ed that be has been reigning ever since
bis ascension to tlio right bund of the
Father? We answer that if this be
true; If the Redeemer of men has beeu
reigning as the King of earth for
these nineteen centuries, tbore should
be something In tbu Bible to so teach.
But we dud uothlng. ' On tho contrary,
we hearken to tbe Master's own words
telling us Unit Rutan Is tho l'rluce of
this age (John xlv, 30). We hearken
to him again telling us. "My Kingdom
Is not of this world (age)" (.fobn xv III.
SO). Agulu besuys, "1 will come agalu
and receive you unto myself (Johu
lv, 8). Again be tells us that bo went
Into a far country to receive the title
to but Kingdom, then to return to take
possession of It (Matthew xxl. &1; xxv,
14), and that at his second couilug ho
will bo tbe greut King of glory. lie
' tells us the enine tblug in Matthew
xv, 81, "Wbeu tho Sou of Man shall
come In bis glory, and all the boly an
gels wttb him, theu shall be sit upon
the throue of his glory."
' On the other bund, as wo scan the
page of history during the past elghl
eu centuries, we are convluced that
Messiah has not been tho King of the
world. To thluk of him as such, with
' tbe omnipotent power w hich we uc
credlt to him. would be to charge hliu
wltl) , responsibility for bltcxly aud
. atrocious persecutions and wurs and
famines and pestllentv. feurely no
, . right-minded person, after mature con
sideration, can rallouully aevept the
theory that tho gltrUur Mtmsluu't
' reign of righteousness fur tho blewtlug
of tbe whole earth, the upllftlug of
the whole race, tho enlightenment of
every creature, cud the bringing of all
possible Into accord with God none of
us could thluk that that rolxn of the
treat Medlutor between God aud men
la lu the past. We must agree with
our text that it Is In the future, aud
. that, when established, Its effect upon
the Institutions of the present politi
cal, social, Uunnclal, religious will be
such that they will flue away; no
place ever more will be. found for
them. Ah! from this standpoint there
' 1 hope; but from no other standpoint.
We are living today at the very cli
max of civilisation. Yet today we he
boid more clearly than ever before
(bat tbe deeply-Ingrained selfishness
Ayers Hair Vigor
Stainless
of humanity Is a blight upon all the
blessings and conveniences aua advan
tages of our day.
The Curse of 6lf1shness.
I need not do more than remind
on that selfishness) Is to bo found In
every one of us. and that a semblance
of righteousness Is Insisted upon Dy us
all and ndlierfd to. and violators of It
are styled criminals. Nevertheless It
seems Impossible to legislate equity.
Justice. . The keen intellects of men
And opportunities for circumventing
the laws nnd for committing theft and
murder and sin in the face of laws nnd
without danger of being punish, d.
Let us illustrate this: We have beard
of the famines of India and how the
British Government has spent millions
of "rounds 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 tluit 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
millions, ure to be accredited to greed
selfishness which has flourished un
der tho shadow of the law. Wenlthy
milling concerns purchase the rice from
tho natives and grind It Into flour. By
agreement between themselves they do
not compete, but press the market
price of rice lower nnd lower until the
poor native, unable to muko n profit,
declines to plant, care for and harvest
the crop. As result there la famine.
The poor natives suffer; but the man
agers of tho milling properties pay
large dividends of from fifty to one
hundred and fifty per cent on Invested
capital to the wealthy owning them.
As an illustration of the exorbitant
profits I will relate a case: Two yoting
men whose accumulated savings
amounted to thirty thousand rupees
(about two thousand pounds, or ten
thousand dollars) Invested It In rico-
mllling. Their profits for tin first year
were eighty -thousand rupi'es nloiit
Ave thousand pounds, or twenty-five
thousand dollars. They were not In
tho combine to depress the price of
rice, but they profited by what the
combine accomplished. These Inequi
ties of our present soclul order are
beyond the reach and correction of
the comparatively few men of ability
not directly or indirectly Interested In
them.
The Whits Throne Judgment.
Neither Jehovah nor bis great Repre
sentative. Messiuh, can In any seuso
or degree be u party to Injustice or in
equity. The fuct Unit injustice has
been permitted, and that Inequity
has been the rule for centuries. Is
to be accounted for by the other
fuct that during all this period the
world has been under the reign of slu
nnd death, aud not under the reign of
righteousness and life: It bus beeu un
der the reign of Satnn, "the I'rlnce of
this world" uud of the darkness of
selflshuess and evil all of which his
name represents and not under the
dominion of Messiah, the Representa
tive of Jebovuh, nnd his righteousness!
not under the King of glory, the null
typical David and Solomon, the nntl
typlcal Aaron and Mclchlscdcc. Tho
New Dispensation which Messiah's
Kingdom will usher lu Is pictured In
our text. It will be tho dominion that
will be world-wide pure, holy, right
eous. Just, truthful, God-like a great
White Throne. No wonder we rend
that the symbolical heavens and earth,
representing tbe old order of things
social, ecclesiastical will all vanish
away.
But let no one think for a moment
that ecclesiastical princes, financial
princes and political princes will vol
untarily acknowledge that tho hour
has come for a full surrender to Mes
siah and to nil tho principles of his ab
solute righteousness. On tho contrary,
these privileged members of our ruce
will more and more be drawn together
for mutual protection for the pres
ervation of the special privileges which
have como Into their possession. Even
now we see the prophecy of the Sec
ond I'sulm fullllllng. We ure lu the
very time when thu Lord, through the
1'rophct Duvid, culls the great ones of
the earth to recognize the true situa
tion of our wonderful day that It
means that tbe Day of Messiah has
arrived, and that he should be recog
ulzed and his principles of righteous
iiobb obeyed,
Tho cull is recognized. Salute the
Son. O ye kings of the earth, while ye
arc lu tho way with ti I id. before his
anger bo kindled nnd ye perish by the
way (l'sulius II. KM J). Hut Uo, the
prophecy declares that we are In the
day when the people, the musses, will
have foolish luiaglnatious-when they
will thluk that by their owu strength
they can Inaugurate a relgu of right
eousness along tbe lines of Socialism
or by annrehy. The people must
leurn that their help Is lu the Lord
nnd not la their owu frail arm. Tho
IMjople must so the force of the state
ment, "BlfHsed ure all they that put
their trust In Messiuh" (verso U'). Tbe
Lord Is about to establish the greut
Whlto Throne of absolute Justice in
the world.
Ou the other hand, tho money kings
and earthly rulers aud ecclesiastical
princes are taking counsel together to
day for the preservation of the present
Inequities of the world, by which they
arc profiting. Tho Lord declares thut
lu this they are banding themselves
against him nnd ngulust the newly ap
pointed King. Messiuh. For over a
century buinun liberty bus been mak
ing progress, lu spite of every endeuv
or to restrain It. The potentates of
earth perceive the rising tide ff hu
man Intelligence and demands for
equul rights. They perceive that un
less something be done to counteract
Ihla generul movement, the special
privileges of the privileged clauses
will disappear. They are even now
DAILY CAPITAL
taking couusei together how tbe re
straints, whlcb the people are putting
upon them, may be broken and a reign
of autocracy political. Ilnnncial and
rellglous-be re-Inaugurated; a' reign
such as prevailed centuries ago, but
now npon a higher plane, controlled
by brighter wits, holding under re
straint more Intelligent masses.
"Be Instructed, Ys Judgat!"
Would thnt the cultured nnd,influen
tlnl princes of earth could take tbe
proper view of the situation and real
ize the fallacy of their counsels, the
Impossibility of averting the great
changes which are upon us by reason
of the time having come for Messiuh
to take unto himself his grent power
nnd reign! Hearken to the Lord's
words through the Prophet. "Be wise,
now, therefore. O ye kings! Be In
structed, ie Judges of the earth. Serve
the Lord with fear nnd rejoice with
trembling. Po homage to the Son" (vs.
10-12). Could the wise of earth realize
the situation nnd fully submit them
selves to the Divine requirements of
absolute Justice and truth, whnt a
blessing It would be to the world! If
these princes would turn their atten
tion from the grasping of power nnd
money to the enlightenment nnd up
lift Ing of the people they would be
come ministers, servants, of the New
Dispensation, which would be ushered
In with rejoicing. But the I,ord In-,
forms us (hat this w ill not be (lie case
nnd that, as a result. Messiah's King
dom will be ushered In by "a time of
trouble such ns was not since there
was a nation" (Daniel xii. 1). The
rsulmlst tells us the same God will
have In derision the puny efforts of
the worldly-wise und great to re-cstub-llsh
autocracy. He will speak to them
In his wrath the lesson which they re
fuse to hnnr by loving exhortation.
The new King nnd his Empire will be
established In the earth, and tbe
declaration Is that amidst such Divine
displeasure ho shall "break tbem with
a rod of Iron nnd dash them In pieces
like a potter's vessel" (Fsnlm II, .4-0;
Revelation II. 2").
, Small and Great to Bs Judged.
God Is no respecter of persons.
Iloncc, before his Judgment Throne
punishments will he meted out to the
little, as well us to the great, when
found to be violators of (he principles
of Justice. Would that I could Impress
this upon many of the lower classes
who ure crying out against the Injus
tices In high places while practicing
similar Injustices themselves. Let It
be remembered nlso that the great
WM to Throne speaks blessings. Divine
favor and uplifting to nil who love
righteousness nnd hate Iniquity the
lltt'e and the great.
If lu the past n certain retributive
Justice bus seemed to proceed along
national lines, blessing the nations
which take the more righteous course.
nnd frowning upon those which tnu
tbe more evil course, this will no lon
ger be the case lu the not distant fu
ture. The testing Imposed by Mes
siah's Kingdom will be along Individ
ual lines. lie thnt ents the sour grape
of sin will find his teeth on edge, nnd
his nlone. "Justice will be laid to
the line nnd righteousness to the plum
met." nnd nil the refuges of lies, by
which mankind In high places have
sought to fool themselves nnd others,
will be swept awny. Tho hidden things
of darkness will be brought to light und
tbe glorious things of light will be
everywhere recognized. L'ltlmutely;"cv
ery knee shall bow and every tongue
confess" to t'ie enthroned Messiah.
"Th. Books Will B Opensd."
The Master said. "'My Word shall
Judge you In the last day." Happy has
It beeu for the comparatively few who
have heard the Master's Word lu this
present llfe.iind have Judged themselves
thereby, aud submitted themselves to
his righteous precepts! These blessed
ones will sliaro with Messiah the glo
ries of bis Spiritual Empire. Invisible
to men. But during the Thousand Year
Judgment Day of the world (11 Peter
III, 7. 8) the same words tho "wonder
ful words of life" to t hose who will obey,
uud words of death to those who will re
fuso obedience will be tho standards
of Justice for all mankind. Tho books
theu to be opened to all will Include,
not only the words of the Master and
of tho Apostles of the New Testament,
but nlso the Divine message through
the Prophets of old. Then all shall see
tho oneness uud harmony of the Divine
message of righteousness. According
to those standards each who would
hnve eternal life must conform his I ly
ing and his thinking. The approved,
ut the end of Messlub's reign, will be
delivered over to the Father perfect as
human beings. The disapproved will
be destroyed In the- Second Death
without hope (II Peter 11. 12; Judo 12;
Acts ill. 2.'ll.
Another book of life will le opened
another besides the one that Is now
open, which la styled the Lamb's Book
of Life, und lu which Is written the
names of ils faithful followers of tho
present tlnie-"meinlirs of his Body."
"the Royal Priest hood," "the Bride, the
Lamb's Wife." The new book of life
will bo for those who will be on trlul
during Merslah's reign. By Its close
It will Include all of Adam's race found
worthy of eternal life.
Tho Judgment of the Church In the
present lime Is not according to works,
the perfection of which, under present
conditions, would be Impossible. Hence
the Church's Judgment is according to
faith and the obedience of faith pos
sible. But the world's Judgment will
be accord In 7 to works, for the knowl
edge then will be so great that faith
will no longer be at a premium. The
greut Mediator will accept of Imper
fect works according to the ability of
the people; but. as they rise out of
degradation, more and more will be
required of them until In the end they
will be perfected and absolute perfec
tion of works will tie required.
