We are aeelng the glorloua outline of
the Dlvino character In the Divine
Plua a never before! Our heart flrt
led tho way and rebelled against the
dictum of our fallacious reasoning.
And now, In God's due time, when
nature la yielding tip her secret and
chemistry I making the world anew,
behold, the key to the Divine Word Is
thrust Into our hands, unlocking It
oiyRtcrles and explaining It parabolic
symbols to our aatonlHlied faith! Hut
alas! meantime many of the brightest
minds of the world have rejected the
Bible, many of them even denying the
personality of the Creator; and ao far
have tbeae gone In the substitution of
human wisdom for Divine Kovclatlon
that it seems ImposHlhlo for them to
return to the pntlis of faith.
Now, however, is the tlmo for all of
those who have a hungering and
thirsting nflcr God and His righteous
ness to begin afresh the study of Ills
Word In the light of tho morning of
this New Dispensation, Not only la
tbl necessary for our own comfort
and cstalillHliment, but It Is neccssnry
also In the Interests of other liefore
whom we stand as bulwarks of the
Truth, having on the whole Armor of
God, tho Helmet of Hulvation, the
Rhleld of Fnlth, Hie Ilrenstplnto of
ItlghteousneKS, tho Sword of tho Spir
it necessary for self protection and
for the nld of nil who "nro feeling
after God If ln.ply they might And
Iflm." Acta xvll, 27,
Knowing Our God.
Our Hedeemer declared, "This Is life
eternal, that they might know Thee,
the only true nnd living God, nnd Jo
ans Christ, whom Thou hast sent."
Evidently the great Teacher bad lu
mind tho thought of our text-not
merely a knowledge abouf God, but an
aetiiinlntnuccHlilp with Him, such na
can come only through a fellowship
of spirit und an understanding of tho
Dlvino Program, None, however, nro
permitted to como lo such Intimate
knowleilgo except as they nil (i 11 mani
fest heart loyalty. F.iicu step of prog
res In our loyally to God brings thut
attitude of mind which I plcnalng to
Him and Which, when thoroughly
diimoustrnted, will lie rewarded with
everlasting life. Thus knowledge Is
liitlmntely bound up with our eternal
prospect.
F.nrth'a teeming tuillloiiH know not
God. Even those portions called CArli
tdi worship tho true God with but
light appreciation of III true diame
ter. None of those, therefore, ure In
tho condition to claim everlasting life
according to tho teaching of the Mus
ter. They nro the non-elect, In contrast
with the faithful few, who lire Scrip
turally styled "God's Klect," "tho Very
Elect," and who nro urged to make
their calling nnd election uro by pcr
eviirlng loyalty even unto death.
In our hlindiioH of the past, hsnuiu
Ing that nil tho non-elect would be con
Igned to an eternity of torture,' wo
hnvo published In our mlSHlonary re
port that ninety thoimand every day
go down Into death, Into Chi'Mlcs
graves-and, by Inference, Into eternal
torture. Alas, how mlNiinderstood nnd
how unintentionally misrepresented
has been our gracious Father, tha God
of All Grace, the Father of Merclea.
Now wo read His character In fairer
line n wo perceive Hint tho fulfil
ment of HI great nnd wonderful
phut for the salvation of the world Is
merely beginning -Hint tho election of
tho Church to be tho Ilrldo of Christ
and Joint heir with Him lu HI glori
ous Kingdom merely murks the time
for tint Belting up of Hint Heavenly
Kingdom, Hut rule of which I to bring
such blessing and opportunltd-a to tniin
kind - the non elect. Now wo perceive
that for n Hiouuiind years the Klect, on
Hie heavenly plane, Invisible to men,
"like unto tho angels," will live nnd
reign with Christ (Itevelnllon xx, 4) for
the hlfHxIug of the non-elect - for their
uplifting from conditions of sin end I in
perfection back to tho glorious heights
of tint linage of God In the flesh, lost
by Adam's dUohcdlcnco mid redeemed
by our Savior on Calvary, and to be re
stored to Adam and nil his children
found willing to receive It on Divine
terms.
In view of thi so things, how reason-
njilo that we Hud Hie Apostles and
I'rophcta riultlugly pointing forward
to Miw-lnh's Kingdom ns tho tlmo when
nil the fttinlltcs of I lie earth shall be

glorious honor of becoming (he Hrlde,
the lamb's Wife; and how the
"pounds" and "talents" granted u In
the present time munt be u d faithful
ly If we would hear III words: "Well
done, good mid faithful sennnt; thou
liiiut 1'eini faithful over a few thing, I
will make the ruler over ninny things;
eutifr thou. Into tho Joy of thy Lord."
How Clary In Thla KnowUdosf
lu th liint we'hav glurb-d H ect
and parties In our various creed-Idol
of which we are now ashamed. We
perceive that creed wornhip did it al
most as much Injury a did Idol wor-
ihlp to the heathen. Nearly all these
creed-ldola declared eternal torment for
the thousands of millions who bad nev
er beard of the Only Name. Indeed,
nearly all of them claimed that only a
mall minority of Christendom would
escape eternal torture. Some of these
creed-Idol declare that so awful a ca
tastrophe a the torture of twenty
thousand million was foreknown of
God and predestinated by II I in before
the creation of Adam. Other claim
the contrary, that God had benevolent
Intention toward our race nt the start,
but that Ills plans miscarried and
would produce the inme horrible re
sults, either because of Divine unwis
dom or because of lack of power. How"
auch presentation distressed every
Christian loyal at heart toward His
God aud sympathetic toward bis follows!
Our college and universities and,
ad to aay, our theological seminaries
are busy turning ont unbelievers
Infidel. Nor are these people wicked
or immoral In their unbelief; they aro
aa well-menulng as ever, but have
lost their way. They reject tho Bible
because they believe It to be the
foundation of the various Inconsisten
cies In their creeds; they are stum
bling for Inck of knowledge; they enn
not believe that man's hereafter is
one of centuries of Buffering, or of
eternal Buffering.
Let us now demolish these Idol
which bo long bnve misrepresented
our gracious Creator end blinded us
with Ignorance and superstition. Let
u receive tho Scripture teaching only.
Let u rejoice In the election .of the
Church to be the Kingdom class nnd
let us rejoice in the hope of Its King
dom glory for the blessing of the non
elect. Let us rejoice that "the wilder
ness shall blossom ns the rose, nnd
that the solitary place shall be Rind"
and that "God will make Ills footHtool
glorious," during tho thousand years
of Messiah' Kingdom. So desiring
we will com Into line with our text:
"Let him that glorlelh glory In this,
that ho understnudeth and knoweth
Mo, that 1 am the Lord, which exer
clseth loving-kindness, Judgment and
righteousness lu tho earth."
Now W. 8 Obcuroly.
Saint l'aul declures: "Now we Bee
obscurely." Only by faith can we
aee God' loving-kindness. Tho reign
of sin and death for six thousand
years has been but the natural re
sult of tbo violation of Divine Law
which our first purents transgressed.
Tho beginning of God's work for our
reclamation from Its consequences was
In tho sending of HI Sou to bo our
Hedeemer. Since then Ho has been
gal tiering an elect few to be Messiah's
Iirido nnd jolnt-helr in His Kingdom.
Soon very soon, wo hope and be-lieve-tlio
Church will bo completed
and the Messianic Kingdom will niaii
lfest Divine clemency, mercy, lovlng
kludncHB, Judgment nnd righteousness
In the earth.
The Undo declares that the penult'
for sin Is ludng experienced by hu
manity at tho present time tho death
penalty and that the redemption price
of Christ' death is sulllcieiit for the
sin of tho whole world. It declares
thut on account of this redemption,
Ultimately tbo resurrection of the dead
shall take place "all that are In their
graves shall hear the voice of tho Sou
of Man and como forth." It Is Im
mune ot tho Dlvino Intention Hint
there sbnll bo a resurrection of the
dead that the Bible everywhere, both
lu the Old nud New Testaments,
peaks of thoso who hnvo died, Ixith
good nud bad, an Mug "asleep," and
the protnlso In Hint "They that
loop In tho dust of tho earth shall
awake."
Nor will they como forth to similar
conditions of sorrow that now sur
round us nil. On the contrary, (be
First Itosurroctlnn Is to U composed
of tho holy, tho saintly, und Hicy nro
to lie nssoclnled with their Itedceinor

delivering and restoring mankind.
Later tho Imperfect, who have not had
their full trial, the great iiiiihi of man
kind, will bo broiiulit forth, that they
tuny lenrn tjie ways of righteousness,
Hint they may lenrn to know God, ami
Jesus Christ, nud In due time Is- up
lifted out of Hie conditions of sin nnd
death. Then will como tl.i world
opportunity. How Joyful Is the lues
sage, "Tliero Whnll lw no inure death,
neither Borrow, nor crying, nor dying;
for tho former things hnvo passed
a wny!"
Ah, how different Is God's proposi
tion of n general uplift of th' worthy
and their asM'tinnce hack to per fee-tlon--to
nil that was lost In Adam!
How different Is this fni tho "doc
trine of demons," wlii,A ,Yive per
plexed us, which have di''l'id the
Church of Christ Into nu.ni,"less
sects and parties, nnd which hiv al
most driven us from Christ niul t'io
Bible!
Only those cnu see Hie grace of Cod
now whose eye have U-en enlighten
ed and whose ears have lieon unstop
ped, Thank God, however, for the
grsclon promise that lu due time "all
Vie hlliid eye shall U opened nnd nil

then "Hie knowledge of Hie glory of

Then ninny will rescind to the Di

God, children of the Messiah, and
