That Tho Art
Mlndfol of nimr
(PmIu rill, 4.) The large audience
listened with Intense Interest, tbat
a pin-drop could hare been heard.
The speaker said:
For mnoe weeks our city will be la
' the tkroea of a "Herlral of Itelltlea."
IlUudreds of ministers hare placed
thenwelre and their cengregatloas
under tie leadership of the Rer. Dr.
Chapman and Mr. Almander, the fa
mous singer, for the purpose of rear
ing religion; for the purpose of rescu
ing, human souls from etemal torment.
M the proposition is generally under
stood. Business men liar subscribed
large sums of money fur tills noble
work of rewue, rensimlna; thnt If thou
sand of dollars ure spent iu fire-fight-ing
apparatus for the protection of hu
man llfo for a few yeurs, tho services
of MesHr. Chnpninu and Alexander
will be cheap If they carry away twenty-five
thouimnd dollars for a month's
work, provided thu results show a
goodly number rescued from eternal
torment.
We sympathize with some of these
large-hearted nud opon-biinded busi
ness men who give their money for
so lamhilile an ohjoct. Yet we cau
not think tlntt ninny, imy not even a
majority, of those who contributed
this sum have done so conscientious
ly. Wo cnimot think thnt one-hnlf of
them believe lu tho tenchlng of eternal
torture, nor cun we think tlmt more
tlinn one-tenth of them IicIIpvo thnt a
prnctlcnl coiivorHlnn Is signified by a
response to mi Invltntlou which lin
rilles a preference for heavenly bliss
rattier tlinn for eleriinl onguisb. How
ever, It in for those who pny the mon
ey to exerclso their own eoiinclences' In
this mutter, mid it It none of our busi
ness whut tliey decide.
We sympnthlzo also with the hun
dreds of Pastors of this city who have
Joined hi this movement, which they
hope will increuse their conjjregutlons
and church revenues, but these Tas
ters know In reality that the lllble
docs not tench eternal torment, and
they hnve discorded tlie lllble anyway
,'u rnror of Illghor Crltlcal-Infldelity.
Their la an unhuppy and stultified
xisi;ion.
We sympnililxo still moro with the
poor peoplo whose education along
spiritual line Is almost wholly neg
lected, and who live in constant fear
of (ho (iod who loves them and In
dreadful m'miiidcrKtiiiidlng of tho Bi
ble, which ho tins given them. Be
tween the iniperfoctnes of the trans
lation n nil the coloring of prejudice
and the twist of inlmmdorHtiindlng of
some parables and symbols t hoy ore
helpless In the presence of educated
men who tench Inferontlnlly whnt they
do not themselves believe. Alas! poor
"common people!" that you should bo
betrayed by those in whom you re
pose confidence and whom you unwit
tingly pay for keeping you in the dark
hy taking; from you tho key of knowl
edge. Truly, "My peoplo perish for
( lack of knowledge" (Hoses. Iv, 11).
I Sympathies Still Mors With God.
But still more we synipntbieo with
God, wlione name is dishonored, whose
Justice, Merer, Wisdom, l.ove nud
Power are traduced, nay, tIIIIWhI, We
suy to ourself. How wonderful tho
patience of find, which for centuries
has endured blasphemous mlmcpre

Hsarktn Now te Our Text.
The teachings of all of the creeds
of the "Dark Ages" which hare come
down to us, although they contain
many good things, are so befogged
with misrepresentation of God aa te
be stench to our nostrils and a men
ace to our spiritual health. They pic
ture to as a God either reckless and
careless of the future Interests of bis
human creatures, or else as powerless
to aid any but the few. They picture
to us millions going down to torture
during the four thousand years be
fore Jesus came Into the world to seek
and to save that which was lost. They
picture to us thnt since his coming:
only a handful, comparatively, of the
human family have become his dis
ciples, footstep followers, "Meet for
the Inheritance of the saints In light."
All the others, according to our Prot
estant creeds, Cnlvlnlstlc and Armlnl
en, hnve gone down to eternal torture.
From this ntnndpolnt It Is thnt Dr.
Chapman and Mr. Alexander are the
heroes of the hour, saving a few more
whom God would have otherwise neg
lected, or, as some might nay, saving
them In spite of Divine forcordlnatlon
to the contrary. '
But what say the Scriptures? Does
tho Bible substantiate such theories?
Nny, nay! In harmony with our text,
tho entire Hlhle reveals to us a God
ns Intlulte In his Wisdom nnd Power
nn In his Justice nnd Love. Our text
tolls uh that he Is mind fill of his cren
turi'N humanity, lie was mindful in
tho very beginning when be created
man and foreknew his fall. Awny
back there he foretold thnt "the Seed
of the woman should ultimately bruise
the Serpent's head." Awny back there
he Indicated his Divine purpose, In
duo time, to redeem man from destruc
tion (not from eternal torment, for
nono were sentenced to torment I.
The skins which covered the naked
news of our first parents cost the lives
of animals, and thus God typically
prophesied "better sacrifices" for the
perfect covering of man's sin und
shame. In Nod's dealings with the na
tion of Israel, he gave numerous types
foreshadowing the later blessings, fol
lowing "the better sacrifices" of the
nntltyplonl Atonement Day blessing
all the families of the earth.
God was mindful of man's interests
all Unit time (for over forty-two cen
turies), even though, during that long
period, nothing was actually accom
plished. Vho salvation was purposed,
was planned, was assured, hut must
be wailed for until God's dun time.
Reconciliation by "Batter Sacrifices."
When Jesus appeared the world was
still In sin even the one little nation
of Israel was still under Divine con
demnation because of sin because
their typical HiicrlhVes we-e Insutllclent
and merely foreshadows of "the better
sacrifices," which. God wus mindMl
Inter lo lirhiK to pass.
Those "better sacrifices" tiro not yet
completed, though nearly so, we be
lieve. They consist of "the Man Christ
Jesus who Kavo himself a "Itnuaoin
for nil," mid also of the faithful few
whom he him accepted as bis disciples
and who ai e walking In his steps,
"present Ini; helr bodies living sncrl
fives, luily ind nceeptable to God,"
through their liedoeincr lUoni. xll, li.
God Is still mindful of humanity.
Ho hits not forgotten bis responsibili
ties ns a Creator. The theory that
God shirks his responsibility und al
lows the ninety thousand who die
dally to dro; into eternal torment be
cause of carelessness or Indifference
on our part Is not true- Is not Scrip
tural. God alllrms his own resHuislhlllt."
for every feature of bis Plan. He de
clares, "My Word that Is gone forth
out of my mouth ahull not return unto
mo void; it nhnll prosier In tho thing
whereto 1 went It" ilsulah Iv, 11).
Hones we should uiiderstnnd that God
sent no uiesmige to ismveit the world
during the first forty-one hundred and
fifty years rfter Adam'a creation, be
cause lie did not will the world to be
converted them. He had no messags
tr the world. His time had not come
it. Paul refers to this, saying. "The
times of that Ignorance God winked
at" (took no notice of). Hut now,
alnce the death of Jesus, the Just for
the unjust, and the opening up of pos
sibilities for a future life through a
resurrection, God conimsnili all men
everywhere to repent. Ami nil who

bleassd new sad tbe elect must hare
an ear te bear and mast be "drawn
ef tbe Father" and must walk In the
Master's footsteps od ,llu become
copies of God's dear Son. This la the
only work tbns far, and it Is not to tbe
world, but to tbe few who hare the
hearing ear and who leave the world
to become followers of Jesus-
"The High Calling In, Christ."
The Bible declares that now God Is
sending forth a "high calling In
Christ." Tlu.se called during this Gos
pel Age are called to walk in Jesus'
footsteps as saints, "presenting their
bodies living sacrifices," suffering with
their Msster and for his cause. The
promise to sll these la tbat. If faith
ful, they shall share with the great Re

sufferings they will share his exalta
tion to the divine aatsrs and it (Jarr,
boner, and Immortality. And these wttt
participate la tbe glerioas Messiaaic
work soon te begin.
"Let 4 True" Othsra Liars.
If evaagelista aad ether weald
preach this "aarrow way" of the Oea
pel of Christ, hew we weald rejoice
with them, aad how eeoa weald the
true knowledge of Gsd's lore spread
over the world aad appeal to the hearts
of all! Hew gladly we weald hare
them Jola as la this meeaaf aad hi
tbe further message that God's Flaa
In the, next Age will reach Adam aad
all of hi posterity "erery maa," jBst
and unjust living and dead! They
should be told ef the "Time of Reetl
tutlon" that are Bearing. They
should be advised that If they neglect
the "high calling." the "election" vw
In progress, tbey will, nevertheless,
bare responsibility and be liable for
stripes or punishments, In proportion
as they know right from wrong and
wilfully do the wrong.
What we plend for la that tbe edu
cated ministers and laymen should
cease to do evil, cense to misrepresent
and traduce our gracious Creator. We
warn them that he will not hold guilt
less those who take bis name In vain
will not bold guiltless those who atro
ciously malign bis name.
The Greet Revival Coming.
As for methods for the calling of the
"elect" in this Age, we urge that
neither we nor others are wise enough
to Improve upon the methods nnd prac
tices of Jesus and the Aiwstles. We
urge that nny deviation from their
Gospel of "j:ood tidings of great Joy
for nil people" must be Injurious. We
urge that we of today should preuch,
as St. Peter did at Pentecost, not only
of the "high calling" of the Church,
but also of the world's blessing "Times
of Restitution of all things which God
hath sHiken by the mouth of nil the
holy prophets since the world began"
(Acts ill, 10-2U).
We urge that such n general presen
tation of Divine Justice would appeal
to all true hearts nud bends iu the
present time much better tlinn any
"expediency" preaching and prepare
all mankind the better for the future
as well as for the present life.
The great revival of religion will
come to the world Immediately follow
ing the great time of trouble with
which this Gospel Age is shortly to
end. Then, under the blessing of Mes
siah's Empire, all the ignorance and
superstition und misrepresentation of
God and cf his Plan will flee away be
fore the presence of the Sun of Right
eousness, which will Illuminate the
world.
Then will come God's time for bless
ing the world. His Kingdom, estab
lished In the world with jiower and
great glory, will rule it with n rod of
iron, compelling prompt obedience to
the Divine I.mv, both In letter nnd In
spirit. The obedient wlU be helped
upward nnd will progress step by step
to perfection, while the rebellious,
after proper testing ond provlngs.
"will be destroyed from nmongst the
people" In 'lie "Second Death."
Why shoulJ we uot tell tbe people
plainly that there is n special salva
tion now In progress and thnt a com
mon or general one will follow for the
non-elect? 'Vhy not explain to them
the great re-vard of the.present time
Jolnt-helrshln with Messlnli In the
Kingdom for which we pray, "Thy
Kingdom come: thy will be done on
earth as In heaven?" Why not ex
plain to the world thnt restitution Is
the portion of nil who do not choose
to sacrifice, hut that, in-cording to their
present course, upward or downward,
will he tlie'r standing future more
or less d'-ipproved nnd requiring
more or los of ch'istletneiits or

l'LAIXTS. You cannot be over-careful In the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi
cine should ever be given, except In
emergency cases. Ordinary pills, ca
thartics and purgatives are apt to do
more harm than good. They cause
griping, nausea and other distressing
after-effects that are frequently
health-destroying and a life-lasting
annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
for constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have suCh absolute
faith In the virtues of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every Instance where
tt fails to give entire satisfaction, and
we urge all In need of such medicine
to try It at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy. They are particularly prompt
and agreeable In action, may be tak
en at any time, day or night; do not
cause diarrhoea, nausea, griping, ex
cessive looseness or other undesira
ble effects. They have a very nat
ural action upon the glands and or
gans with which they come in con
tact, act as a positive and regulative
tonic upon the relaxed muscular
coat of the bowel and Its dry mucous
lining; remove Irritation, overcome
weakness, tone and strengthen the
nerves and muscles, and restore the
bowels nnd associatle organs to
more vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies completely relieve
constipation, except when of & surgi
cal character. They also tend to
overcome the necessity of constantly
taking laxatives to keep the bowels
In normal condition. Two siies of
packages, 10 cents and 25 cents. Re

THE P0ST0FFICE,
THE POPULAR MAGAZINES
AND THE PEOPLE
X provision has been added to the postofBce appro
priation bill by thee Senate postoffice committee with
out proper notice oor public hearing. It provides for an
unjust, discriminatory and confiscatory tax on the popu
lar magazine by attaching this provision to the post of
fice appropriation bill at the eleventh hour. All oppor
tunity for open discussion and consideration by the peo
ple, the publishers and the Senate was cut off. It was
an un-American Star Chamber proceeding, accomplished
under Presidential and political coercion.
If this bill Is passed with th provision which practi
cally exempts from taxation magazine which hav not
spoke boldly oa public questions, many of th popular
periodical will be put out of business altogether and
the others, without exception, will be seriously crippled.
Erea if It were possible for the magazines to con
tinue in business under these new conditions, the peo
ple would derlre no benefit from the measure, for until
the Postoffice Department Is taken out of politics, and
