tho wealthy carry on a kind of brlgand

ous of Imitating them, but unnblo no

vlolenco to an extent that Is nlarmltiK

elaborate nnd costly police protection

these lines, to those who have the eye
of understanding to see. It Is time
thnt these great truths were being; em
phasized nnd that the boastful gentle
men who Ignore them should bare
tbclr true measure taken, regardless of
how many titles may follow their
names. The moderately educated as
well as the Illiterate need such a testi
mony to come from every pulpit. And
if it does not soon come our civiliza
tion will be wrecked.
All-Seeing Eye Not Omnipresence..
'Thou, Ood, sccst me;" "Tbe eye of
the Lord Is In every place." These
Scriptures give us the proper concep
tion of the Almighty. As with the tele
scope, the microscope, the telephone.
etc., man can enlarge bis range of
vision and hearing, so by (lowers still
more wonderful tbe Almighty is cog
nizant of all tbe affairs of the Uni
verse. We grant thnt our feeble minds
Are unnble to comprehend so great, so
universal an Intelligence.
We cannot know In what manner the
angels, tbe spirit servants of God, are,
as His eyes, In every place, to take
cognizance of our affairs. We cannot
know lu what manner tho electric or
lightning flash serves as n Divlno mes
senger. But we can believe that a
Soul so Infinitely high above us pos
Bosses powers of Information as far
beyond our comprehension as tho tele
phone and wireless telegraphy and
electric light were beyond the compre
hension which our forefathers had of
these things In tls'lr day. It Is ensler
to bollevo that so great a Being as
tho Una who formed man should bnve
all wisdom and all tower than to be
lieve Ilim deficient of these. The
Scriptural argument Is a good one:
"Ho that formed the eye, shall Ho not
see? I lu that formed the ear, shall He
not hear?"
God In Heaven and In Hell.
The creeds banded down to us from
the dark past declare that fiod is ev
erywhere present omnipresent. This
Is as unthinkable as It Is foolish and
utiscrlptural. Taking advantage of
this error of "orthodoxy." the Adver
sary has turned many away from a be
lief in it personal fiod. He who Is ev
erywhere Is rum-hero. Tin; result Is
the absurd view which has taken hold
on sunn; otherwise Intelligent people.
to tho effect thnt tood and Cod nre
Kynonoinous. Hence a log of wooil
thnt Is good fin- something, that enn be
made into something useful. Is said to
bavo yowl In It. and. hence, to have
Cud In lt-dllto. a piece of Iron, a bed.
a chair, a table. The folly grows Into
snylng that fiod Is everywhere and Is
in everything. Thus faith In n "god
of nature and happen-so" takes tho
place of faith in the fiod of tho Bible,
whose residence Is lu heaven, but
whoso Intelligence and power extend
throughout the Universe, In thousands
of ways of which we ure only learning
through electricity, radio activity,
etc., besides angelic messengers that
can couio and go like the wind.
Our text, misunderstood. Is supposed
to teach Divine omnipresence, whereas
It really teaches Hlvluo omniscience
and Almighty power. The Lord's pres
ence, as represented in His intelligence
nnd power, nro everywhere. Nowhere
could we go to be beyond Ills reach
nnd beyond Ills knowledge Were this
thought thoroughly iuipresHcd upon
every human mind, what a vast dif
ference It would make in hiiinnn con
duct from that now seen-ln Wall
Street, lu banks. In palaces, lu hovels,
lu saloons. In gambling bouses every
where. It Is the great lessoii needed
by tho whole world. Everyone who
ticllcMM this should Join with nature
In attesting Divlno Wisdom, Power.
Justice and I.ove.
But really the undermining of faith
In the fiod of the Bible bus been ac
complished largely by the misrepre
sentation of the Bible's teaching. Our
text, for Instance, Is supposed to tench
Hint fiod Is lu heaven with the saintly,
rejoicing with them and enjoying their
pleasure ami that He also Is iu bell
with Iho unsatutly, looking upon their
sufferings and tortures and planning
with devils for their everlasting con
tlnnnnco. Thluklng minds are reject
lug such nonsense, but, alas, they nre
rejecting rho Bible, too, hence havo no
foundation for a better, truer faith.
Every educated minister knows that
I tell the Truth to (lie common people
when I Bay thnt the word hell in our
text has not the slightest reference to
a place of torture, or even of conscious
ness. Indeed this Is truo of every oc
currence of tho word Ml, from fiene
sis to Mnlacht. In every Instance tho
translation Is from the biiuio Hebrew
word, theol, which slgullles the grave,
the tomb, ami la thus most frequently
translnted.
I urge upon all ministers of educa
tion to Join with me In explaining to
tho public the truo meaning of the lie
brew word srol and the (ireek word
kaile. Whatever mny have been their
thought of expediency iu the past they
should nro that the mistaken views of
tho meaning of those words nre un
dermining tho faith of Christendom.
The Psalmist really said. "If I as
cend up Into the sky. Thou art there;
If I make my bint In thivl (the gravel,
behold. Thou nrt there. in tho
uttermost parts of tho sen, eveu there
Hmll Thy hand lead me nnd Thy right
h-.nd shall bold nie." Tho thought la
that tho Divlno Tower Is everywhere.
Hint whether we live or die, nothing
can separate us from fiod's Wisdom
sad Bower nnd from the ultimate ac
complishment of our rescue from the
power or ine grave, which tioil lias
purposed nnd has promised shall be
done through the great Messiah, for
His Kingdom we wait nnd pray.
Is This View Unorthodox?

rect, that It la the true doctrine of the I
Word of God. If so. It is orthodox, to
the highest sense of that term, and er
erythlng to the contrary, being opposed
to the standards of God's Word, must
be unorthodox. Everything depends
upon our standard, i stand for the
Bible. Its teaching, its d.ctrlnes. and
therefore am orthodox. On the con
trary. Higher Critics and Evolutionists
and those who hold the creeds of tbe
"Dark Ages," contradictory to the Bi
ble, are proportionately unorthodox
heretical. What Christendom needs today Is a
return to tbe Bible, an investigation
of Its teachings and, correspondingly,
a rejection of all human creeds, which
are admittedly more or less defective.
Let us "stand fast lu tbe liberty where
with Christ hath made us free." Let
us accept the Bible as the only stand
ard. Let us study It and understand
It to the extent of our ability. Let us
rejoice In every degree of harmony we
all attain In the correct understanding
of it. Let us fellowship as Christians
all who acknowledge Its Divine au
thenticity and who. In harmony with
Its presentation, are trusting In Jesus
as their Redeemer; and who, In accept
ance of His Invitation, have forsaken
all to be His footstep followers.
These are the real Christians, with
whatever sect or party they may have
become Identified, through the supposi
tion that they were doing the will of
God. These alone are the saints-, these
alone are running In the race course;
these ulouo have the opportunity of
making their "calling and election
sure." The masses known as Chris
tendom are unchristian In every sense
of the word. They are civilized heath
en, In the sense that they do not recog
nlze any more than do tbe heathen, a
personal fiod of glorious character,
rerfect In Ills Wisdom, .ftistlce. Love
and Tower. They realize not Ills All
seeing Eye. And their general lives
show their lack of this knowledge and
this faith.
More than this (shall we say It?)
the majority of professed church mem
bers, no far as we can understand their
sentiments as privately expressed and
publicly declared by the ministers of
their choice, are no more Christians
than nre the .tews. They neither be
lieve the Bible to be the Divine Rev
elation nor do they accept the Lord
Jesus Christ as the world's Redeemer
from sin and death Of course, there
fore, they do not profess to consecrate
their lives to sncrlltclnlly follow One
in whoso redemptive work they do
not believe.
The Mystery of the Cross.
Comparatively few of the hundreds
of thousands of those who have named
the inline of Christ, and who buve
come under vurlous denominational
yokes, have any knowledge of the
Mystery of the Cross of Christ, the
Mystery of the Gospel, "Tho Mystery
which hath been hid from ages nnd
generations, but now Is made manifest
to bis saints" (Colossliuis I. 2li).
Alas, the majority seem content to
bnve merely a "name to live" nnd
wish merely to be cnlled Christians
and to wear a Jeweled cross. It Is but
tho few of those who have tasted that
the Lord Is gracious and have felt an
earnest desire to know and to do the
Father's will at the cost of self-sncrl-flco.
With the majority the ltitlma
lion thnt a certain course In life Is the
"narrow way," the wny of tbe Cross,
Is sufficient to turn them In nn opposite
direction; for, while they would like
to shnre tho heavenly glories nnd hon
ors of the Lord, they nre unwilling to
be sharers In Ills Ignominy, sufferings
nnd death.
These, without relinquishing their
desire for righteousness, nre disinclined
to po to such lengths ns the Master
nnd (he Apostles taught nnd exempli
fied. Hence, they nre not Interested
In the "deep things" of God's Word.'
but merely In the more superficial.
In the language of the Scriptures, they
nre willing to say, "We will eat our
own bread, nnd wear our own apparel:
only let us bo called by thy name, to
take n way our reproach" ilsalah Iv, li
Tho fault lies largely with many of
the clergy, who an' not lending the
people to "the faith once delivered to
the saints." but away from it.
The Scriptures most distinctly teach
that we are under the reign of the
"Trlnce of this world." Satan, and
thnt our Lord nt His Second Coming
lu power nnd great glory will bind or
restrain this strong one and overthrow
his empire, which Is not of Divine au
thorization, but built upon hnmnn
wenknesses. Ignorance nnd supersti
tion. Wo nre distinctly told thnt Sa
tan shnll be bound for that thousand
years (the Mlllenulumi that he mny
deceive the people no more until the
thousand years shall be finished.
8urely, then, the Lord has used tha
great Adversary to nsslst In the nc
eonipllshlng of the Divine purposes.
Satan may have supposed thnt be was
frustrating fiod's plans, but Just as
aurely he was mistaken. The Divine
Word Is sure which declares, "My
Word that gneth forth out of My
mouth shall not return unto Me void,
but It shall accomplish thnt which t
please, nnd It shnll prosper In thnt
wherennto I sent It."
It U time that nil who really be
leve In the Bible, who really believe
flint Jesus left the glory of the FV
.ier and humbled Himself even nnto
death, thus providing the redemptive
prli-e for the Church nnd for the
w nld. should proclaim these facts
dearly, positively. They should nlso
declare, ns do the Scriptures, the Sec
ond Coming of the Redeemer and the
establishment of His Kingdom In Di
vine power and majesty, for the put
ting down of sin and the lifting up of
mankind to glorious privileges of res
titution, with a Just peualty against
every form of sin. and the Second
Death ns the enalty for wilful, per
sistent disobedience),
